This is the weirdest (and closest) game I think I've ever played on isotropic.  Getting a Sea Hag, a Harem and a Tactician out of the Black Market (and no villages at all) was just surreal.

Anyone else had Black Market lead to Dali-esque matches?

Yes, I had one the other day. It doesn't appear to be up on Council Room yet, so I don't have the exact data, but here's the gist:

I had a 5/2 opening--I don't remember my 5, but I picked up Embargo on Turn 2. My opponent goes for Black Market with his 3/4 opening. I looked at the Black Market deck, saw Tournament, and panicked. I did NOT want my opponent pulling Tournament! Impulsively, I Embargoed the Provinces, thinking that might help slow a Tournament strategy... and then I notice that Fairgrounds are in play, which are of course perfect for a Black Market deck. And I've sabotaged the Provinces! I hurry to grab all the Fairgrounds I can, and pick up my own Black Market.

In the end, my opponent's Fairgrounds were worth way more, but we split them 5/3 in my favor. I buy a couple Provinces (despite the curses), and eek out a surprising win.

But man, we practically bought out the Black Market deck.

I had an opponent pull at least two (and I think all three) pieces of the KC-Masq-Goons combo on me once. Yeah...
Actually, if I could find that game, it would be on greatest isotropic moments, but I don't know a good way to search my bajilion games for it...

This one?

No Masquerade, but pulling KC and Goons from the BM deck would have me considering resigning, especially with Tactician and Expand on board.

How about this bizarre game from ages ago with black market, ambassadors, saboteurs, and tacticians. It was so long ago that I hadn't seen much of tactician/black market and had to 'remember' it mid game. I can specifically remember though that I lost the game (amongst other reasons) by having {Lighthouse, Tactician, Province, Shanty Town, Silver.} in hand when my opponent played a ghost ship, so I put the lighthouse and tactician on top of the deck. This wouldn't be a problem except my fingers were too fast on the button next turn and played the shanty town before the display was updated, before I could see the lighthouse put into in hand by the caravan played on the previous turn.
