I didn't mean to be rude, just pointing out that he kept doing the same thing over and over without any sort of result toward winning the game. Seems pointless to me. I don't doubt that he's better than me, a lot of people here are.
Okay. Here's why he was doing what he was doing, and why what you're suggesting would have ensured your loss. I had a massive, massive lead. If he tries to come back by some normal means, like buying victory cards, there just isn't enough green left for him to win.
So he has to go for a less conventional strategy. Check out this article:
http://dominionstrategy.com/2011/03/18/combo-of-the-day-24-kings-courtgoonsmasquerade/Here instead of goons or militia or ghost ship, he used margrave. And margrave's a bit weaker for this task than the others. But he was getting me to cough up 2-3 precious cards from my deck to him. And at the same time, I was pretty paralyzed.
What would you have suggested doing?
Also, when you're not meaning to be rude, not calling other people clueless is a start

But the article's wrong if it implies the combo doesn't win real often. It's terribly crippling. In fact, I've never seen it lose before.
