We both open Quarry/Silver to build a Wharf/KC engine. I think I get a lucky turn 3 where I have 5 Copper which I can all trash with a Mint. I feel really good about my chances now because my deck is a lot thinner and when/if my opponent goes for Possession I will not have an economy (2 Quarries, a Silver and 2 Coppers) that will allow him to buy decent green cards. From there on the game progressess as expected with both of us getting more Wharves and King's Courts. I buy the Possession first to steal his next three turns and win the game easily, but much to my surprise his deck explodes and he three-piles me. The game is over turn 9!!!

I do think my opponent got very good draws, but he played well off of them.

Very interesting and fast. What I don't understand is why you bought a lookout.

I think Quarry is really the insane part of this game, making KC-Wharf even more ridiculous than it already is.

I'm also puzzled by why you bought the Lookout, but I don't think it would have changed the outcome of the game.

It was a free buy and I thought it might give me some extra actions with KC and I still had 3 Estates to trash and I thought the game would not be over by turn 9... Mostly I didn't think it would hurt...

I suppose it doesn't really hurt, because your KC-Wharves draw everything and so the fact that it takes up a slot in your hand is not too important.  But wouldn't it have sucked to draw 3 Estates + Lookout + KC?  You don't have much to trash other than the Estates anyway.

In a deck that fast (and okay, I wouldn't have guessed 9 turns either, but it's clearly not gonna be more than like 12...), I doubt it's worth the time to trash the estates. You'll be buying them back soon enough. Like I would definitely prefer copper to lookout there.
