Very interesting game.
I started with Bureaucrat/Masquerade, he opened Silver/silver

Very soon after, on turn 9, I developed my bureaucrat into Festival/Menagerien putting them on top of my deck.

The next turn, I was very lucky :

(brokoli draws: 2 Coppers, a Festival, a Province, and a Menagerie.)
...
He play masquerade, I gave him a copper, He gave me an estate
...
   — brokoli's turn 10 —
   brokoli plays a Menagerie.
   ... revealing a Copper, a Festival, a Province, and an Estate.
   ... drawing 3 cards and getting +1 action.
   brokoli plays a Festival.
   ... getting +2 actions, +1 buy, and +$2.
   brokoli plays 2 Coppers and 2 Golds.
   brokoli buys a Festival.
   brokoli buys a Margrave.
   (brokoli draws: a Copper, a Masquerade, an Estate, a Gold, and a Silver.)

After, he played the combo Margrave/Masquerade.
I think he played too many margraves in a same turn, for insistance, on turn 14, I had a poor draw :
(brokoli draws: a Copper, 2 Provinces, a Silver, and an Estate.)
After three margaves :
   — brokoli's turn 14 —
   brokoli plays a Festival.
   ... getting +2 actions, +1 buy, and +$2.
   brokoli plays a Copper and a Gold.
   brokoli buys a Duchy.
   (brokoli reshuffles.)
   (brokoli draws: a Copper, 2 Festivals, a Masquerade, and a Province.)

The game ended closely :


#1 brokoli: 31 points (4 Provinces, 4 Estates, and a Duchy); 15 turns
         opening: Bureaucrat / Masquerade
         [26 cards] 4 Festivals, 2 Menageries, 1 Margrave, 1 Masquerade, 3 Coppers, 3 Silvers, 3 Golds, 4 Estates, 1 Duchy, 4 Provinces

#2 kvothe: 30 points (4 Provinces, a Duchy, and 3 Estates); 16 turns

        [26 cards] 4 Festivals, 3 Margraves, 1 Develop, 1 Laboratory, 1 Masquerade, 1 Menagerie, 1 Mine, 2 Coppers, 1 Silver, 3 Golds, 3 Estates, 1 Duchy, 4 Provinces

I suspect here that he was hoping for a Margrave/Masquerade set piece combo. While Margrave tends to get weaker with each subsequent attack, the more Margraves you play, the better Masquerade is at the end, as its more likely your opponent will give you something good.
