It turns out that lighthouse can really have a huge first player advantage

(That even after all the cursing I was a turn from victory just makes it even worse.)

Well, he also bought more lighthouses than you (six to your four), and more cursers (he had 2 hags and a montebank to your single montebank) than you, so it isn't a surprise he won the curse war so heavily. Still frustrating, I'm sure.

The lab train can work particularly well with mountebanks. His labs meant that he could draw big hands every turn, play lighthouses every turn, and get good use from the throne. The hoard almost got you out of trouble but you expanded your deck with duchies and gold so the lighthouses had less coverage. The draws might have gone against you but you've got the type of problems you would expect from putting the two strategies against each other.
