cards in supply: Golem, Great Hall, Haggler, Haven, Library, Pirate Ship, Potion, Secret Chamber, Silk Road, Tactician, and Watchtower
I basically went for a Silk Roads strategy with 2 Hagglers.
Firstly I used the Hagglers for Great Halls + Havens, later for Silk Roads + Silver and Duchy + Silver. So I used the Hagglers to basically keep my buy power up while greening. Havens were helpful to line up the buys and not waste any $.
My opponent went for 2 Pirate Ships, a Tactician and the rest money. Due to my quick dilution, his Pirate Ships got stuck at $2.
Without spoiling the outcome, what do you guys think, is this a Silk Roads board? I always get kind of (over)excited when I see Silk Roads with other VP cards. In this game, the only +Buy is Tactician, but I thought I didn't need it. With Havens and Haggler, getting an average of ~$5 wasn't that hard.
The big problem with my strategy is that it basically isn't a rush. Getting those cards would take a lot of turns. So I wasn't exactly rushing, but not holding out either. In the actual game, I got one Province when the opportunity presented itself.
