Interesting Ambassador Game

I just played a game featuring everyone's favorite dominion pastime.  Ambassador Tennis!  The interesting thing was that I was able to win the game of tennis without buying a second ambassador!  Instead of going Ambassador/Ambassador or Worker's Village/Ambassador planning to go double ambassador, I open Spice Merchant/Ambassador.  The spice merchant took care of coppers passed my way and cycled my deck to play my single ambassador more frequently.  Additionally, if I wanted some cash to buy something (in this game,mostly Minion), I could take the money.  However, my opponent didn't go super aggressive with his double ambassador opting to only trash 1 card on turns 3 and 4 in order to purchase silver.   Is this still a viable option if an opponent goes super ambassador with his passing of junk?  For this game, it worked, but I don't know if this could keep up with an opponent who plays 2 ambassadors a turn.

Hello.  Name's Bruce.  It's all right.  I understand.  Why trust a shark, right?

Is quite curious - Who is the mystical "Celestial Chameleon"?

According to CR, Spice Merchant is the third-best partner to an Ambassador opening, after only Tournament and Caravan, and #20 overall.  It's elite for sure.

To discard or not to discard?  That is the question.

Why 3rd best? I would expect it to be better than Tournament or Caravan simply because Spice helps trash cards where as the other 2 is just "draw card here".

Probably because Tournament and Caravan are just better cards than Spice Merchant.
