I get the Mountebank/Secret Chamber opening, while he has to go Feast/Lookout. I figure I am in good shape. Well, everything goes wrong. My Mountebank misses the reshuffle. He gets $5 twice, really quickly, and I lose the curse war 7-3. I know I should have gotten a second Mountebank, but I don't draw $5 after that first one until Turn 6, when I get a Gold. He already has 2, and it just didn't seem worth it.

Oh, and observe my turn 15, and weep:

Robz888 plays a Lookout.
   ... getting +1 action.
   ... drawing 3 cards.
   ... trashing an Inn.
   ... discarding a Province.
   ... putting a card back on the deck.

I put back a Silver. But seriously, I have 7 Curses in my deck, and 2 Lookouts, and I can only ever get rid of one of them thanks to Expand. Great.

In the end, I buy the last Province and lose 26-54.

I have been forced to accept that lackluster play is a town tell for you.
