So even though the iso logs don't explicitly say what is passed with Masquerade, it's not too hard to piece it together from this bit of the game log:

Code: [Select]

   — michaeljb's turn 13 —
   michaeljb plays a Stash and 2 Coppers.
   michaeljb buys a Silver.
   (michaeljb draws: a Gold, a Silver, a Copper, and 2 Curses.)


— Tarski's turn 14 —
Tarski plays a Village.
... drawing 1 card and getting +2 actions.
Tarski plays a Masquerade.
... drawing 2 cards.
... trashing a Curse.
Tarski plays a Masquerade.
... drawing 2 cards.
... trashing a Curse.
Tarski plays a Gold and a Copper.
Tarski buys a Walled Village.
(Tarski draws: a Gold, a Walled Village, 2 Coppers, and a Curse.)
   

   — michaeljb's turn 14 —
   michaeljb plays a Gold, a Silver, and 3 Coppers.
   michaeljb buys a Province.
   (michaeljb reshuffles.)
   (michaeljb draws: 3 Stashes, a Silver, and an Estate.)

Now since this is a game report post...
I bought exactly one Walled Village, one Masquerade, and one Young Witch (Secret Chamber was the Bane), plus money with Stashes at $5 (except for the fourth and final one, which I bought with $6). Tarski basically picked up more of all those actions, plus an Expand and Shanty Town, and my simpler approach proved victorious.

I wanted to put this in one of those greatest Isotropic moment threads, but I discovered they're not stickied in the Isotropic sub-forum...is there one for 2012 yet?

Playing both Masquerade and Curse attacks always feels a little self-defeating to me.  You hand your opponent Curses only to turn around and exchange them for Coppers and Estates.

This is perhaps the funniest illustration of that idea I've seen.
