The fun part is you only have to play 1 TR for the cascade effect as opposed to KC where you can choose not to play anything.

This one is pretty comical, but it takes a little bit of a walk through:

- I open Swindler/Spice Merchant
- On my next run through the deck I pick up a Treasure Map
- In that same deck cycle, zporiri Swindles my Spice Merchant. He hesitates before turning it into a Treasure Map
- I buy a warehouse to cycle
- On my next turn (first turn after the reshuffle), I draw the two treasure maps

Best Swindle ever.

(Even better, the next time I get Swindled, he hits my Province. Which is fantastic in a Treasure Map game... Best Swindler ever...)

I'm pretty sure that that's a terrible move by your opponent. Giving you your second Treasure Map? And with Warehouse on the board?

About a year ago I nearly managed the following but missed the play.

Open $4 / Watch Tower.
Turn 3 opponent swindler my $4 into Treasure map.
I have Watchtower and 4 Copper in hand. (I trash the incoming treasure map)
Then realise I could top deck it, then buy another treasure map on my turn and top deck that as well.

I guess you'll have to take my word for it since intent isn't in the logs but this is the only time someone has stopped me from giving them a province.

Drawing the whole deck with scrying pool :
http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/10/game-20121110-061437-810e8793.html
Turn 13 : first action, scrying pool ; only one non-action card in my deck, drawing it last !!!
With bridges, conspi and villages, i know a full-action deck would have been really powerful but i was a bit lucky !!!

You forgot to mention the most impressive thing about this: you only had 2 SPs in your deck!

Realistically, though, he has enough Labs and cantrips that with the second SP, drawing his deck is pretty much guaranteed. The only interesting part is doing it the easy way (or is that the hard way?).

I would have been more impressed by the "epic fail" version, where the SP draws all the Bridges and then the Potion.

I open 5/2 on a board where it's probably no better than 4/3. I decide to grab Lighthouse over Pearl Diver as the 2; the the only attack is Followers so it's defense probably won't matter.

My opponent get Followers, and plays it three times.

Quote
— Joseph2302's turn 11 —
Joseph2302 plays a Tournament.
... getting +1 action.
... Joseph2302 reveals a Province.
... Joseph2302 discards a Province and gains a Followers on the deck.
... drawing 1 card and getting +$1.
Joseph2302 plays a Followers.
... drawing 2 cards.
... gaining an Estate.
... Lighthouse provides [UWSFFS] I Eat Tables immunity to the attack.
Joseph2302 plays 2 Silvers and 2 Coppers.
Joseph2302 buys a Gold.
(Joseph2302 draws: a Province, 2 Estates, and 2 Coppers.)

Quote
— Joseph2302's turn 15 —

Joseph2302 plays a Gold, a Silver, and a Copper.
Joseph2302 buys a Harem.
(Joseph2302 reshuffles.)
(Joseph2302 draws: 2 Estates, a Gold, and 2 Coppers.)

Quote
— Joseph2302's turn 17 —
Joseph2302 plays a Pearl Diver.

Trashing Provinces for no immediate gain is one of my favorite moves.

All Provinces are gone.

http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/12/game-20121112-083634-00032e53.html

First time doing this (see bold):

— Your turn 11 —
You play a Governor.
... You get +1 action.
... You draw a Crossroads, a Silver, and a Province.
... mathaztec draws 1 card.
You play a Governor.
... You get +1 action.
... You draw a Conspirator, a Governor, and a Silver.
... mathaztec draws 1 card.
You play a Conspirator.
... You draw a Governor and get +1 action and +$2.
You play a Conspirator.
... You draw a Silver and get +1 action and +$2.
You play a Crossroads.
... You reveal your hand.
... You draw 2 Conspirators and get +3 actions.
You play a Conspirator.
... (You reshuffle.)
... You draw a Silver and get +1 action and +$2.
You play a Conspirator.
... You draw a Silver and get +1 action and +$2.
You play a Governor.
... You get +1 action.
... You gain a Gold.
... mathaztec gains a Silver.
You play a Governor.
... You get +1 action.
... (You reshuffle.)
... You draw a Gold.
... mathaztec draws 1 card.
You play a Governor.
... You get +1 action.
... You trash a Gold.
... You gain a Province.
... mathaztec trashes a Nomad Camp.
... mathaztec gains a Duchy.
You play a Nomad Camp.
... You get +1 buy and +$2.
You play 5 Silvers.
You buy a Province.
You buy a Province.
(You reshuffle.)


I was playing Governor + Conspirator, so I hadn't picked up any Gold in the game. It was end game and I was worried mathaztec could at least double province and he was ahead by a significant margin. There were three provinces left. I had drawn my deck and had enough for two provinces. And I had 3 Governors.

Governor 1: Gain a Gold
Governor 2: +3 cards (draw the gold)
Governor 3: Trash a card, turn gold into province
Nomad Camp. Buy 2 provinces

Whew.

I had a fun turn today where my hand was:

Masquerade-Province-Gold-Silver-Harem

It was my opponent's turn and he played a Mining Village and his own Masq, I passed him my Masq hoping to get a Copper.
Alas, he passed me an Estate, but he played the Masq he got from me, passing me a Copper.
So by him playing 2 Masqs, one of which was mine, I end up with precisely enough for a Province.

It wasn't on Iso, but I was mucking around learning Dark Ages in Androminion when I noticed a combo on the board.  A few turns later, and I'd won a two-player non-Colony game with 85 points.

Remaking Feodum into Graverobber makes my Dominion-willy hard. :D

Androminion gets dark ages, but Iso doesn't?  Man - asking for permission sucks!

Not Iso, but this seemed like a fairly standard game, then I started greening, and things got a little weird, and then...

On goko : The last turn, I played band of misfits two times as a... moat, because I really needed +card !

Quote from: goko
(brokoli - draws Moneylender, Duchy, Silver, Bandit Camp, Band of Misfits)

---------- brokoli: turn 19 ----------
brokoli - plays Bandit Camp
brokoli - draws Band of Misfits
brokoli - gains Spoils
brokoli - plays Band of Misfits
brokoli - chooses Moat
brokoli - plays Moat
brokoli - draws Province, Festival
brokoli - plays Festival
brokoli - plays Band of Misfits
brokoli - chooses Moat
brokoli - plays Moat
brokoli - draws Copper, Gold
brokoli - plays Moneylender
brokoli - trashes Copper
brokoli - plays 1 Silver, 1 Gold
brokoli - buys Province
brokoli - buys Estate
brokoli - draws Silver, Overgrown Estate, Duchy, Militia
brokoli - shuffles deck
brokoli - draws Gold

As you can see, it was the right move ! :)

A game of King's Court, Ambassador and Alchemist:

http://dominion.isotropic.org/gamelog/201211/28/game-20121128-010621-9d3bc470.html

I played against ZiNOS, we both had roughly the same idea, get Alchemists, King's Courts and hit our opponent hard with Ambassadors. I wound up on top of the early Ambassador war, and was able to get some severe King's Court--King's Court-- Ambassador--Ambassador turns off against him, hitting him with Estates and Potions.

The reason I mention the game here is that I was very nearly too successful, we'd bought out the Alchemists, and when I dumped 11 Potions and all but one of the Estates in his deck, he actually had a large lead (with a huge and terrible deck) and we were 3 cards short of 3-piling.

Has it happened with KC-Ambassador that someone has dumped so much garbage in the opponent's deck that they actually lose on piles before they can buy Colonies/Provinces to make up the deficit from Estates?

Not with KC, but in a 4-player I was the only one who didn't get Ambassador. The game ended on Lighthouse/Fishing Village/Estate, and I had basically all the Estates.

Had an IRL game recently that ended on Fishing Villages, Estates and Ruins gone. I was the only one with a Province and I also had a couple of Duchies, but another guy got 13 Estates and two or so Duchies. I lost with 1 point in the end. This was a 4p game.
