For context, I was down 4 - 0 in Provinces. I had a very large KC/Wharf/HP based draw engine that could go through my deck. I just needed that Pile-driving turn to come back. The title says my immediate reaction to that Swindler play.

In the end, I manage to scrape up $40 netting 2 Provinces, 4 Duchies and 2 Estates to come out with a slim 25 - 24 victory but gosh, I thought that Swindler had just thwarted my comeback.
