I got off to a bad start, tac may not have been the right first buy. I also got lucky sabbing his posessions. Otoh, Vive probably shouldn't have started greening so early, and probably shouldn't have played my outposts. I'm still not sure how I should have played this, or why I won.

Tactician really helps facilitates possession, similar to double tactician but in a different fashion.  I would be very very tempted to just buy nothing but possessions, tacticians, worker's villages and one outpost maybe.  It creates a very very boring game for this stand-off like game but I mean it has to be the right answer? It allows you to access their funds while also creating a defense for your own deck (against possessions, not sabs).  You could probably work in saboteurs some way if you felt it was neccessary. 

Isn't tactician a good buy? You can ensure about T5-8 possession if you buy an early potion.  Then it would be easy sailing from there?

I know this isn't the intention of possession, but this happens.

Yeah, BUT. He got possession first, and started greening as possession defense. Mirroring would probably have lost me the game. There were turns when I didn't play my tac when I knew his possession was coming up.

What I am saying is, what could he possibly do with a deck full of possession, worker's village, potions, tacticians, and 7 coppers? Buy more possessions so he controls 7 coppers again?

So what I am suggesting is that T4 should have been just straight up potion.  T6 should have been straight up possession after.  Anything he buys, you can use like a thousand times via possession.  You shouldn't be worried about him possessing you if you have nothing to really do. 

The only caveat is that he bought a hoard, which you shouldn't use, because your deck shouldn't want gold.
