An example of second player advantage

Peddler. Ghost Ship, Cache, Pirate Ship, Young Witch, Cutpurse, Shanty Town (Bane) , Apothecary,Embargo, Haven, Transmute

Or, how to be really mean to someone because you're a huge jerk.

Opponent gets 4/3, opens potion on a board w/ transmute, apothecary. I get 3/4 open Embargo, then he gets a silver, I get Young With w/ Shanty Town as the Bane.

Opening Potion on an Embargo board is almost always a big mistake. Maybe worth it if Familiar is the only Curser on the board or if a single University will give you a big advantage.

Or if there are multiple potion-costs that are on their own good enough to go potion for.
Overall, I don't think this is 2p advantage so much as the OP outplaying his opponent.

Is it worth embargoing the bane if your opponent passes on YW? I guess that could work from P1 or P2 but that move may favor P2.
