 My opponent's deck is winning the ambassador tennis and is already buying platinum before I bought anything costing more than five...(see turn 16) and I come back with a massive forge-sabotuer-amb-stables-throne room deck. The interesting points are that I thought saboteur would be strong here because usually ambassador decks have some problems accumulating money early(I probably either didn't get it early enough or late enough) and I knew that a massive stables-throne room chain was my best chance at recovering when I realized how many *gifts* his ambassadors were sending. I think my constant sabotaging is what gives me a shot at recovering because it slows him down enough that he isn't already won before I have time to catch up. By the end his deck is more or less in shambles except for vp cards because of me clogging with ambassador and trashing a lot of his good cards with sabotuer. I messed up with over trashing my coppers which I needed to feed to stables causing me to have a couple of dud turns. I think I was pretty lucky to have a comeback and maybe I should've gotten a second ambassador before my first stables. Any other thoughts on this game or improvements for either side?

Doesn't look like he had much strategy at all. Many turns when he could have returned copper but didn't, some weird buys (1 NV?). Buying duchies in a colony game. Buying saboteur.

If he had played the ambassador game a little better or had just kept building up to colonies once he got that money lead I think he would have creamed you.
