----------------------

This was a pretty unusual kingdom, because every single card had one of the following three properties:

• Messing with the top of a deck
• Sifting
• Being named "Silk Road"

pops went for a pretty vanilla Hunting Party/Caravan deck, while I acted the villain and went for a messy attacking-centered engine. This was a strange dynamic, because even after my Oracle -> Rabble -> Ghost Ship -> Rabble chains completely junked the top of his deck, he would just draw one card from Caravan, skip another with Hunting Party and end up with enough to buy a HP or Caravan anyway. The game was one of the most tactically demanding I've played, too; at one point pops spent about a minute deciding how to order a Province and an Estate on top of his deck.

I did enough damage, though. He never bought a Province after his second, while I was able to grab a Bureaucrat on turn 21 to kick me up to the $16 level. He forfeited on turn 24, down by 10 points. His Silks Road were probably mistakes, though I wonder if anything else would have worked. Thoughts?
