Whew!

Today I realized the value that cards like Horse Traders add to an overly strong draw engine, just in time to squeak out a 1 point win against an opponent who had taken down 7 Colonies. I definitely didn't play this optimally and he had to stall a couple turns near the end I guess (or at least, not line up KC-Margrave for his otherwise mostly BM deck), but I just thought it was neat the way that I got to turn my initial green card buys into coin multiple times on the last megaturn. I figure that's a personal record for virtual coin accrued on a single turn o_O

Welp, just beat that:

I'm guessing I realistically was too slow setting this up and my opponent was pretty noobish... but $86 in virtual coin + a Gold on the last turn feels pretty good.

zahlman, did you know you were going to win when you ended the game, or did you just end it and hope for the best?

I was pretty confident, but I didn't really do the math, which sort of explains the order of purchase on my last turn. Also I figured that my chances were pretty slim of getting another opportunity if I didn't end it now.
