Early trashing beats Familiar

This game had a board with a lot of things going on: good trashing, Familiar, Tournament, Highway/Ironworks combo, and more. Instead of opening Potion, I opened Remake/Lookout, with the aim of getting my deck thin enough that by the time I actually got a Familiar I'd have a cycling advantage and be able to catch up on cursing and trash curses faster. It seems to have worked out—although I bought Familiar late and trashed my Potion immediately afterward, I ended up winning by a large margin and had fewer Curses in my deck at the end of the game than my opponents did. Secret Chamber was a key card for me with my opponents using Familiar a lot: it enabled me to line up Province with Tournament and Remake with Curse and so on. I was the first to win a Tournament and gained Princess, hoping to line it up with my Highways, but that never happened (neither did my Ironworks, I think); I just didn't have enough Highways in my deck for that to work out.

All in all an interesting game with an interesting board, I think.
