DoubleJack not doing what it's supposed to?

Is it not possible/feasible to mix in cantrips like Upgrade here? How am I struggling so much to hit $8 with so much good Treasure in my deck? And how come he doesn't seem to have any problems having so many terminals?

The upgrade works best when trashing estates for good 3 cost cards. The jacks trashed your estates immediately and would carry on trashing out curses as they arrived. This makes ventures a better and simpler alternative to upgrades. Your opponent got 3 provinces in 22 turns, so a rich treasure deck could have beaten him.

The upgrades outlived their usefulness and became a burden once you were trashing the silver that could be played for coins.

On turn 17 I would've trashed a Upgrade for a Gold.
