Ive heard of people drawing a hand of crap, but three turns in a row of nothing but green and purple?


— Morgrim's turn 31 —
Morgrim plays a Gold, a Copper, and 2 Platinums.
Morgrim buys a Colony.
(Morgrim draws: 2 Estates, a Mint, a Duchy, and a Colony.)

— Morgrim's turn 32 —
Morgrim buys a Copper.
(Morgrim draws: 3 Estates and 2 Worker's Villages.)

— Morgrim's turn 33 —
Morgrim plays a Worker's Village.
... drawing 1 card and getting +2 actions and +1 buy.
Morgrim plays a Worker's Village.
... drawing 1 card and getting +2 actions and +1 buy.
Morgrim buys a Copper.
(Morgrim draws: 2 Estates, 2 Curses, and a Duchy.)

Greatest moment?  More like saddest moment.

   (mith draws: a Silver, 2 Cities, a Province, and an Ambassador.)

All Provinces are gone.
mith wins!

I don't think I had ever Ambassador'd two Provinces before... Just in time, too, Geronimoo's deck was getting awfully scary.

I one time was doing horrible.  I don't like resigning, so instead I did this and gave him the last province.

mprage plays a Torturer.

-----------------
hsiale plays a Chapel.
   ... trashing 4 Curses.

I got all 10 Curses that game, not discarding even once and got rid of all of them quickly, still my chain was a bit slower than his and I lost 21-30. But not even thinking about discarding to Torturer was fun.

[GwinnR]

Best Menagerie I've ever seen (ten different cards):

— JP's turn 17 —
JP draws 1 card from the Caravan.
(JP reshuffles.)

JP plays a Pearl Diver.

In this game.

[Tables]

The fact it had a Black Market in it did weaken the achievement somewhat.

[ednever]

Maybe my dumbest moment.

I was behind in a Goon's match, but King's Court and Scheme were in play. And I managed I managed a turn where I played basically all my cards, nine 'effective' scheme plays and an Outpost. So I can perfectly set up my next hand. On my next hand I should be able to KC all three of my Goon's for 10 buys and 3 VP/buy for a total of 30 VP. With the $18 that generates I could end the game on piles for a come-back win. Piece of cake.

 — ednever's turn 16 —
...A bunch of stuff, then...
ednever puts a King's Court, a King's Court, a King's Court, a Scheme, a Scheme, a Scheme, a Goons, a Goons, and a Goons back on the deck (first on top).

I was all ready for my 9 card hand, 9x Goon's play, and who know's what else. Big finish.

So, here was the greatest turn ever:
 — ednever's extra turn (from Outpost) —
   ednever plays a King's Court.
   ... and plays a King's Court.
   ... ... and plays a King's Court.
   ... ... ... but plays no action with it.
   ... ... and plays the King's Court again.
   ... ... ... but plays no action with it.
   ... ... and plays the King's Court a third time.
   ... ... ... but plays no action with it.
   ... and plays the King's Court again.
   ... ... but plays no action with it.
   ... and plays the King's Court a third time.
   ... ... but plays no action with it.
   (ednever draws: 2 Goons and 3 Schemes.)

Oops. Guess that scheme play should have been:
ednever puts a King's Court, a King's Court, a Scheme, a King's Court,  a Scheme, a Scheme, a Goons, a Goons, and a Goons back on the deck (first on top).

Sometimes it pays to pay attention to the details...

Here's the log:

[jaybeez]

I played a game today where I came from behind to win mostly thanks to Followers.  And I got the Tournament out of the Black Market deck.

It felt... dirty.  But man.  The only two cards in the game that can give you the only available copy of a card*, and I combined them.  It was a win on a higher plane of bullshit-ness.

* - well, Knights.  But they're not so different from each other as to be game-warping like other kingdom cards you get from BM or the Prizes.

[GendoIkari]

So we've all heard of using Ambassador to give your opponent the last Province for the win. But I've never seen this before today:

   — Gendo's turn 23 —
   Gendo plays a Throne Room.
   ... and plays an Ambassador.
   ... ... Gendo reveals a Province.
   ... ... returning 0 copies to the supply.
   ... ... gnfnrf gains a Province.
   ... and plays the Ambassador again.
   ... ... Gendo reveals a Province.
   ... ... returning 0 copies to the supply.
   ... ... gnfnrf gains a Province.
   (Gendo draws: an Estate, a Silver, a Throne Room, a Province, and an Ambassador.)

All Provinces are gone.
Gendo wins!

There's an example of that in this thread -- http://forum.dominionstrategy.com/index.php?topic=6290.msg190800#msg190800

[Squidd]

But in that game, mith gave away two and then bought the last one. Gendo just gave away the last two, which is slightly more impressive.

[TheMathProf]

It wasn't necessarily a well-played game per se, and the shortage of +Buys with King's Court made me sad, but in a two-player game:

   — TheMathProf2005's turn 27 —
   TheMathProf2005 plays a Pirate Ship.
   ... getting +$17.

I know that's got to be in no way a record, but it'll hopefully bring out the better performances.

[jaybeez]

jaybeez plays a Swindler.
   ... getting +$2.
   ... fava turns up a Trusty Steed and trashes it.
   ... replacing fava's Trusty Steed with a Curse.

We'd done the Ambassador thing, were clearly building up to some Highway/Mining Village/Bridge megaturn madness ... and then I realised that with $2 for a Province and a couple of spare Buys ...

Just spent $15 on an Herbalist.

[Awaclus]

This isn't probably the biggest Counting House ever or anything like that, but the number 16 is a running joke at my school so this moment was quite great for me.

   — Awaclus's turn 23 —
   Awaclus plays a Counting House.
   ... putting 16 Coppers from the discard pile into the hand.
   Awaclus plays an Ill-Gotten Gains.
   ... getting +$1.
   ... gaining a Copper in the hand.
   Awaclus plays 20 Coppers.
   Awaclus buys a Province.

That's funny because I just saw a bot do one better today xD

I was playing an embarrassingly long game against Banker Bot today. I'll post the log but my usually poor play is even worse thanks to watching a Charlie Brooker show at the same time. http://dom.retrobox.eu/?/20130223/log.50e87c23e4b0101dec0f5c9d.1361629454604.txt

It's a Colony game that I won, where I managed to get all ten Curses in the Banker's deck with a combo of Sea Hag and Ambassador (the bot didn't buy one ) before getting a Farming Village/Smithy engine going, I held on to a single Copper that I would Ambassador over to the bot every turn. This sounds great, but due to being distracted I forgot that counting house was on the board and missed the bot buying it.

With no +buy it wasn't too scary, but imagine my surprise when I looked at my screen between jokes to see this turn played out.

Banker Bot   plays Farming Village
Banker Bot   reveals Counting House
Banker Bot   places Counting House in hand
Banker Bot   plays Alchemist
Banker Bot   draws Farming Village, Estate
Banker Bot   plays Farming Village
Banker Bot   reveals Curse, Gold
Banker Bot   places Gold in hand
Banker Bot   discards Curse
Banker Bot   plays Alchemist
Banker Bot   draws Gold, Vagrant
Banker Bot   plays Vagrant
Banker Bot   draws Copper
Banker Bot   reveals: Copper
Banker Bot   places Copper on top of deck
Banker Bot   plays Counting House
Banker Bot   places cards in hand: Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper, Copper
Banker Bot   plays 17 Copper, 2 Gold
Banker Bot   buys Province
Banker Bot   gains Province
Banker Bot   draws Copper, Estate, Alchemist, Potion, Copper

It's a good thing I already had 7 colonies...

[sparky5856]

Haha, seeing the bot do that is hilarious.

I myself just recently had a game where I got 19 coppers with my Counting House, and with the +Buy my Pawn provided, bought the last two colonies, and managed to tie the game O_o

There was a game on the 2011 Greatest Moments List though that featured someone getting 27 coppers from their Counting House. I was sad that I couldn't beat that >_<

[Axxle]

The bot only put 15 coppers in hand, Awaclus still beats it!
