I just got finished with a game that I saw as an obvious engine, centered around the following pieces.  My opponent went for apothecary, which got him out to a huge lead, but with the attacks I had plenty of time to recover!

He was not very happy, thinking I was getting great luck with my saboteurs.

16:27 OlavRokne: goddamn. two provinces.
16:27 Powerman: Well, you don't have much else over 3
16:27 OlavRokne: workers villages.
16:27 OlavRokne: silvers
16:28 Powerman: Thats only like your 2nd silver
16:29 OlavRokne: four provinces?

However, seeing his final deck composition, there wasn't much else for me to hit.

Wow, props to him for sticking it out!

yeah, and not getting all worked up about it, too.

I'd probably go Apothecary also, but I'd:

1) Try much harder to draw $4 on a non-potion turn before turn 8!  Those three Silvers are real problems...
2) Prioritize one Salvager before any Worker's Village to clear out all those Estates and eat a curses here or there
3) Transition into a 4-5 Worker's Village and 2-3 Torturers rather than straight-up eat 10 curses and let you have all the fun

It took you 20 turns to get your 24 points against no attacks, so you probably overbuilt.

Oh I know I overbuilt.  I overbuilt a lot.
