Same game plan loses Curses 8-2? Just... what.

We both open ST-Potion in the hope of using the ST for cycling and as a pseudo-Lab early to help hit $3p for Familiars, as well as to have them later to activate Conspirators. Neither of us ends up taking any money, instead looking to Conspirators for virtual coin, with Tactician to make some big hands and make stuff happen. He didn't buy Lighthouse until turn 10 when it was all he could afford. Yet somehow I kept missing $5 for quite some time, lost the curse split 8-2 on what were otherwise similar decks, and then he seemingly was able to put together a doubletac engine for a little bit in the middle.

I just... don't even know.

He was cycling and therefore playing Familiar way faster due to Tactician. The fact that you did not get the 5 for it is unfortunate, but that's life. After Turn 9 I think its all said and done.

Lighthouses are a good buy and much better than chasing shanty town + conspirator. That comes later. You did get the worst draws for that pairing but the odds are against them providing the magic hands and everything else is a poor outcome.
