Just look at the VP graph at the bottom, that pretty much says it all.

Highway/Saboteur might be preferable if you're trying to hit Provinces exclusively; they can replace them with Duchies or Golds, but Saboteur digs all the way through, so it's much more reliable than Knights. You can play fewer Highways once you trashed the expensive stuff.

I meant, if meanness is your thing. Obviously don't buy Saboteur when it's not in the game, that would be cheating.

For sure, big Knights engines are brutal even if you can't trash your opponent's Provinces. If they manage five Provinces before you trash the rest of their deck down to Copper and Pawns/Courtyards/&c., it should be a close game. Normally it takes them more than 8 turns to empty the Estates, and if you were sensible, Estates won't end the game anyway.

The log doesn't work for me!

I currently imagine mail-mi wearing a dark trenchcoat and a bowler hat, hunched over a bit, toothpick in his mouth, holding a gun in his pocket.  One bead of sweat trickling down his nose.

'And what is it that ye shall hope for? Behold I say unto you that ye shall have hope through the atonement of Christ and the power of his resurrection, to be raised unto life eternal, and this because of your faith in him according to the promise." - Moroni 7:41, the Book of Mormon
