Awesome !
And I love how I used develop here, I don't know if it was the best thing to do, but it was very fun at least.

Ha, I like the victory point curves.  It took me a minute to realize that the opponent resigned and you didn't lose by a three-pile ending with a 0-9 score.

It's also funny because of that Goko log bug, it says that you only have 1 potion in you deck at the end. :P

I, too, find it annoying when someone waits out the whole game and then resigns once they see $9001 and 23 buys.

If the only engine on the board is Procession->Conspirator, I will play it.

It really is a sick combo... I've played it already a couple of times.

It totally nullifies the weakness of CM, turning each one effectively into a market (if you can get optimal deck action density and scrying poll amount).

another card CM combos with: talisman. If both players go for CMs the pile can empty after 5 turns, which is kinda insane. It combos more with talisman than other cards do because it provides it's own buy (to get lots of them fast), and action so they don't collide. With scrying pool or tactician too it gets insane.

This has probably been pointed out somewhere but I think Coin tokens go rather nicely with Potions in general. Potions cause a lot of resource misallocation issues that tokens could address, whether it's $2P when you want Golem or $4P when you want Scrying Pool.

For that matter, Plaza would be a nice way to deal with a Potion that's overstayed its welcome. Maybe also Taxman, though I expect Mine does this better.
