Just wanted to share the result of my latest game:
12 VPs for me... vs 48VPs for my oponent!

Dragon teeth + infernal engine gets him here:

I know, bad draft from my side, could have retained infernal engine on first hand.

Have you already seen something like this?

A big thumb up to my opponent for the brilliant turnaround (and who had so much clicking to do :D)
Have a nice day and a lots of fun!

I've won with Dragon Teeth and Infernal Engine a few times.

I will always choose (feel forced to choose) Infernal Engine, Dragon Teeth, and Fountain of Youth (another artifact that combos well with Engine) in the draft. That way, even if I don't get the combination of cards, at least I'll know my opponent won't either.

At this stage, 135 pts in round 4 (very impressive by the way!), shall we consider it as a game flaw ?

Cheers,

Me and my dad simulated a game with three irrelevant cards (represented by x) and mage of witch, 5 relevant cards; dragon teeth, horn of plenty, fire whip, and infernal engine. The final vps was 2123

Cheauwn, this is impressive. It would be interesting if your opponent has hypnotic basin, chalice of life and coral reef :)

Impressive, but it raises an issue of sportsmanship. What's the point of taking all those extra turns beyond rubbing it in?

Yeah, another huge game flaw. Can't even call it an exploit.

Yep, that happened to me, randomly dealt and had both in my opening hand. Opponent conceded before I could win but I was gonna have 22 points on round 3.
