Curses and Copies

This is slow paced with 2 players and there isn't enough Curses to go between 2 people. You probably can use Festival or Village in the place of Mountebank for 2 player games.

There are many attacks but the majority of these are weak in this board : Young Witch and Mountebank give curses, but Ambassador return the attack. In a game without village, jester and torturer are usually bad buy, especially with ambassador. Even the presence of embargo/village doesn't change much. Here, I would go for simple Grand market race, taking a militia and maybe hoard.
