I'm going to give this new expansion two thumbs up. What's great about this expansion is the focus on carrying a wide array of cards in your hand instead of just piling into whichever supply decks are perceived to be the best in descending order. Games focusing on this expansion are almost always ended by purchase of the last province.
For people who have all things Dominion, we recommend the following deck that was loads of fun and wealth heavy. We all managed pretty good scores even with the Jester bringing Curse cards into play. We built this deck using Cornucopia, Intrigue and Prosperity (because Intrigue has all the base cards you don't need the original Dominion for this build).
Here is our recommended deck:
Treasure and Victory
Copper, Silver, Gold and Platinum (Prosperity)
Estate, Duchy, Province
Supply Piles
Secret Chamber (Intrigue)
Hamlet (Cornucopia)
Menagerie (Cornucopia)
Tournament and the 5 Prize cards (Cornucopia)
Horse Traders (Cornucopia)
Jester (Cornucopia)
Harvest (Cornucopia)
Grand Market (Prosperity)
Harem (Intrigue)
Hoard (Prosperity)

This expansion definitely does a good job of keeping player hands mixed as many benefits come from having a large assortment of cards.
We had a great game in which my ass was handed to me again. By Kyro. It's almost like he knows what he's doing.
