Fun game!
I did not deserve the "Stalemate". You would have won in only a few more moments...
They should really look at the stalemate conditions!

I agree. I had a stalemate the other day against a mill deck. He had no cards in hand and nothing on the board except the mill. I had several in hand and 2 sites with influence and an agent. I had the game well in control but got a draw.

That was quite the game--two copy decks going at it. Yeah, the Lorenzos probably would have done it in a day or two, but it was close enough that I think the stalemate was well deserved on your end. I would have liked to have looked at the archive at the end, there had to be like twenty in-depths in there, and I still had four in my hand! I think a stalemate should occur like it does in chess--when neither player can win. Ending because neither player can draw a card is a bit silly when we have like thirty cards in our hands between us. Still a great game though. Best stalemate I've ever played.

I will file a bug report on this one as I don't think it is right the way Stalemates are handled now.

Well a bug is something that is not working as intended. The devs have mentioned that it is intended that when both players can no longer draw, it is a stalemate.
I tend to agree, as you can't really go with the condition: "if both players can't draw and have no cards in hand", as there are more often than not situations when cards can no longer be played for a lack of target. Then the game will just sit in limbo until someone leaves.
To add something like "both players can no longer play cards from hand" is very situational. I hold back agents and all your agent kills can't be played. The game hangs in limbo.
I think as it is is the only way to conceivably have a fair stalemate condition. If a player loses because they can no longer draw as in MTG, draw decks become severely disadvantaged.
