Mass-Copper-gainers (Beggar/Cache/Banquet) feed cards that convert Copper density into draw/coin/VP (Counting House/Miser/Coppersmith/Fountain/Silos).
Silver-play triggers + Silver gainers — Raid + Bureaucrat
Merchant/Sauna-style Silver-play bonuses scale with how much Silver you can stack via mass gainers.
Gain-reaction junk defense vs junkers — Giant + Duplicate
Watchtower and Trader defuse Witch-family attacks on gain — a strong pick-both signal when cursers are present.
Self-duplicators accelerate three-pile endings — Duplicate + Gardens
Port/Magpie/Experiment empty their own piles fast, pairing with Gardens/Silk Road rush plans.
