Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Castles + Charm
Cheap alt-VP piles score best when you can gain/buy many cards per turn to pad the deck count — the generalized Beggar/Gardens pattern.
Per-gain payoff + multi-gainer — Triumph + Charm
Livery/Garrison/Labyrinth/Commerce only shine when you gain several cards per turn — Workshops/Horse/Loot gainers and +Buy provide those gains.
Victory-cards-matter + alt-VP rush — Hunter + Castles
Crossroads/Shepherd-style payoffs for revealing/discarding Victory cards pair naturally with Gardens/Silk Road-style rush plans.
