Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Farmland + Border Village
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.
Gain-reaction junk defense vs junkers — Ill-Gotten Gains + Trader
Watchtower and Trader defuse Witch-family attacks on gain — a strong pick-both signal when cursers are present.
Victory-cards-matter + alt-VP rush — Silk Road + Farmland
Crossroads/Shepherd-style payoffs for revealing/discarding Victory cards pair naturally with Gardens/Silk Road-style rush plans.
