Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Duke + Duchess

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.

Duke + Duchy-gainers — Duke + Duchess

Duke scores 1 VP per Duchy — cards that can gain Duchies directly accelerate it well past a normal buy plan.

Victory-cards-matter + alt-VP rush — Duke + Harem

Crossroads/Shepherd-style payoffs for revealing/discarding Victory cards pair naturally with Gardens/Silk Road-style rush plans.
