Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Farmland + Haggler

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.

Self-duplicators accelerate three-pile endings — Mint + Farmland

Port/Magpie/Experiment empty their own piles fast, pairing with Gardens/Silk Road rush plans.
