Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Farmland + Develop
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.
Silver-play triggers + Silver gainers — Raid + Trader
Merchant/Sauna-style Silver-play bonuses scale with how much Silver you can stack via mass gainers.
Self-duplicators accelerate three-pile endings — Port + Farmland
Port/Magpie/Experiment empty their own piles fast, pairing with Gardens/Silk Road rush plans.
