Gardens/Silk Road + gainer + +Buy — Nobles + Ironworks

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.

Multiple Potion-cost piles — Apothecary + Golem

A single Potion purchase amortizes across piles — a lone Potion-cost card is a cost, two or more is a plan.

Victory-cards-matter + alt-VP rush — Baron + Nobles

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