Gain-reaction junk defense vs junkers — Cauldron + Watchtower
Watchtower and Trader defuse Witch-family attacks on gain — a strong pick-both signal when cursers are present.
Per-gain payoff + multi-gainer — Cauldron + Berserker
Livery/Garrison/Labyrinth/Commerce only shine when you gain several cards per turn — Workshops/Horse/Loot gainers and +Buy provide those gains.
Draw-to-X blunts hand-size attacks — Berserker + Watchtower
Library-style draw-to-X cards refill after Militia-style discard attacks, and draw more when the hand starts small.
Trasher + wants-to-be-trashed — Bishop + Trail
Fortress/Rats/Feodum/Squire-style cards want to be trashed repeatedly; trash-for-benefit cards are happy to oblige.
