Lurker + Pouch

With the right split, you can open with 3 Lurkers, which may or may not be good, but is definitely neat.

Goons / Mountain Village

More often than not, for whatever reason, you won't be able to draw your deck each turn.

Recyclíng Goons from discard and getting the action to play them felt good in a recent game of mine. I discarded some Goons with Sentry to be able to pick them up with Mountain Village.

Transmogrify & Treasure Map

Don't want to junk your deck on the oft chance your Treasure Maps will collide? Grab a couple of Transmogrifys instead and turn those initial starting silvers into treasure!

Guildhall & Ill-Gotten Gains

The Copper-gaining of IGG becomes a lot more attractive when you're getting a coffer for each Copper you gain, and getting a coffer each time you hand out a Curse is also pretty attractive.

(Actually this board also had Courtier and Treasurer also—lots of ways to gain Treasure mid-turn.)

Artificer + Crypt + Triumph

Played a game with this where I was drawing my deck with a few artificers left over and a crypt in hand. Realized I could discard nothing to topdeck coppers and draw them, boosting triumph points and then setting the coppers aside with crypt.

Innovation + Stonemason

Treacherous for three-piling. You can squeeze five stonemasons out of 4 coins and a buy.

Don't know if someone has put this one up yet, and it might even be useful enough to be considered a combo, because you can build your strategy around this (or at least, I did).
Lurker + Prince

Lurkers make gaining Prince really easy, so that they don't compete with Province anymore. They also really like being Princed. The more Princed Lurkers you have, the easier gaining Princes becomes, and you keep getting free Action card gains to build a quick engine (without need of villages) until you're ready for an easy 3-pile.

Side note: the presence of Watchtower is great for this interaction because of the topdecking effect. The Princes can become useful the very next turn, and you can make sure they collide with your Lurkers by gaining them at the right time.

Transmogrify + Cemetery was fun. Transmogrify sucks at trashing cost junk, but Transmogrifying a Silver into a Cemetery lets you trash all the other junk in your hand. And if you have another Transmogrify on the mat, you can instantly turn that Cemetery into a useful !

Forager + Treasurer was really nice too. Trash that Gold for the Forager bonus, then get it right back in hand for your payload. I just played a game that had Salvager too and it all worked very nicely together.

Even if you don't have another Transmogrify, you should be able to trash the Cemetery immediately, right?

Centuries later, archaeologists discover the remains of your ancient civilization.

Evidence of thriving towns, Pottery, roads, and a centralized government amaze the startled scientists.

Finally, they come upon a stone tablet, which contains but one mysterious phrase!

Flag Bearer/Quest

Not the best, probably, but does guarantee a Gold on turn 2.

Huh. Diadem turns Villagers into Coffers if you can play it every turn. Interesting.

Tournament + Herald

Used Herald overpay to topdeck province and tournament. I bought an early province and got 3 prizes with it on my next shuffle.

Well, not if you keep buying herald, and avoid drawing too many cards.

Also Black market + Fairgrounds. It depends on the size of the black market deck, but it's still a lot more then without Black Market

Would go so far as to say Fairgrounds is never wrong on a BM board.

Edge case: BM has 0-1 cards in it. Which is a legal Black Market setup.

Fairgrounds is basically always better than Province on BM boards, but that doesn't mean it's always the best way to score. Goons and Groundskeeper come to mind.

Herald/Navigator!

Nothing else lets you stack so many cards so you can ensure that your Herald hits another Herald which hits something else good.

(Cartographer might be better, especially if you have less terminal capacity, but Navigator is the one that was in the game I actually played.)
