If you sort any of the 3 lists, you’ll see a lot of Base cards at the top like Jack said.
That doc is an interesting snapshot. For example, Summon is high up on the Liked list, making me think it had released somewhat recently.

Investment trashes Lich, earns VP, and gets back the Investment you trashed last turn.

Conclave mole is pretty kickass.  especially when there are +coin gaining actions like Bounty hunter here or even terminals like Jester was here.  as long as you hit a conclave and 2 actions you play the better one and then mole for a new hand.

Collection and stone mason are just ridonculous.  Not only does the stone mason allow u to gain 3 cards at a buy w/overpay, the collection gives you extra buys to stacks extra Sm plays.  I three piled by t 13 and 13 of them were for collection vps.

and not like it needs explanation but i played a collection populate game earlier.  it was 10 vp per collection u had in play (my max was 30). I won the game without ever even buying a province, just shit tons of actions.

Guard Dog + Clerk is interesting. When you have a Guard Dog in your hand when your opponent plays Clerk, it makes for +2 Cards, topdeck one, which can sometimes be a net positive

Also, Collection + Hostelry can be a nice combo, effectively letting you discard Treasures for +VP

Artisan/Gamble is pretty sick, especially in aboard without + actions.  Just topdeck a 5 cost card you want to play and then gamble it to play it like a toil basically.  In my game swamp hag was in play which makes it bonkers strong. Both to top deck and play a swamp hag immediately and to use gambles to get around the buying a card curse. And later on, when you have swamp hags, or other terminals to put in play you can just artisan the card you would have bought anyway... assuming it was 5 or less.

Both a really neat interaction and one you need to do a minor trick to activate is March and Ways. In my case way of the Turtle.  Have 3 coins and really nothing you need?  especially helpful at end game time to activate your mega turn when you spike 11 or 12 coins w an extra buy.  Buy the march and then use the way for next turn. However when you try this in game it defaults to playing the card and not the way.  What you have to do is manually click the way of the ___ button before you march the card.  In my case marching a crown set off my game winning 2 provy move by turtling a margrave. pretty neat

Specialist + Innovation: Choose to gain a copy of the card you play, and then use Innovation to play the newly-gained copy. It only works once per turn, of course, but it can be really strong, almost like a Disciple!

A similar trick, but only for Durations, exists for Specialist when you've played a Sailor earlier that turn

The new Innovation + Groom is a much stronger combination than the old Innovation, because now, you can choose to use Innovation (assuming it hasn't been used already) on either the gained Action card or the Horse that comes with it, making it a lot more flexible

Minion + Trail is a really strong combination. If you play a Minion with one or more Trails in hand, you draw additional cards for each Trail plus a Village effect for each one - especially useful if, as in the game where I found this combo, there are no villages, letting Minion + Trail fill the Village role. It's also a fairly useful counter to your opponent's Minion - with a single Trail in hand, you end up with 5 cards, and with more than one Trail, you end up with a net increase in handsize

tactician trail could lead to some pretty bonkers games.

Seems like this should work the same with Cellar, Storeroom, Forum, or Warehouse as well.

sailor + Artisan and any Duration, especially ones like wharf/Barge that draw.

Play sailor, use Artisan and then sailor plays the Wharf/Barge before you have to top deck Artisan, so it gives you 2 or 3 more options for top decking.  Plus you get the coins, or extra actions to play if you had + actions before playing Artisan. Especially with Barge it is a huge boon as it eliminates the fear that you will draw a dead action/card u wanted next turn.

This could get NUTS in a Vault game.  Vault is already super strong but for it's terminality.  Plus multiple Trails could allow vault to just print actions for a mega-turn, especially in a deck without + actions.

If you have enough draw and payload Innovation and Temple has really nice interaction.  Play all your temples to build up the temple VP you are normally a lil scared of leaving out for your opponent to take.  Buy innovation and choose innovate before temple pts.  get to add one extra Vp and then snatch it so your opponent can't steal the VP pile.

Groom + band of nomads (when the liason is something that lets you get a lot of favors, bauble in my game)
Suddenly groom is a village
(Conclave was a pretty effective village with horses that game, and bishop helped trim out all those extra action cards for points - neither of those would have let me win without using groom as a village)

EDIT hey cool post 1000

I realize I am late to the Barbarian debate, but think about this. Barbarian in a game with platinum and colonies. There is NO other card that can trash a colony (for a net -4) and the only other card that I can think of that can trash a platinum is a Pirate Ship. (which is actually worse as you lose the platinum completely whereas with Barbarian it becomes a gold, but you do lose the platinum from your next draw).

Saboteur, but that's long gone from the canonical sets. And various tricks with cost-reduction.

This could be supremely nasty in a bandit fort game...

The other day I trashed a Fortune with a Barbarian.  Talk about a nasty swing thast's a net loss of 10 coins... Even Bandit can only trash down 9
