What is you favourite strategy?

Hi everyone! In this post, I want to rank the strategies I think are best, but also by how much I like it.
1. [SSS] The OP Duo: You win the game without building anything. Best feeling ever.
2. [SS] The Jail Baiter: Put all your workers in the mine for gold. If someone catches them, release them with debt, then pay the debt to get resources. Unstoppable really.
3. [SS] Cathedral Rusher: End the game before anyone has time to do anything. Draft the 3 cheapest building cards you see and build five Cathedrals, that is like 70% of the game done already.
4. [S] The Resource Collector: Who let you have all of these? Everyone and their family drafts these guys, you're not going to get them all — but if you do, good for you. A bit boring tho.
5. [A] The Resource Buyer: Somehow this feel slower than collecting resources directly. You need to farm silver by sending other players' workers to jail instead of playing the Silversmith for this to work (to also slow down their resource collection). The math is more complicated than the power gain is worth imo.
6. [FFF] Black Market Wisher: No one is going to play Black Market with you. These apprentices are already underpowered as hell why do they also have a -1 virtue penalty?
What's your favorite strategy? I'd love to hear it.
