MO 3: play shupe, hillock shupe, decoy shupe. can't caranthir shupe, because it's a special. 3 copies.
NG 4: shupe, emhyr, kingslayer the shupe, menno into decoy on shupe, skellen decoy on shupe... 2 shupes played, 2 shupes in deck. albrich for next round or into joachim, or isbel, or some targetted thinning to pull both. 4 copies.
other golds are much simpler, since shupe is doomed.
MO 5: caranthir a gold, hillock caranthir on gold, play the one from hand. 3 copies on the board. 1 can be decoyed, renew the other in next round. 5 copies.
NG 6: emhyr a gold, kingslayer copy, decoy one, skellen decoy the other, draw 1 or both from deck, shuffle 1 back with assire, then renew 1 and draw the 2nd in next round. 6 copies.
It may even be possible to get 7+, but I'm too lazy to work on a solution (create, enemy deck, etc). This is elementary, broken stuff that dodged QA.
note: NG can also use Yen: Invocation to decoy another shupe or gold, but I haven't worked out the solution... that's 5 shupes or 7 golds... Basically, she's decoy+Albrich in one card. You can also use albrich on yen invocation, before you decoy shupe, and pull yen: invoc instantly to decoy the other shupe and topdeck it, must pull the other with thinning or mulligan though.
Go forth and prosper...
