Vault provides a weak terminal draw, exceptionally weak for a card costing {{Cost|5}}. Its true strength lies in the discard-for-coin benefit. It is interesting to note, however, how powerful the combination of drawing 2 cards and then discarding for benefit is. The other card with this benefit, {{Card|Secret Chamber}}, only costs {{Cost|2}}, and Vault gives opponents a benefit--yet at {{Cost|5}}, it is still a powerful card. | Vault provides a weak terminal draw, exceptionally weak for a card costing {{Cost|5}}.

Vault becomes weaker in the presence of strong [[trashing]], especially early-game trashers like {{Card|Steward}} or {{Card|Chapel}}, which remove {{Card|Estate|Estates}}. However, Vault can still be useful as a later addition to some engines constructed with the aid of these trashers, as described below. | Vault becomes weaker in the presence of strong [[trashing]], especially early-game trashers like {{Card|Steward}} or {{Card|Chapel}}, which remove {{Card|Estate|Estates}}.
