Though Dark Ages is still new, and there hasn't been much discussion of Armory on the forum, Armory can be understood by comparing it to Workshop and Ironworks, cards with a similar gaining mechanic.
Like those two gainers, Armory is good for picking up cheap engine components like Villages and Smithies. It is good with Alt-VP rushes like Gardens, Silk Road, and Vineyards. However, since it gains directly to the top of the deck, it can be used in far more abusive ways.
- If you play Armory, gaining an Armory, it goes directly on top of your deck - guaranteeing an Armory play on the next turn.
- If you Throne Room, Procession, or King's Court an Armory, you can set up a guaranteed combo on top of your deck. If you're just trying to increase your deck size, you can just put a new Throne Room and Armory right back on top; or, you can put a Village/Smithy combo on top or two Treasure Maps, or Procession and Fortress, etc.
