It is also very resilient to [[greening]], since the rest of your hand does not matter as long as you draw a Vault with a Gold, so you can expect to get some Provinces even if you dip in to Duchies early.

Because it only draws 2 cards, Vault and Village alone is not usually able to build a viable deck-drawing engine. If your opponent is also playing an engine, your Vault is also likely to benefit them more. However, Vault can be a useful card for many engines. In draw-up-to-X engines, such as with {{Card|Watchtower}} or {{Card|Library}}, but especially {{Card|Cursed Village}}, Vault can empty the hand while producing a benefit, which not only allows for more draw, but derives benefits from cards sent to the discard pile where they can be reshuffled into the deck and re-drawn, possibly to be discarded again by another Vault. | Because it only draws 2 cards, Vault and Village alone is not usually able to build a viable deck-drawing engine.
