Yes, yes, I know that this is a pretty obvious combo because Vault scales so well with hand-size.  But I just played a game with this yesterday and there was one thing in particular that stood out.  Most people are aware of the Vault/Gold =>Province trick that allows for heavy greening in Vault BM decks.  Now consider adding Caravan to your Vault BM deck.  On turns after you've played a Caravan, it is only necessary to have Vault/Silver for Province.  If you manage 2 Caravans you automatically have Province with Vault in hand. 

In the game I played, Sea Hag was also present making it slightly more difficult to work up to Gold.  The presence of Caravan gave me multiple Province turns due to the Caravan/Silver/Vault interaction described above.

Iirc, this one's pretty much a nombo - it performs hardly better than straight vault.

Dominiate gives me 1023:1080 for DoubleVault vs DoubleVault w/ Caravans

Code: [Select]


{
  name: 'DoubleVault'
  requires: ['Vault']
  gainPriority: (state, my) -> [
    "Province" if state.countInSupply("Gold") > 0
    "Duchy" if 0 < state.gainsToEndGame() <= 5
    "Vault" if my.countInDeck("Vault") < 2
    "Estate" if 0 < state.gainsToEndGame() <= 2
    "Gold"
    "Silver"
  ]
}


Code: [Select]


{
  name: 'DoubleVaultCaravan'
  requires: ['Vault', 'Caravan']
  gainPriority: (state, my) -> [
    "Province" if state.countInSupply("Gold") > 0
    "Duchy" if 0 < state.gainsToEndGame() <= 5
    "Vault" if my.countInDeck("Vault") < 2
    "Estate" if 0 < state.gainsToEndGame() <= 2
    "Gold"
    "Caravan"
    "Silver"
  ]
}
so I guess you remember correctly...
