VaultWarrior is a series of high-level KeyForge tournaments focusing on the current set and offering cash prizes. All VaultWarrior events are held in the Archon format. There are three tiers of VaultWarrior tournaments: Tryouts, Qualifiers, and the VaultWarrior Championship. Tryouts are local events that allow players to win unique physical prizes and to earn a free seat to a future Qualifier event. Players participating in Tryouts must use decks from the most recent KeyForge set. Qualifiers, on the other hand, require players to bring decks from each of the three most recent sets. Qualifiers are three-day events that offer enticing cash prizes and invitations to the upcoming VaultWarrior Championship. The winner of each Qualifier in 2020 will take home $10,000.

VaultWarrior is an upcoming series of high-level KeyForge tournaments focusing on the current set and offering cash prizes. All VaultWarrior events will be played in the Archon format.
===VaultWarrior Tryouts===
These are local events, run by stores or tournament organizers, where players can win a free seat at an upcoming VaultWarrior Qualifier event, as well as unique physical prizes. All events will be current set Archon, using the Adaptive, Triad or Solo Best of 3 variant.
===VaultWarrior Qualifiers===
Starting in March 2020, ten VaultWarrior Qualifier three-day events will be held across the world throughout the year, each offering a $10,000 prize pool. These events are open to all players who either earn a free seat through Tryouts or pay the entry fee. The Top 32 players from each of these VaultWarrior Qualifiers will earn cash prizes, as well as invitations to the VaultWarrior Championship. For these events, players will need to bring decks from the most recent three sets.


Day 1 will be played using the Adaptive, Triad or Solo Best of 3 variant and a deck from the current set. On Day 2, players will bring one deck from each of the two previous sets, using "2 Deck Elimination," a new sub-variant where each player chooses one (of two) decks from their opponent to play against; the other deck is eliminated from that round. The match is then played using the Adaptive, Solo Best of 3, or Reversal variant. Players who have the highest combined score from Day 1 and Day 2 will go on to compete on Day 3, choosing a deck to use from Day 1 or Day 2.
The VaultWarrior Championship is an invitation-only event held in the Archon Adaptive variant using decks from the most recent set. Players can earn an invite to the Championship by ranking top 32 or better in a Qualifier or through the Last Chance Qualifier immediately beforehand. The VaultWarrior Championship offers the largest prize pool of all events in the series, with a total of $25,000 awarded to the winner and an additional $75,000 distributed to top performing players.
===VaultWarrior Championship===
The VaultWarrior Championship is an invite-only multi-day event held in Miami, FL with a $100,000 prize pool. The format is current set Archon Adaptive and the Top 32 players receive cash prizes. Last Chance Qualifier events (also Archon Adaptive) will be held in the days leading up to the VaultWarrior Championship, as well as a Vault Tour (Sealed Solo) running alongside the main event. Two Last Chance Qualifiers will be held each day for the opening two days of the event, with each having five rounds and all players winning four rounds or more earning a seat at the VaultWarrior Championship.
