Because typewithme is down for me, i made several test with my own crusader decks.
But first, when  uses the first deck what Root posted, i think we don't has too many chance. I only won 1 match from ~15.

Other test results:
With this (i know, we don't has some cards from this in our vault, i just want to probe out  with crusaders. i don't think that would be effective...):

The Event Card is not so good for us this time
Gl Coin!

[coinich]

Can we get enough Crusaders to run a Vader Sader?

[RootRanger]

Not really. At best, we can have 3 crusaders and 3 daggers or 4 crusaders and 2 daggers.

[kirchj33]

Wow.  Another poor event card for us and unfavorable match-up considering our current vault situation. Its not that the event card is bad for us per say, its just fairly worthless considering our vault situation.  The event card; however, is amazing for a team like UW.

At any rate, its looks to me like (given our current vault situation) we have options that are limited to a mediocre air duo, a great discord duo that will be ineffective, a half-assed poison deck, a half-assed vader sader, or a mono light.

It seems to me that it would still be favorable to run the discord deck vs. UW.

Now before you snicker, listen to my reasons:

1.  AM is still a very strong card if not expected.  People still like to use dragons against us and I don't see the genius strategists over at UW analyzing our vault and determining this is a poor strategy.

2.  The deck still has a fairly good rush without discord operating in its capacity.  We would still need to bring discord for the damage it offers and to get some damage from our saders.  We could consider dropping the saders and discords for 3 pillars + dragon + miracle.  I think we would have enough to make those changes?  The hope would be then, that we have enough healing to beat UW in this way.

3.  The deck gives us the best chance to win, moving forward.  Its the only solid deck we have left in our vault imho.  If we are planning to go on a 3 or 4 game winning streak, bringing another deck is not the choice.  It would be better to bring this one and adapt to the opponent.

*Note - we could even make use of the event card by bringing both saders & discords + having the option to change to the adjusted build mentioned above.  I could test these later this evening after going to church/library/gym today.

1.) Antimatter is ineffective against most of UW's decks. They have quints, RTs, low-attack creatures, and ways of killing their own antimattered creatures.

2.) Crusader + EE does more damage than Crusader + Discord. we also have light dragons for damage.

3.) We have a 50% chance to get a bye the next round. Also, Light/Air isn't a bad duo. Most teams don't have anything that can survive 7 damage from an EE and shockwave.

I've been trying different types of decks with what we have available.  The problem is:

We have to beat underworld or else we are done.Everything effective against other teams isn't against UW, or that is, less so.

I haven't been able to find anything better than the light-air we have now... I'll keep testing, but that is what it looks like is our best hope.
