It's nice art but I have to question why they chose to reprint Vindicate as a judge foil for a second time. It'd be nice to see it in another promo form.
I wish they reprinted vindicate into standard, but I don't see that happening considering the power level and the ability to stone rain people is no small thing.

I'd almost guarantee that Vindicate with Sorin art was supposed to be in Sorin's deck from the Sorin vs Tibalt DD but Wizards decided it was too powerful (or more likely) too expensive to give out in that deck so they cut it at the last minute and used it for a Judge promo instead.
Surprised that Genesis wasn't a judge promo long ago.
I wish my 4/4s with haste and first strike that acted as Goblin Warchiefs were better and didn't die to instants and overshadowed all other 4 drops in the format. And that they had evasion too, and some way to dodge wrath effects.

You are correct sir, that is exactly what happened.
Genesis could have used new art though.

I suspect just to spite me since it'll cost an arm and a leg to get.
People like old foils quite well and Genesis is one. maybe you lose 5% as judge foils eventually fill the market, but as time goes on, it would recover. I wouldnt worry about it way too much
That Vindicate art is bad. It's also a bad choice considering it's already been done with better art to boot. Genesis is cool though and should fetch a high price.
When I think about it, its actually quite a decent flavor to the last judge vindicate, the whole tying in convictions to vindication and making you think a little. I really cannot for the life of me understand what this art and flavor text has to do with 'vindicate', though.

Eh ...
Art is fine. I honestly wish they had done it with the old border though. They need to do more old border judge promos =\

Hey, lolis with katanas are awesome, and I don't care about their home country.
Love that vindicate. Just wish it had ended up in the dual deck, innistrad, ravnica, or wherever it was originally planned for so I wouldn't have to pay $100 for it.
Wow. That Vindicate just needs to be printed for Standard...or go back to Innistrad block and print it. Nice art.

As an abstraction made real, it can take whatever shape it needs to without having to gain additional types.

That Vindicate is Judge promo only ;_; That Sorin art + quote is too sexy ;_;
