I may just start dancing about this reprint like Taylor in the OP's avatar. This is one of the few cards from this set I don't actually have. BTW, no video evidence will exist of me dancing like that if I do actually start dancing.

RIP Batman guy. I hope somebody picks up the slack now that you are gone. Sick children need their Batman.
Actually the one with the old Judge Art is the vastly more expensive version (and I'm sure someone out there is complaining about the art choice once again), but I'm okay with this art. If anything, the judge foil with this art wasn't that expensive to begin with and now with this printing, I'm almost running out of reasons not to get a foil one for EDH already.
Hell yeah, a great removal spell for limited and a great reprint for Commander/Legacy purposes. I am pleased by this.
Less so for Commander now than a couple years ago now that Anguished Unmaking and Utter End exist. I'm not sure where Vindicate fits given those two, but I'm glad to see it reprinted regardless.
I like the art, but I'll miss people asking why there's a TIE Fighter on my removal spell.

I think it still fits. Unmaking has a trade off for the exile clause. While it is relevant, 3 life can be steep.
But we got Anguished Unmaking. You had to know 3cmc land destruction wasn't going to be a thing in Standard anytime soon. Except for the land destruction angle, AU is comparable. The 3 lifeloss versus instant speed and exile is mostly a wash.
Niiice. If it gets cheap enough I'll probably cut Utter End from my BW Commander decks and run this alongside Anguished Unmaking since it hits lands. When it comes to the art choice...well, I'm not sure. I think all three of the Vindicate arts are pretty epic. I have nostalgia for the original art with the Tie Fighter, but you've gotta love Sorin! The only problem I have is the Sorin art feels far less epic compared to the other two arts with the giant explosions

Likewise, exploding sword man was great. It had way better flavor text too. Sorin being old and killing things is practically a cliche at this point.
