For anyone saying that Vindicate was pulled from SvT:DD for being too powerful, have you even played those decks? Sorin has a win rate of something like 85-90% in the games I've played. I sat down with someone who had never played Magic before and still lost using Tibalt's deck. Those decks aren't very balanced. It's to the point where my friend and I won't play them anymore because someone has to be stuck with Tibalt's deck and nobody wants that.
I believe it really depends on the single matches. Me and my friend exchanged the decks back and forth and Tibalt actually won most of the time (well, about six or seven times out of ten).
The thing is, with such many 1 and 2 of, games can be quite different. I believe they're actually balanced.
Pretty much this. The only games I lost with Tibalt's deck were the ones where I actually drew him.
I have confirmation from another judge I know that these are real don't know if they are confirmed real yet but just thought I would help out.

"On top of that, if you ever manage to T2 Lead the Stampede, fill your hand, and pitch two Vengevines on your cleanup phase, the sky rains kittens wearing tophats, each carrying a sock full of quarters. True story."
Vindicate can destroy lands, though, so I doubt they let it enter the Standard or Modern card pool...
Stone Rain/Fulminator Mage are already in Modern. It's Standard they'd really be concerned about. I could see it getting in via a Modern Masters 2 reprint or some other such workaround.

The Mage only destroys non-basic lands, though. Right now, in the Modern card pool, at 3CC you have Rain of Tears, Stone Rain and Molten Rain (plus Boom//Bust). All the other LD spells are conditional (either target non-basic or specific lands). An extra unconditional 3CC land destruction spell (especially one that can answer any permanent) could really push dedicated LD over the edge in Modern.

likely not till after the next pro tour. PT are usually the first place these come out.
Wouldn't be surprised if the Vindicate was a special mailing or something, since it was already a Judge promo. But who knows.
A comic about the world's most addictive game, Magic: The Gathering.
That would be as hilarious as getting a Stoneforge Mystic event deck during its time in standard.
How much are they going to go for? The other Judge Promo version is at a low of around 70$ on TCG
MUST BE REAL
