Board sweepers have been keeping Timmy in check since Alpha.

The lack of anti-regeneration in this card just saved me recently.
I was playing G/W and had a Birds of Paradise, a Strangleroot Geist (with a +1/+1 counter on it), and most importantly, a Thrun, The Last Troll. The other guy had 7 more life than me and like 8 creatures out including a couple fatties.
I had DOJ in my hand just waiting for the perfect moment, and it came up. I killed all his creatures and regenerated my troll. He drew nothing relevant in the next turn and I drew an Angelic Destiny. It was over two turns later.

I hate seeing this from across the table. Lately, I have seen the scenario where they will first call Batterskull back to their hand, then use this, then put Batterskull back on the field.
This is the card that gives White decks late-game staying power if most of their weenies have been dispatched. 5/5 for usability, but damn, do I hate seeing my opponent play it =/

Combo with Avacyn, Angel of Hope. You get to keep your creatures, and then attack. Awesome, utterly evil, and effective. Not to mention a little nugget of flavor.

Well, if you have six mana open you could Wrap in Vigor all your creatures. Seems like a good enough finisher to me - keep all your creatures, but everything else dies? Pretty one-sided judgement, there.

@Xineombine
"An indestructible permanent can't be destroyed, but it can still be sacrificed, exiled, put into a graveyard, and so on."
It's a static ability, destroy effects just don't do anything.
"Protection from everything" means the following: -- Progenitus can't be blocked. -- Progenitus can't be enchanted or equipped. -- Progenitus can't be the target of spells or abilities. -- All damage that would be dealt to Progenitus is prevented.
Progenitus can still be affected by effects that don't target it or deal damage to it (such as Wrath of God).
Both cards totally explain how they work.
Black Sun's Zenith would work though, if you did it for enough. Any creature with zero toughness is put into it's owners graveyard as a state based effect.

This card's artist is Vincent Proce, 1 letter off from Vincent Price. And it makes sense on this card.

Now a bit outclassed by Supreme Verdict, the reason being that I've never cast a DoJ without spending {U} to cast it, which makes these two cards the same in my decks, and this one strictly better.

Anyone saying this is strictly worse than Wrath of God has clearly never played it with Wrap in Vigor

This card seems most appropriately played next to Zombie Apocalypse
