I'd like to see a version of this with the ability costing 1 and itself costing 1 or 0.

It actually already was a modern revision of an even older workhorse back then.
But you're right, a revision of this card would still need some serious improvement not to be something to laugh at these days.

Not restricted to combat damage, and it's a great way to stop "When this creature damages..." abilities.

I had to do a double take when I seen this. For a split second I thought it Purple Haze from JJBA.

Wheee! A decent, forgotten old workhorse which could do with a modern revision. Actually, maybe one exists, and I'm completely forgetting about it...

It's decent, but Forcefield is better.

once you can pay 7, vengeful archon's ability is how this card should be. since its initial cost is so low though, it could be 
: Prevent the next X damage dealt to you or a creature you control.

Not bad. Would be nuts in limited, which is probably why it hasn't seen a reprint.

The only redeeming quality of this is that it doesn't tap.

Very mana hungry. I wouldnt dream of running it, but I can see it being used to give red decks a hard time in a strong ramp deck.
