Putting one of these in a Bant deck is pretty fun.
What I like to do is have one of these out, along with a Trostani. I will then copy it with a Progenitor Mimic, then copy that Progenitor Mimic with another Progenitor Mimic.
As turns pass without any suitable response (mostly against control decks that missed the punch so to speak) you will see an army of VoR's that can easily give you MASSIVE board control the instant an opponent feels the need to counter one of your spells.
On top of the massive amounts of tokens you will receive, you will also gain life equal to the total toughnesses of the tokens you just got. Broken? Not really (because of mana curve required) but damn good considering it's in a limited format such as Standard.

Grand Abolisher outright said "No you can't cast spells on my turn" and had the added "Also your creatures, artifacts, and enchantments can't activate abilities either" and only saw play in certain aggro decks.
VoR has a punisher mechanic, which means that players will either:
A. Ignore it because they don't care about the tokens, in which case grats on your grizzly bears for GW
B. Not play instants because they can't deal with the tokens right now, in which case it's just Grand Abolisher
Granted, the death trigger is better than Abolisher's wider range of hate, but with the punisher mechanic it's certainly not significantly better than Grand Abolisher was and the tokens still die to Supreme Verdict. Also unless your board is really big, the token will not be bigger than a 3/3, in which case your 2/2 VoR became a 3/3 token, so grats on your GW haste-less strangleroot geist.
The only real reason why this card is still so expensive is that there's basically no supply at all. No one ... (see all)
