Adam's tapping out to play Griselbrand; Julie 'vaults her Archon.

Adam: "Okay, the double enters-the-battlefield thing is right, but that's not how Archon of Justice works, Helvault doesn't make it die."

Julie: "I know!" (she's grinning)

Adam: o_O "Why are you exiling all your creatures?"

Julie: "Setting up for Akroma's Vengeance."

Adam: *counting Julie's lands* ... "****ing god. Go."

Julie: Armageddon XD

Best. Bluff. Ever. A Wispmare rescued the Archon and friends a couple turns later.

If you have any Problems with any Eldrazi Titans (i.e. Emrakul, the Aeons Torn ,Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre , Kozilek, Butcher of Truth), have Leyline of Anticipation ready with 10 lands (3 for entry and 7 seven for targeted creauture) and Helvualt yourself to safety (concerning Emrakul, the Aeons Torn Ulamog it has "protection from COLORED spells" (emphasised added) and last Iast I checked, Helvault is COLORLESS, y'all understand what I'm implying?). And in the event your opponent has promblems with you special vualt and tries to close it down, Gather Specimens, the Cloud Cover with Leyline of Anticipation combo, or Captain of the Mists should cause you to get some good Ideas.

I'd probably use this for Ball Lightning, Arc Runner,Spark Trooper, and of course the spark elementals. Then just blow it up for some serious Overrun.

So does this work with unearth creatures? If so this is great.

I mean I like it anyway because it means I can chump block with non-token weenies without losing them forever (ideally with ETB effects). Or exiling targets of removal before it resolves. And you can use it to save your favorite creature when you are about to play a wrath of God effect. Also, when you get enough mana this this is repeatable exile for your opponents creatures as well, and, since your opponent is interested in getting his fatties out again, he'll probably want to destroy the vault, unleashing your horde again as a nice consolation.

I think it's great. Good in white weenie in general and great for combo players. I think it's awesome with green mana-ramp too. Green doesn't often get unqualified removal. This will be a boon to the color just like steel hellkite was.

In the Avacyn Restored storyline, Liliana attacked the Helvault, and Thalia gathered her soldiers to defend it. Liliana paralyzed her army and would have killed them if Thalia didn't allow her to destroy the Helvault. Thalia grudgingly allowed it, and as a result we have Avacyn, Angel of Hope and Griselbrand in the world.

Am I the only one who sees the plot hole? Liliana had the power to kill an army, and she didn't. She had the power to destroy the Helvault, and she waited for Thalia to allow her. Why only one or the other? It seems there is something missing... maybe the scrapped Forbidden mechanic? I bet in early versions of the story Liliana used an enchantment like this on the Vault:

2BlackBlack Cruel Choice
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Permanent
Forbidden- If the controller of enchanted permanent declares any creatures as blockers, sacrifice enchanted permanent.
Although that seems pretty weak. I'm not a good card designer.

@Axelle: Whoops... (see all)

Whoever thought up the idea for this card is a genius!

To think you have the option of repeatable exile PLUS the option of loading in your own creatures PLUS the option of saving your own creatures if an opponent tries to get rid of them or take control, etc or if you are going to cast some form of mass removal. This card is great. So much potential.

Awesome artwork as well.

What if you played an ally deck, and scooped up some of your allies on turns you didn't need them? Then, a few turns later, you Reprocess it or something, all your allies come in and activate their abilities at once, and then swing for the win?
