It has wall hate because walls were a lot more common back in the day, and they can't reprint it and just remove the ability now that walls have been split from Defender. Also, the wall hate has never, ever been the point of Juggernaut, just an added flavor bonus. This was a card designed from the "top down" to represent a siege engine (strong but fragile, aggressive, can't be stopped by fortifications). The point of the artifact is the 4cmc 5/3 body. The wall hate is just added flavor.

5/3 for four is pretty nice in Blue, if you need a beater.

It's not a trump card, its an efficient beater.

I was playing someone in limited, and he played Juggernaut. Being the only thing on the field worth controlling, I played Mind Control on it. My opponent yells "CHARLES NOOO"
That was the end of all silence in the room XD

I didn't like the art at first, but it is growing on me.
Perhaps the flavour text should have been changed to "four hours" as an allusion to the number of turns it takes for this guy to kill a player unopposed. Three does roll off the tongue easier though.......

a 5/3 for 4 colorless(!) mana is very good in limited. the other abilities make this just more awesome.

New art is terrible, but the flavor text is pretty good.
Oh, the card itself? Meh, outdated.

This guy is up there in Elspeth vs Tezzeret. But... why?
I'm not much of a follower of recent Magic, but I do remember clearly Walls being wiped out to give Defender its place. Now, back to walls? Or are Defenders also considered Walls?
There might be a few walls now and then, but cards with the Wall subtype aren't really common, and not present at all in Duel Decks. It's a shame this card isn't useful at all, or at least, as a wall-piercing machine.
Have I missed something?
