Premodern archetypes that play Vindicate
- Deadguy Ale: The universal answer. Three mana to destroy any permanent means no card in the format is truly safe, and against a stretched mana base it turns into the second half of a Wasteland plan.
- Dromar Control: Unconditional destruction of any permanent: the only answer to Solitary Confinement, Oath of Druids, Standstill, Humility, Pernicious Deed or Cabal Coffers, and a mana-denial plan when needed.
