When Vigor leaves play do the counters on other creatures also leave?

Of all the things that you could ever need in a green deck... This is one of them. It's not even a legendary creature! That means you can pull two out of your deck and be indestructible. Damage dealt? Nope, twice the counters. Simply awesome.

Awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is my favorite all-time card! And all you guys who write and complain about it being to powerful and how wizards is ruining the game ever heard of exile? And just because it goes back into the deck dosen't mean your openent will draw it. It dosen't ruin the game it forces your openent to use more dill spells instead of creatures. then again when ever I play this card my openents just surrender.

Vigor + Rockslide Elemental and/or Algae Gharial + Save twister = One happy deck.

The card does have some pitfalls. 3 green mana. And any time you pull out something this awesome it has a big fat target on its head.

This card is just epically powerful. Really I am writing this review though to point out to the harry guy (looks like it is the second review) that you can only have 4 duplicates of any card in a deck.

there seems to be a complete lack of faith in big monsters staying alive...we call it canopy cover...not only will it be untargetable but it will also be only blockable by flyers. Picture a 6/6 untargetable monster who can't be blocked by lets see...unother freaking big green creature who could dream if killing it...oh wait...damage makes it bigger...your oppenent is then forced to blow a Day of Judgment like 5-6 turn. Oh wait he goes right back and the fact that im green...possible elves...means i've got plenty of green creatures to go around.

Absolutely amazing. Could build a pretty decent deck around this and Empyrial Archangel. Ultimate win.

It is a great card to have and it does take a lot of strategy to play it and keep it in the feild. I agree totally with the second reveiw of /harry about elf decks. I play the X-box 360 version of magic and the elf deck is all but unbeatable on there. Vigor is an amazing card but doesnt help with forest walk elves.

I run 3 of these in a casual elemental deck, so it's funny watching my friends cry when I use a smokebraider or 2 to drop a Vigor on turn 3 or 4. Awesome creature.

Wow, just think if you have some big guys on the table and you have this and General's Regalia. Burn decks would be pretty funny to fight, use General's Regalia to continually redirect damage onto one of your creatures from all the damage spells or with a normal deck, block with all your creatures and send all the damage derictely on one creature. It ends up being a very nice if not annoying combo.

A definate 5 for this sadly overpowered card, IMO its better then any two of its four sibling cards. But whoever plans to get this monster in play is gonna have work hard to keep it there cuz as soon as any1 finds out this card is in your deck, graveyard, hand or on the bord itll be a living target. But if you build around this, lets say 4 of these, 4 generals kabuto for protecting them, whatever card you fancy thatll dig that combo out of your deck at the right time if youre struck by bad luck, and a horde of weenies to sacrafice until your ready and after that pump him, youll win.

Give this thing shroud, then drop purity. Oops. I win. And, if you're playing extended use priveleged position, and for 17 mana you win. Woot. This thing will be an absolute pain, sine I bet you could use it in an agro/midrange deck to keep the pace of the deck way too fast for the whole game. Have to try that.

Wow, this card is completely overpowered...That's good though. Combo this with Ashling and it's just crazy. If you have two Vigors out when you use Ashling, then instead of swinging for minimum 4 you're hitting your opponent for at least 20 damage. Plus you can cast the Vigor earlier with Smokebraiders, and it has trample, AND it goes back to your library. This card is crazy good....

I give it 5 on power, obviously, but he really is unbalanced. with morningtide's pyroclast consuls, every time your top card is elemental or shaman, all your dudes get +2/+2. ashling can simply clear the field except for your side (minus vigor, unless you have 2), then you can go nuts with your obscenely powerful creatures. Vigor is the kind of creature people build decks around, and after i locate a pair of these, I will. it doesnt matter if you kill it, you can harbinger for it, then play it again.

Wizards, I love this little dude, but making something this powerful is just silly. 5 for fun to play, 3 for playing against.
i dont think i have seen such a huge target on the field since elvish piper.

This is a really great card and while i do agree that it is a little too powerful I think it just pushes people to have more balanced decks with many different options (creature killing, counter spells, direct d, etc..)

A 6/6 with trample for 6 mana can go back to your deck when destroyed and all other creatures immune to damage is godly. use him let an opponent counter him shuffle him back and use primal command to get him back.

This is the greatest card in Lorowyn. This is a great card for any deck with Green cards in it, yet when playing against a burn deck or something of that nature you should have a few Whispersilk Cloaks in your deck so you opponent wont be able to kill it.

Yes this guy is crazy, 6/6 trample for 6 mana is great, the library abillity makes him cool, and the +1/+1 counter just makes him insane, but always remember that he's not impossible to kill... Terror, Swords to Plowshares, Provoke, Wrath of God, Deathtouch, Counter... theres simply no end to the possibilities of killing this guy... like every other guy... but still 5 stars! :) Oh and the art is just awesome...

This card is pretty amazing, but like other people said it can die, but at the same time, you shuffle that bad boy back into the library which rocks.

nice card i think it definatly deserves a five... if your really having that much trouble man you could always use spells like nameless inversion of wrath of god. Red decks would probably have the most trouble with this. As for destroy target non elf card that is the same as faerie trickery, "counter target non faerie spell"

Quite possibly the single most amusing review I've ever read on here, Harry. Heh..very nice. As far as the card is concerned, it's disgustingly powerful. I'm sure I'll put it to sound use just like any other intelligent player but in truth it's no more difficult to destroy than any other creature out there. All part of the game, my friend.

A 6/6 creature for 6 mana with trample and an ability to go back to your deck when destroyed is great but giving this card an ability to make all of your creature immune to damage is simply crazy. This card makes Phytohydra out of all of your creatures. Definitely 5 stars as it will make your opponents' heads hurt when they see you play this.

I think Vigor rocks, but I have a question...If you have 2 Vigors in play, do they protect each other from damage? The card says "a creature other than Vigor", but does that refer to only that specific Vigor, or to any Vigor you control? Where in the rules can I find the answer? Anyone? Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?...Bueller?...

EDIT: Yes they do!

Overall it's a very solid creature, being a 6/6 body for 6. The three mana commitment to green in its cost isn't too bad, especially in a casual mono-green deck, and with such a deck it's not uncommon to have one out on turn three. Turn one Joroga Treespeaker, turn two level it, put down two one-mana producing elves, or Wild Growth, or any combination; you're playing green, you'll figure it out. Turn three Vigor, and start the smack down. At worst he gets removed, and your opponents just spent a spell and wasted some of their possible mana on turn three or four, depending on if you played first or not. At that point, any other fatty will do. A fantastic move with this is to let your opponent attack, declare blockers to give your creatures maximum damage, then tap out to play a card called Chord of Calling, which will bring Vigor straight into play from your deck. Now your creatures, which your opponent assumed would be wiped, are all getting pumped and they may have tapped out; in addition, Vigor would also be able to attack. It's hypothetical, but happens quite frequently against agro-builds when I've run green.

I don't get the hate. Sure, it's a great card, but too vulnerable for its cost. A simple Terror will get rid of it temporarily, and if you want a more permanent solution use something like Journey to Nowhere (or the more versatile sibling of it, Oblivion Ring). I still want a playset of them, even with its faults.

Here's a cool combo by the way: Vigor + Pestilence (+ Purity if you feel like it). I'll let you figure that one out yourselves ;)

It is pretty good, I don't know if I would play it though because the mana cost is a little prohibitive in a multi color deck. And you guys do understand that the goes back to library when it dies is a drawback, right? Wizards put that on the incarnations so you couldn't dump them in the graveyard and bring them back easily, or play them in a non green deck.

and this is, in my opinion the problem with magic these days. I once new a guy who played the dragon ball Z card game. the problem? the cards continuously got more and more powerfull as time went on so that a few months after one set came out, the cards you had been playing with were uselessly underpowered. this meant people had to continually buy new cards to keep themselves competetive. I told him, "part of why I play magic is because it doesn't do that, new sets bring in new abilities so that you can combine them with old cards in new and interesting ways, but the old cards aren't outdated. that's just a marketing scheme to keep you buying." well. look at that, looks like magic is taking a page out of DBZ's book. I'm dissapointed in the sudden spike of power in the last few sets. it looks to me like wizards is trying to force us to buy new cards by outdating our old stuff. good marketing, bad gaming

It's a gewd card, Although i refuse to run it. It really doesn't help my elf deck, i want to keep things mana 5 and lower. But its pretty easy to kill with goblin decks and elf decks. I like to use Lys Allana Scarblade, Against it, or Eyeblight End. My friend Likes to Fodder Launch it, then ping it with anything else. i havn,'t seen much trouble gettin' rid of it, but over-all great card.

Cards like this become kill it or you lose. What happened to the decks that pull out interesting unexpected combos to win? A good elf deck filled with wellwishers, impervious perfects, etc. needs a spacific deck designed to kill it. I know there are plenty of cards that can kill a basic green creature, but I wish Wizards would stop making cards like this, and bring the game back towards strategy.

Are you freakin kidding me!? I'm sooo tired of playing against green elf decks and this just makes it 10x's worse. I can't attack and I can't block. Why doesn't the card just say tap 6 mana you win. That's it!! I'm gonna make a new deck. Ten deathgrips, 10 damnations, 10 wraths of god, and 10 nevinyral's discs, and 20 mana. I might not win but at least I'll take down as many elves as I can. And what the hecks with the new black "terror" card, destroy target non-elf creature!? Who the heck died and made the Elves King? Why don't you just combine this crap with Garruck Wildspeaker and give all your crappy 1/1 elves +3/+3 and trample while you're at it. This is ridiculous!! About as annoying as Darksteel Collosus. Who's big idea was it to make an indestructible 11/11 trample? I mean if at least it had a condition that you had to hard cast it, I wouldn't mind, but no the mighty Green wizard can summon A collosus for 1 measley green mana with an Elvish Piper. Well I'll tell you what. I'm gonna make my own Black card. "ELF EATER" Tap to destroy all elves in play and all elves in all libraries and all graveyards and all hands. Tear all of those elf cards up and Elf eater gets +5/+5 for each piece of elf card made this way. Any player may eat an elf card and gain 1 life. Flavor text: "Choke on em' "--Harry.
