I don't have a pic yet, but friends from Nationals confirmed this for me. It has alternate art obviously. Anywho, discuss and as soon as I get a pic, I'll post one up for you ladies and gentlemen.
Well on the plus, most of these Judge Promos drop in price pretty dramatically once they've been around. Sol Ring was 80$ this time last year... now you can ebay it pretty easily for under 25$. I definitely want this though, can't wait to see the art!
Why, oh why I traded my Vindicate on random Patron from Kamigawa? Why, oh why there's no Apocalypse packs or money for a single? Why, oh why I'm not a judge? T___T
I've also seen the card and the artwork, having been at Nationals on Saturday and spoken to some Asian dude who showed me pictures of uncut sheets of foil cards from sets that never had foil cards on his cell phone. Quite odd, but I think this one guy single-handedly introduced this judge promo Vindicate to everybody there. He was a nice guy actually, a little snobby perhaps, and definitely way too much of a low-baller to trade with, but okay in my book.
The artwork is decent but not as memorable as the original.

Vindicate has needed new art since forever!
the card is a classic yet it looks like the art is a reject from a Star Wars TCG (yeah, i know it's the Weatherlight, but c'mon!)
i may have to spend the dough to procure this.
well if you cant tell im very jealous of the judge promo
Judge foils aren't exactly impossible to get if you really want one. I envy the "Free booster box" thing they get at prereleases, etc, myself...
In fact, I was considering getting the Judge foil for Negator... One of my old favorites. Only $12. Considering the non foil one is around $7ish, that's not too bad.
I'd love to see the new art. Invasion block, the same victim like Rath block and others, had too many "Storyboard" art, that tended to suck. The art on Vindicate was well done, but not interesting at all.
Sounds great. What a sweet card Vindicate is. I doubt I'll ever own, trade, or even see this promo though. Cept on eBay but I won't be touchin' that overpriced stuff.
Nats was 4 days (Thurs through sun) of at least 10 hour days for every judge involved. Don't rip judges for getting what (for most at least) barely covers the cost of attending the event
Having said that, I didn't see the vindicate, but I can confirm that no judge received one as far as I know.
And the decree is just Hawtness.

Just a random thought, while we're waiting for a scan:
What's up with Vindicate's name? Destroying a permanent somehow removes it from blame? I find even the storyline link tenuous - how is Gerrard "vindicated" when he sacrifices himself for the Legacy? Did he commit some sort of crime for which he must be pardoned? I don't get it.
Anyway, here's hoping for awesome art befitting this beautiful (if confusing) card.
It's best not to peer too closely at Invasion block. A lot of people have fond memories of it, as it's a fun block with a lot of cool cards and a theme that everyone likes (multicolor), but the flavor and theme and storyline were kind of... well, dumb.
