Huh... you make a very good point here. When the bottom 4 sets rotate out soon, the meta will drastically change and Vanguards will likely be seen more and more in matches as the months move forward. In the new standard, Vanguards will be very powerful.
Oktagon did not state that vanguards were a one set mechanic... so we may be seeing more of them in the future.

Out of curiosity, do you have any other Bolas in your inventory of PW?I think the first is alright, draw cards and exile a card from the opponent’s hand is usable.His second, killing an opponent’s creature is ok, but Bolas 1 does it cheaper.the third I supposed is intended to be a coup de grace, but I it seems way to situational for me to want to kill him in this fashion.the whole package is rather overpriced, maybe not for you.
