# Defiant Vanguard Defiant Vanguard represents a straightforward creature from Nemesis's uncommon slot. Collectors appreciate it as a functional piece of the set's limited environment rather than a format staple or iconic card. The card appeals primarily to set completionists and players who draft or cube the block. The foil variant exists but holds minimal premium value compared to the nonfoil version, as the card lacks the demand that drives foil prices upward. Neither version commands significant collector attention. Defiant Vanguard matters most to those systematically collecting Nemesis or building comprehensive Magic collections, where it fills its designated role without distinction.
