Don't get me wrong, Batterskull+ Idenity Nemesis = vigilant unblockable, indestructible, hexproof, and overall good guy. It'll eventually take cliques spot for me, given my metagame has some aggro decks and I use baleful strix to deal with delver.
Remember we've had access to elspeth, which functionally does the same thing. Although it cost one more, it's a that's resistant to removal planeswalker that can block as much as it wants in the form of 1/1 tokens and evasion/unblockability in making 4/4 flyers.
Yet most of us don't run it.
Anyways, they're going in my merfolk deck first.
