I can see vrt being a morale booster for any team that purchases him, but is he worth 26 cards? That's pretty much a whole deck for one very sexy banner.
I wouldn't agree vrt is the Chuck Norris of elements, that is Antagon's title (and now that he left, we will never know if he would have lost or won). However, I can see great benefits for any team that manages to get vrt. But will it break even with the cost... *Dramatic Music*
