Meh, plenty of ways to die if you lose a MR check. Plenty of ways without that to. By design dominions has lots of ways to stop units from being practically unkillable. You could complain about how unfair it is that your pretender got magic dueled or you can just realize that's the risk of taking a low astral guy. VotD is the same thing IMO, just one of the many things you may run into that'll bite you if you've got too many eggs in one basket. VotD starts looking a lot less OP when you think about the fact that its a lot easier to get a mage who can teleport in and spam 3-4 soul slays before returning - which is way more effective in most situations and costs about the same pearls.
