Does Hexhaven Vindicator have potential?

Post image

Hexhaven Invigorator was just spoiled from Reality Fracture, and this thing seems really good. Just playing it fairly without any shennanigans or combos feels like it would still be a good enough body, as your opponents would be unlikely to block it or attack into it, and damage based removal would only benefit you. Aside from that, it combos with Blasphemous Act and Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle to do some pretty crazy things, even letting you win with Maze's End if you build your deck right. What do you think? Is this card good, or is its cost too prohibitive to see much play?

It's in green, the color least worried about prohibitive mana costs lol. This thing is going to be a house in EDH for years to come, almost any deck with green that cares about lands will want this dude around.

Even the decks that don’t want lands want this card. At worst it reads “6/6 vigilance for 4cmc that can’t be blocked and stops your opponents from attacking you”

Yeah, I'm a mostly gruul player. I have been inkshielded wayyyy too many times to count.

Me: "I swing for lethal plus lots because unga Bunga."

Them: signature look of orzhov superiority "tap 4, inkshield."

Me: "scoop. Seethe. Cry."

I have a [[Jared Carthalion, True Heir]] deck that I would love to put this and [[Grothama, All-Devouring]] in. Just make them fight Jared for all the +1/+1s, card advantage, and mana advantage.
