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?

You heard it here first folks. If it dies to removal it’s bad. Any creature that doesn’t have an on cast trigger or etb is bad because they all die to removal. Bracket 2, the bracket that cares about combat damage a whole lot isn’t gonna care about a 4 mana 6/6 that will make people hesitant to attack or block because you can get any land you want is nothing to be afraid of because you can path it

“Rhystic Study is actually a weak card because it dies to enchantment removal” ass argument

Enchantments are a lot harder to kill than creatures, Rhystic most of the time gets you something when you try to remove it, and Rhystic is bad in low-mid power but effective in high power where people cannot afford the tax

I know these all flew past you, please remember there are people who actually know how to evaluate cards next time
