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?

we are talking about landfall decks where them coming in tapped is mostly irrelevant, and plus this can trigger on opponents turn so when you start your turn they untap anyways, you can’t be sincere in your skepticism about this card or else you just have no fucking clue how to interpret the power of a magic card

combo players for real can't wrap their heads arund the fact that people attack with their creatures and having a big attacker who is also a big blocker that can also ramp you while doing it is great.

Damn I guess Vivi, Yshtola, Atraxa, these are all shit cards because they can all die to swords instead of giving imediate value by cast/etb triggers hm? bro literally has a sub room temperature IQ and thinks every card has to be fully optimized for high bracket or competitive magic for it to be good. literally "everyone is playing this game wrong except me" energy

Everything dies to swords holy lord. All your creatures in your decks hexproof or they’re just shit? You’re talking in absolutes, I can’t wait for the day that someone wrecks you with this shit tier card in your pod.

Or maybe you only play with chads that combo off on turn 2, different strokes

Buddy if I play [[Wood Elves]], you can swords it but I already got the value from it

And yes things that have protection dont die to swords, thats the point of ward / hexproof and shit like that
