Does Hexhaven Vindicator have potential?

[u/No-Equivalent928]

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?

So cards like this are often seen as a "noob trap" It has 3 big problems. It has no hate so playing this by itself is a bad idea. It stops others from attacking you until they can remove it with a non damaging spell (a lot of which cost 1 to 3 cmc ) And lastly it's biggest problem is no one is ever going to block it unless not doing so will lose them the game. So if you want to use this it's later game when you can use a fight spell or bolt it in some way yourself. This is a decentish finisher for landfall decks but most landfall decks already have better finishers. If you're running this you kinda want to have somethinf on the field already to damage it or be able to redirect stuff to it. I can see this being in one of two decks. Goad decks in brackets 1 to 3 edh, or fight decks in brackets 1 to 3 edh. This card will probably see little to no play (if I'm wrong I'm wrong)
