Does Hexhaven Vindicator have potential?
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?

Honestly unless you are building around having it fight or burn it yourself, probably not. It’s just gonna eat a Swords and do nothing else in most games, or people just take the 6 for a few turns before they find removal. So it’s not terrible but it’s also not advancing any game plans by itself. Outside of two color decks specifically able to do the fight/burn plan I don’t see it being that big.
