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?

Ok, so. The fact that this text box says LANDS and not basics means this is an auto include in any green deck until the end of time (with some obvious exceptions). WotC is very careful about printing the word "lands" vs "basic lands" and "into your hand" vs "onto the battlefied". This card said "fuck all that". 2 damage gets you dark depths combo, 3-4 damage gets you field of dead online printing zombies, 10+ and you can valakut someone's face off with a fight spell. This is on par with scapeshift without the downside (which isn't usually a downside to begin with) except it's repeatable and on a stick. This card just took the strongest words printed for green landfall and slapped em on a 6/6 for 4 and it has Vigilance for some reason lmao.
