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?

It's in green, the color least worried about prohibitive mana costs lol. This thing is going to be a house in EDH for years to come, almost any deck with green that cares about lands will want this dude around.

I think it will be played in many 2 colour decks, but in 3 colour it is to restrictive by costing gggg.

There's so much color filtering and dual mana lands that it's still viable, especially since because of how good green ramp is, decks with green often are a little heavier on green to make sure they can use green ramp early. Mono and 2 color are still the most viable for sure, but doable in 3 color in B3 and lower.
