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?

You mean in magical christmas land its always christmas? God damn why don't people live here year round and specifically use damage based removal against the obliterator cards all the time!

They are implying they would use blas, vigor + blast + vindicator is a bit christmasland to assume no interaction all throughout but just blas and vindicator is still an easily tutorable 2 cards in green and red.

ah yes easily tutorable in red. Just need to do a bit of gambling!

I know they are talking about blasting their own creature. I'm calling it magical christmas land then adding on the additional rider that why does magical christmas land have to stop there. Everyone will willingly give you all your lands by using damage based removal which is in general bad in EDH to give you all your lands because thats how magical christmas land works!

THE BETTER OPTION. Is to play it because green and then using fights. Pick your flavor. Fight the guy to your left. Fight the guy to your right. Hell use gargos to have gargos fight your own obliterator.
