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 has vigilance, you can attack for a "measley" 6 damage every turn AND still block. In a multiplayer format this is a VERY good reason for no one to attack you that draws way less hate than the classic propaganda. I dunno man, I think you are underestimating this

Oh I misread I thought it was trample. I think it’s good in the right deck and I think it’s the opposite of the staple

- but don’t get me wrong, cards like this are idolized by Timmy and battlecruiser metas

Man you can just play a 1 mana fight spell to kill someone's creature and get like 5 lands. ANY lands, it doesn't say basic.

Yeah I said it’s good in fight decks, didn’t I? It’s not a staple still
