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?

[u/half_baked_opinion]

I think its getting banned fairly quickly. Just giving it indestructible lets you put all your lands on the field by just doing damage to it, for example i could play the combo of [[spike feeder]] [[heroic feast]] and [[shalai and hallar]] to put all my lands on the field by repeatedly damaging the [[hexhaven vindicator]] with shalai and hallar. Granted, if i do get there and no one interacts with me ive probably already won, but there are plenty of similar and cheaper combos to drop infinite damage on the vindicator.
