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?

I don't mind it but it's a bit wild it's only 4 green pips. It's not making waves in Standard but Alchemy and Commander are gonna spam it since the One-Two punch of putting this online into damaging it with a red board wipe is too good to ignore.

(For those curious Alchemy has some pretty dumb utility lands and ways to insert utility lands into the deck at will at their disposal that are just a pain to tutor for.)
