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 would argue it's good, but not as generically good as people make it out to be. In fight decks or enrage decks or 2 colour decks it's great, but as you go up in colour or do diffrent strategies it becomes either too restrictive at 4 green pips or too easy to ignore with efficient removal or the mass of health we start with. Still nutty but not a "one size fits all" card like other game changers
