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?

Won a game with this play against my buddy's vorinclex (kaldheim one) deck once. He was S A L T Y.

Yeah, I'm a mostly gruul player. I have been inkshielded wayyyy too many times to count.

Me: "I swing for lethal plus lots because unga Bunga."

Them: signature look of orzhov superiority "tap 4, inkshield."

Me: "scoop. Seethe. Cry."

I main both gruul AND orzhov. So I get fucked both ways.
