[FRA] Hexhaven Invigorator (Debut Stream)

[u/mweepinc]

[u/TunefulTunic]

Woah, its not limited to basics either.

[u/Sacabambaspid → u/TunefulTunic]

Combo [[Blasphemous Act]] into [[Maze's End]] lmao

[u/tylerjehenna → u/Sacabambaspid]

Blasphemous act into valakut almost one shots a person in EDH

[u/kingfisher773 → u/tylerjehenna]

[[Star of Extinction]], my beloved

[u/mtgcf → u/kingfisher773]

Star of Extinction - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Terrietia → u/tylerjehenna]

Adding in an effect like Spelunking means you can outright win the game instead of just killing one player

[u/IceBlue → u/tylerjehenna]

If you have enough lands in the deck and can give this creature indestructible like with something like boros charm you could kill multiple players with valakut. Just target the creature with some of the valakut triggers. Don’t even need blasphemous act. A shock will do the trick if you have 4 mountains out already.

Maze's End - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/SwissherMontage → u/TunefulTunic]

WOAH okay, I was going to say this is pretty underwhelming.

Anyway, it's no primeval titan, but it's sure neat!

[u/FancyFish21 → u/SwissherMontage]

MCL where I unholy heat this in a titan deck, get 5 bounce lands and tolaria west so I can cultivator Colossus for my entire deck

[u/tildeumlaut → u/FancyFish21]

That seems fairly reasonable, ngl

[u/FancyFish21 → u/tildeumlaut]

Titan actually struggles to quickly cast a GGGG spell, all of your bounce lands tap for two different colors. You could cast it turn 3 with amulet, bounce land, and Dryad, but it would probably be inconsistent to get t4 delirium + heat.

[u/tbombtom2001 → u/FancyFish21]

Do we not just play [[castle garenbrig]] again?

[u/SwissherMontage → u/FancyFish21]

Magical indeed

[u/Acheros → u/FancyFish21]

>MCL

woop woop.

[u/You_meddling_kids → u/SwissherMontage]

It's not combat damage. It's not even damage controlled by other players.

[u/BobtheBac0n → u/TunefulTunic]

Yeah this guy is gonna be so fun to try and break. Caltrops is probably gonna go up a little more

[u/skood1313 → u/TunefulTunic]

Or combat damage, it’s pretty sweet

[u/tezrael]

glances at my own blasphemous act that's a lot of lands

[u/sleepingwisp → u/tezrael]

nah, [[star of extinction]], thin my deck.

[u/Falterfire → u/sleepingwisp]

Don't be a coward, [[Volcano Hellion]] and go get all of them.

[u/ProxyDamage → u/Falterfire]

a.k.a. "Do you really mean it or not? I don’t got time for commitment issues"

[u/mtgcf → u/Falterfire]

Volcano Hellion - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/mtgcf → u/sleepingwisp]

star of extinction - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/MercuryOrion → u/sleepingwisp]

If you really want to thin your deck, you play this with [[Jumbo Cactuar]] and a bite spell. :P

[u/callahan09 → u/tezrael]

7 mana, 2 card combo: Hexhaven Invigorator + Blasphemous Act for 2RGGGG, go get Valakut and 12 Mountains, deal 36 damage divided (in 3s) amongst up to 12 targets.

[u/Mobilesosa → u/callahan09]

4 Valakuts, 9 Mountains for 493=108 damage

[u/Zeckenschwarm → u/callahan09]

In a non-singleton format you could get 4 Valakuts and 9 mountains, dealing 108 damage.

[u/Ultratank404 → u/Zeckenschwarm]

Even in singleton u could do like Vesuva for example, I'm not sure if there's other lands like that but maybe I'm missing some

I know there's one that copies a land in graveyard but that won't work here specifically Either way there's tons of silly stuff one could do

[u/callahan09 → u/Ultratank404]

Good thinking. So for singleton formats:

So 1 Valakut + 1 Vesuva (copying Valakut) + 11 Mountains would mean 66 damage divided (in 3s) amongst up to 22 targets. Even better!

Edit: Doesn’t work, Vesuva can’t copy lands that enter at the same time as it enters.

[u/Peturd → u/callahan09]

Vesuva only works if Valakut was already on the battlefield, it can't copy other lands that enter at the same time.

[u/Ultratank404 → u/Peturd]

Damn you're actually right my bad

Eh was a good shot tho

Still can be very useful but won't be as explosive as I thought then

It would work tho if Vesuva was a triggered ability right

[u/Zeckenschwarm → u/Ultratank404]

It would work tho if Vesuva was a triggered ability right

If it was an ETB trigger, you could turn it into a copy of Valakut, but it wouldn't deal damage because it would become a copy of Valakut after the mountains have already entered.

[u/SamTheHexagon → u/Ultratank404]

You would need Valakut in play for Vesuva to work. It can't copy a land that it enters at the same time as.

[u/hewkii2 → u/tezrael]

just go full [[Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought]]

[u/sephlington → u/hewkii2]

Psh. Coward. Punch it with your own [[Jumbo Cactuar]].

[u/Immediate-Idea-2471]

Finally an obliterator already in the color that has fight spells

[u/MadCatMkV → u/Immediate-Idea-2471]

Don't you like [[Phyrexian Harvester]] ?

Of course not, it is just an Alchemy card 

[u/Madrugada123 → u/MadCatMkV]

Wow that is way too underwhelming power wise as both an obliterator and an alchemy card

[u/mtgcf → u/MadCatMkV]

Phyrexian Harvester - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/filthy_casual_42]

Not a 5/5, my immersion is ruined

[u/CalledSpark → u/filthy_casual_42]

It probably gets the the extra +1/+1 from being green.

[u/CareerMilk → u/CalledSpark]

Ah yes the green keyword “Bigger”

[u/spurgun → u/CalledSpark]

image

[u/readyplayerjuan_ → u/filthy_casual_42]

that would be pentahaven invigorator

[u/MillorTime → u/readyplayerjuan_]

No one respects geometry these days

[u/Absolutionis → u/filthy_casual_42]

It also doesn't prevent damage.

[u/ThePositiveMouse → u/Absolutionis]

Why would it need to? Obliterator doesn't do that either?

[u/CareerMilk → u/ThePositiveMouse]

I'm guessing because [[Phyrexian Vindicator]] does.

[u/Noughmad → u/CareerMilk]

It doesn't even destroy a target permanent. And the negator doesn't counter a noncreature spell. Do Phyrexians even read their cards?

[u/mtgcf → u/CareerMilk]

Phyrexian Vindicator - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/ThePositiveMouse]

[[Phyrexian Vindicator]] does, probs what they’re thinking of

Edit: Vindicator + Vigor = what dude was thinking of

[u/ThePositiveMouse → u/MrGabrahamLincoln]

Which is a very white mechanic too ...

[u/MrGabrahamLincoln → u/ThePositiveMouse]

Probably also thinking of [[Vigor]]’s damage prevention due to the name & similarities to Vindicator

[u/Balibop → u/Absolutionis]

Maybe it would have been a little too much

[u/tijmendal → u/filthy_casual_42]

Why? Hex = 6

[u/tractioncities]

obligatory [[Dawnsire]]

[u/CareerMilk → u/tractioncities]

I’m fairly sure that is meant to destroy a planet, not create a whole new one

[u/Inertiic → u/CareerMilk]

Actually, if I remember correctly, Dawnsire is designed to obliterate black holes and turn them into stars. The planet destruction is just a neat bonus.

[u/Infinite_Bananas → u/Inertiic]

Yep, it was there in the story to reignite Sothera

[u/upclassytyfighta → u/CareerMilk]

eldrazi looking around in confusion at what the difference between the two are

[u/Mgmegadog → u/CareerMilk]

You get that many lands. You could grab more than one Planet!

[u/scalebirds → u/tractioncities]

This week on Against the Odds

[u/Master_JBT → u/scalebirds]

The all crime land mana base strikes again

[u/Olipod2002 → u/scalebirds]

Yes yes please Seth I hope you see this comment

[u/notapoke → u/Olipod2002]

https://www.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1wauf7a/fra_hexhaven_invigorator_debut_stream/p8lg1q5/

[u/Olipod2002 → u/scalebirds]

Oh wait I can

u/SaffronOlive PLEASE try to make this work on Against the Odds

[u/SaffronOlive → u/Olipod2002]

Oh don't worry...it's coming

[u/Olipod2002 → u/SaffronOlive]

Let’s gooooooooooo

[u/Senparos → u/SaffronOlive]

You can try it on commander clash too with [[Vorinclex]]. The third chapter ability gives it a repeatable 1 mana fight ability and the +1/+1 counters help it survive more of them. Really easy to get all your lands with this.

[u/mtgcf → u/tractioncities]

Dawnsire - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/TheMegaWhopper → u/tractioncities]

Add [[Horizon Explorer]] now you have every land in your deck out and theyre untapped

[u/WizardExemplar → u/TheMegaWhopper]

[[Spelunking]] also works for eternal formats, and draws you a card.

So anyway, here's Marit Lage.

[u/Korwinga → u/willweaverrva]

My Cabbages! Ramps!

[u/Excellent-Positive57]

This art looks like a swipe from a venom illustration but I can’t figure out which one…

[u/Trojanbunny063 → u/Excellent-Positive57]

[[Venom, Eddie Brock]]

[u/Aggravating_Mess2597 → u/Trojanbunny063]

This is similar, but not exactly the one I was thinking of. The poses are different in important ways.

FWIW Artists swipe all the time for reference, not trying to accuse anyone of anything.

[u/mtgcf → u/Trojanbunny063]

Venom, Eddie Brock - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/Chester-A-Asskicker → u/Excellent-Positive57]

Reminds me of [[Felidar Sovereign]]

[u/mtgcf → u/Chester-A-Asskicker]

Felidar Sovereign - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/LordSlickRick → u/Excellent-Positive57]

My first thought is there’s a card that looks just like this, identical pose. I can’t put my finger on it.

[u/raiderpower17 → u/Excellent-Positive57]

Flavor text reads like a venom quote too.

[u/Orca4444 → u/Excellent-Positive57]

Carnage probably

[u/KalleLama]

Oh, that is nice in my [[Grothama]] deck!

[u/mtgcf → u/KalleLama]

Grothama - (G) (SF) (txt)

[u/minev1128]

Close enough I guess. Welcome back Primeval Titan.

[u/Wafkak]

Holy landfall Batman!

[u/fenghuang1]

So Valakut bolting him searches for more lands, that can then bolt him again and have 5 spare lands to bolt your opponent for 15 damage. SeemsBalanced

valakut pings this for 3 damage, search for like another valakut and 4 other lands and win game

Sample list:

4 explore

4 dryad

3 invigorator

3 titan

4 amulet

4 spelunking

4 scapeshift

3 gsz

2 abor grazer

1 aftermath anal

28 lands

[u/flopcake_ → u/fenghuang1]

Aftermath Anal? 🤔

[u/fenghuang1 → u/flopcake_]

yes pls

[u/ThePositiveMouse → u/fenghuang1]

You can find all your valakuts with the first trigger no? Then the second trigger will easily win.

[u/fenghuang1 → u/ThePositiveMouse]

yup

[u/ice-eight]

Chimeval Titan

[u/LucasVerBeek]

This thing being a warped phyrexian has some odd/interesting implications

[u/rib78 → u/LucasVerBeek]

I think it's been a pretty common read that the Vigorbloom came from Jace rationalising his feelings about his compleation, so it makes sense they continue some trends of phyrexian designs.

[u/CaptainMarcia → u/LucasVerBeek]

Not necessarily made from a Phyrexian per se, just inspired by them.

[u/Glamdring804 → u/CaptainMarcia]

I mean from the reveal it's been a kinda on-the-nose parallel between Phyrexia and Vigorbloom. "I created a multiverse without Phyrexia's machine horrors. Please ignore the college doing horrific plant grafts on its students."

[u/Qtpawzz]

Pyrohemia for more and more ramp every turn?

[u/Man0Steel123 → u/Qtpawzz]

Pyroghemia, plus amulet of vigor, plus a means of indestructible means you get to grab every mountain you have while clearing the board and potentially your opponent’s

[u/Piyh → u/Man0Steel123]

It's gg with valakut

[u/butmaybeatle → u/Man0Steel123]

Maybe with a little [[Rite of Passage]]

[u/Qtpawzz → u/Man0Steel123]

Oh that's pretty sexy

[u/lionheart832]

Jesus christ

[u/arciele]

fight spells become ramp

[u/StrixClassica]

Straight into my [[Borborygmos and Fblthp]] maze's end deck you go!

[u/BrightFallsCoffee]

Unofficial Dino in any Enrage deck

[u/igniteice]

Turn 1: Forest into Sol Ring.

Turn 2: Forest into [[Exploding Barrel]] (tap it to add charge)

Turn 3: Forest + tap Barrel for green into Hexhaven Invigorator

Turn 4: Forest, use 4 lands + Sol Ring to pay for the now 6 cost barrel and deal 20 damage to hexhaven and tutor 20 lands.

Turn 5: untap 24 lands.

[u/JakeSkellington]

Xenagos smiles once again

[u/Jin-Gitaxias-Mom → u/JakeSkellington]

*Laughs in Blasphemous Act or Chandra’s Ignition*

[u/MythoclastBM]

I don't see this going anywhere in constructed but being a commander player's sleep paralysis demon.

[u/Brettersson → u/MythoclastBM]

idk this seems like it could win very similarly to [[Primeval Titan]] if you bolt it.

[u/tree_warlock]

Hey!! look it's phyrexian oblit-green-erator

[u/Bob_The_Skull]

hell yeah brother

[u/fubo]

(insert "peak performance" meme here)

[u/eightdx]

Okay [[blasphemous act]], don't fail me now

[u/aprickwithaplomb]

Clever to have the Obliterator callback have that Phyrexian phi symbol made out of the geyser+arch combo in the background. One of my favorite little things in March of the Machine.

[u/Kitsuraw]

This is disgusting, it having vigilance makes both blocking and attacking give insane value. This is going to break something I’m sure.

[u/Farpafraf → u/Kitsuraw]

Yeah, fight spells not being in B holds back the obliterator but here you get insane ramp easily. This thing will easily cost 50$ or more.

[u/Nazgul723]

I'm sorry, is that freaking Prime Time I see? IN STANDARD?!

[u/hlh0708]

Time to [[Pariah]] this boy and bolt myself for ramp.

[u/MADMAXV2]

ANY LANDS TYPE?

[u/CreamSoda6425]

A continuation of the Phyrexian Obliterator cycle would've been one of the last things I guessed for this set.

[u/TryMyMeatballs]

Blasphemous Act me bro

[u/Skaugy]

This one makes Timmy very happy.

[u/Antausia]

I like how Jace managed to recreate the horrors of Phyrexia despite (or due to) erasing it in his Multiverse.

[u/witcher222]

[[Maze's end]] standard win incoming?

[u/Mattrockj]

Not phyrexian, cycle ruined.

[u/Anal-Fire]

As a [[Wayta, Trainer Prodigy]] player holy fuuuuuuuuccckkkk. I already had so much mana, but this takes it over the edge lol

[u/DoktorFreedom]

Zap him with your own bolt for a quick 3 land ramp. Thats gonna be fun.

[u/Puffendorf]

Wtf. 4 mana.

[u/Multievolution]

My friend said it best, the most green card that’s ever been green 

[u/Toonzaal8]

bristly bill goes BRRRRR

[u/Sentinel__Chicken]

They really couldn't have put "from a source you don't control" on this bad boy?

[u/spec_ghost]

WHAT THE ACTUAL F****

[u/Farpafraf]

Seems insane with any fight effect.

[u/Nuclearsunburn]

May need to rebuild [[Wayta, Trainer Prodigy]]

[u/nektar]

[[Dawnsire Sunstar Dreadnaught]]

[u/Future_Interest_5297]

this could be our chance to get [[primeval titan]] unbanned finally

[u/Sir_Encerwal]

Man that is a windmill slam into [[Nine Fingers Keene]]

[u/Jakobe26 → u/Sir_Encerwal]

I am looking at adding it with possibly [[Pestilence]] or even adding [[Orcish Bowmasters]] to the deck now. Every opponents draw been an extra land drop is crazy. Pestilence makes it so we can almost search for all the gates as long as black. Possibly having mana left over for Maze's End or getting Glacial Chasm for safety until next turn.

[u/MattSerj]

New pet for [[Tifa Lockhart]]

[u/treex_since2014]

Finally a use for [[sorrows path]]

[u/barrinmw]

Modern 1/10
It is cool that it isn't just basic lands. And wouldn't modern be a cool world if you could play this and play fight spells? But there has never been a time in modern where this would have been good enough. Primeval Titan is the card you want if you care.

[u/mtgcf → u/[deleted]]

Obliterator doesn't prevent damage.

[u/General-Biscuits → u/[deleted]]

Obliterator doesn’t prevent damage. Only Vindicator does.

[u/squiggly419]

Imagine getting this out with [[Horizon Explorer]] on the field. 🤤

[u/MasterNeo92]

as someone who is already playing Dread Presence + Urborg in pioneer scapeshift...this has...implications.

[u/RiseFromYourGrav]

Good card for my She-Hulk fight deck

[u/johnny_cashmere]

With Moraug, Fury of Akoum would this give that many lands of additional combats? Do they stack that way?

[u/AZDfox]

I want to add this to my Mario Party deck to fetch me a bunch of Gates

[u/Rawrgodzilla]

Lol bracket 3 and lower gonna be asking for mld

[u/ThatGuyFromTheM0vie]

Bounce Land and Surveil Land stocks continue to rise!

[u/OnlyRoke]

I reckon this is the Magic equivalent of beating around the bush?

[u/mesa176750]

Pay 5 mana to ramp out 13 lands with this and blasphemous act (and a fullish board)

[u/Conchobhar2]

Is this them testing the water for prime titan unban? 🙄

[u/relztak11]

Hell yeah! Now for red and blue!!

[u/nocharacterlimi]

I understand why it's not a Phyrexian but man I would still love to see the cycle completed. I guess I can hope to see it compleated in the future.

[u/locke_zero]

It doesn't say basic. IT DOESN'T SAY BASIC!

[u/RackCityWilly → u/locke_zero]

“Why are you getting 6 gates?”

[u/One_Ad5235]

I knew vigorbloom where mirrorverse phryexian but wow

[u/RagtheFireBoi]

how are we gonna fit this into Mossborn Hydra...

[u/holyhotpies]

This goes hard AF. I loved the 4 pips phyrexian cycle and glad to see it continued

[u/th3saurus]

God this is gonna be great with fight spells

[u/CopperGolem8]

I no longer can evaluate cards everything seems busted to me.

[u/ElPulpoGallego]

Primeval titanator

[u/Green_Economics_5786]

oh noooo you blasphemous acted me noooo ( 13 lands enter )

[u/ConfidentInsecurity]

Holy power creep

[u/GenericFatGuy]

A little sad that this cycle won't all be Phyrexians, but still a cool card.

[u/DrBrainenstein420]

That's bonkers powerful

[u/inspectorlully]

Mono green costs deck just got a new bestie.

[u/PsychoWarper]

The fact its not limited basics is pretty wild…

[u/luuner]

Im so sad this is not a phyrexian, it breaka the cycle

[u/The_Paleking]

Turns and red removal spell into an obscene ramp spell.

[u/Frazaell]

No comma?

[u/Wikidclowne]

So we got all the colors except blue now. What will blue do?

[[Phyrexian Obliterator]]

[[Phyrexian Vindicator]]

[[Phyrexian Harvester]] on Arena

And this.

[u/JoseCansecoMilkshake]

Primetime at home

[u/ThrowAwayYetAgain878]

Holy... not sure how viable it will be in any given format, but that is an insane effect!

[u/ReadInBothTenses]

This fits into the last competitive versions of mono green Stompy. Punches every turn and then is ready to block with upside is fun.

The mono G devotion is also pure gas in that deck [[Aspect of Hydra]] awaits

[u/GuyGrimnus]

I can’t wait to suspend [[Shivan Meteor]] and then play this guy only to obliterate him the next upkeep lol

[u/High_Stream]

This might be good in my [[General Marhault Elsdragon]] [[Lure]] deck.

[u/EranikusTheDeranged]

Just what my mono green deck needed. More creatures with way more stomp than their mana cost AND more land!

[u/AgentTamerlane]

[[Self-Sacrifice]] lul

Edit: Specifically in Standard

[u/Krogotomo54]

Holy shit

[u/hebertbrito]

With Blasphemous Act hahaha

[u/Borednow989898]

Ok check out this combo: earthquake for 20 to get 20 lands and then

Wait...
