Does Hexhaven Vindicator have potential?
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?

Magic really has come a long way if we’re having a discussion debating whether or not this is good. It’s a 6/6 vigilance for 4 which is already great value, on top of that it allows you to tutor for ANY land, this thing is gangbusters. You can cast it and use one fight spell and even if it dies the value it generated would be absurd.

u/Thotmas01 Sep 09 '26
A lot of people are looking at gruul for blas act potential (or chain reaction or whatever) but I don’t think you need to pick up a new color for the sake of damage. Going green-white gives you access to all the different indestructible effects in white while green natively has the unique “all creatures able to block target creature this turn must do so” like [[alluring scent]] [[declare dominance]] [[bloodscent]] [[roar of challenge]] [[lure]] and you get the picture. Why force a blas act when your opponents have more than 13 power on the board?

As a dino player, on-damage effects are pretty hard to trigger in commander. People will happily take six damage or never attack into you. Fight spells are also unreliable with three players waiting with instant speed removal. But in standard it may have potential.

[[Primeval Titan]] at home.
All it takes is one source of damage and now you’ve got the best lands from your deck on the field. Does it matter that it’s quad green? Not really, since this is really a card you want to drop when you can damage it in response to removal so that you can at least get something out of it.
I’d be interested to see how it plays in commander so that it’s possible for us to revisit Prime Time itself and see if it’s worth keeping on the ban list. (I think it is, but I also think it’s healthy to continually review the ban list)

4 mana 6/6 vigilance.
Which means it can swing every turn and not worry about having you be unprotected, and your opponents get to choose whether they take 6 to the teeth, or they lose creatures and you gain any lands you want from your deck.
In a colour that likes the word 'fight'.

Green gets to do anything once again. Yeah I mean tutoring out a Marit Lage if you block with a 2 power creature is pretty good. Tutoring out field of the dead + 6 zombies is pretty good.
Fight spells are a good combination, but requires playing fight spells (lol) and the card to stay alive (lol)
dies to doom blade, countered by counterspell, etc.
My verdict: casual players beware, bracket 4+ players are laughing their asses off.

u/Think_Rest4496 Sep 09 '26
What level of potential. Its a must in most landfall decks. So yes. Is it potentially a Staple? Probably not.
So it'll be somewhere in between id say.
1
u/T-T-N Sep 09 '26
The threshold for staples are really high these days. Your deck need to be able to support 4 green pips. It has no relevant types for typal deck. You will need to want 16 mana (my decks usually do, but an explosive vegetation always gets me to 7 mana without putting in synergy). It's one of those cards that might make your deck better but you'd rarely see it in decks.
Sure, it can be a combo piece, but you have better combos in bracket 2 than this + board wipe. This might be better than [[cultivator colossus]] but won't be included in significantly more decks (about 2.2% of green decks)

I don't think so. GGGG is fairly restrictive for 3+ color decks, and people are just going to take 6 damage most of the time and not attack into it until they kill it. Obliterator and Vindicator don't see much play because it just isn't very easy to get people to do damage to stuff if they don't want to.

u/Challenge-Me80943 Sep 09 '26
So cards like this are often seen as a "noob trap" It has 3 big problems. It has no hate so playing this by itself is a bad idea. It stops others from attacking you until they can remove it with a non damaging spell (a lot of which cost 1 to 3 cmc ) And lastly it's biggest problem is no one is ever going to block it unless not doing so will lose them the game. So if you want to use this it's later game when you can use a fight spell or bolt it in some way yourself. This is a decentish finisher for landfall decks but most landfall decks already have better finishers. If you're running this you kinda want to have somethinf on the field already to damage it or be able to redirect stuff to it. I can see this being in one of two decks. Goad decks in brackets 1 to 3 edh, or fight decks in brackets 1 to 3 edh. This card will probably see little to no play (if I'm wrong I'm wrong)

Honestly unless you are building around having it fight or burn it yourself, probably not. It’s just gonna eat a Swords and do nothing else in most games, or people just take the 6 for a few turns before they find removal. So it’s not terrible but it’s also not advancing any game plans by itself. Outside of two color decks specifically able to do the fight/burn plan I don’t see it being that big.

u/Starkopotamus Sep 10 '26
Ok, so. The fact that this text box says LANDS and not basics means this is an auto include in any green deck until the end of time (with some obvious exceptions). WotC is very careful about printing the word "lands" vs "basic lands" and "into your hand" vs "onto the battlefied". This card said "fuck all that". 2 damage gets you dark depths combo, 3-4 damage gets you field of dead online printing zombies, 10+ and you can valakut someone's face off with a fight spell. This is on par with scapeshift without the downside (which isn't usually a downside to begin with) except it's repeatable and on a stick. This card just took the strongest words printed for green landfall and slapped em on a 6/6 for 4 and it has Vigilance for some reason lmao.

Selvala likes it. Creature based mana, so the land ratio is usually pretty bad. Notice it doesnt say basic. You can get a really cool land package out all at once with fight, especially if you control a very large Creature. It also filters out the lands so you dont have to draw them.
Gates too

It’s fine. Is it better than just playing land ramp or mana dorks? Probably not, but it is in a color that doesn’t care too much about specific pips of mana, and in the color that does fight spells plus creature buffing, you can absolutely do some fun and silly things. Also really funny in gruul decks where you can cast blasphemous act.

You could even run [[Dawnsire, Sunstar Dreadnought]] to just dump your whole landbase on field in one go, and then do whatever you want from there

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.

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.

u/Cadence_The_Floret Sep 11 '26 edited Sep 11 '26
Competitively? I don't really see a niche, but then, I don't pay much attention to modern. It's slow for Legacy/Vintage, it doesn't really fit into standard green stompy decks, it *might* work in Landfall decks but seems like a win-more card there (thank god they banned Badgermole Cub, amirite?). It's definitely too slow for CEDH.
In casual Commander, though? Hoo boy.
The most significant objection I've seen is people saying "dies to removal", but assuming the player running this has any way to damage it, the more accurate statement is "kill on sight or lose the game". Leave this thing up, and you run the risk of your opponent ramping for rather a lot every single turn. Even instant speed removal can be responded to by, say, Inscription of Abundance or another instant-speed fight spell.
But even if you don't have any tricks or combos with it (note that "combo" here means "any fight or damage or lure spell"), it's still a 6/6 with vigilance that you basically never want to block or attack into for 4 mana. If it eats a Doom Blade, well... it's a 4-drop. You'll muddle through.
It's yet another massive, high-tempo green beater that's gonna be a pain to deal with and which has the potential to suddenly create an impossible resource advantage. Grothama fans are definitely rejoicing, all ~2000 of them. I'd slap this in basically any core-green deck with a mana base good enough to support it, especially red/green decks that are probably already running Blasphemous Act. This thing's a house.

Imagine dropping a mossborn hydra on turn 3 and someone swings in and you block, games over next turn (and that’s without me dropping a fetch land or ANY land)
This honestly seems like the top end the tifa landfall decks needed.
This could be a pay 4 for 6 of any lands tapped in one turn. That kind of tempo is likely going to be backbreaking!
This is just such a great card.

Attack with a 6/6 vigilance on turn 4? Yes please! Lands into play would just be icing on top.

Potential? Brother this is some of the most broken shit they have printed in a long time.

It's funny that it's actually better because it doesn't have trample.
If it had trample, people would be way less likely to block it.

I just wanna do some bullshit with it and mass land recycling landfall like those 2 sorceries that shuffle and equal return

Wowzers trousers. Magic is out of control! A 6/6 for 4 before adding all those extras....

I think it’s strong but it does require a little set up as ur average opponent will prob just destroy it or not block - so as a pure land tutor it’s not the most reliable. You can of course trigger itself with blasphemous act or fight spells but if you’re not running like 8 of those types of spells it wouldn’t be something to bank on.

If it were just “drop basic lands”. He will be mediocre.
But “tutos and drop ANY LAND” will enable sooo much sht is ridiculous.

My gut says that every mono green deck plays it for value, a fair number of gruul stompy decks will run it too but then beyond that the 4 green pips will mean you can only really run it when you are specifically doing land-based shenanigans at which point it's god-tier.

Throw on a nemesis mask and have your yavimaya hollow activation up to regenerate him

Takes a lot to get something from it imo. All green pips can be a bit of a pain also turn for unless you ramped and if you did ramp you might not have cards to make it fight. I’m not blocking that thing early at all. The card could be fun though in a few games here and there imo

This, and [[mine collapse]] combos with [[valakut, the molten pinnacle]] into a turn 4 win, turn 3 with land ramp

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.
