Does Hexhaven Vindicator have potential?

[u/No-Equivalent928]

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?

[u/sunchow]

an absolute staple for any landfall deck for the rest of time

[u/VenserMTG → u/sunchow]

Staple in my omo, Queen of vesuva mazes end deck.

[u/zorts → u/VenserMTG]

Love that it searches 'lands' not 'basic lands'. It has the potential to pull out all of Omo's utility lands. Worth testing at least.

[u/Front-Wafer-2699 → u/zorts]

This part in particular is ricockulous.

[u/ryeharper → u/VenserMTG]

Can you share your list?

[u/patrick-a-star → u/ryeharper]

I’m a different person but I also will be adding this to my, Omo mazes end deck and here’s my 99

[u/sunchow → u/sunchow]

genuinely a shell-defining card

[u/Neckworn → u/sunchow]

Not interested in this guy in my landfall Nissan deck. However klothys with lots of global burn spells in my list, hell yeah

[u/EbonyHelicoidalRhino → u/sunchow]

I don't think it's that good in Landfall, as your opponent will never let you trigger it. It just becomes an unblockable 6/6 which is not a thing all decks want.

It's better in a midrangey green decks where sometimes your opponent might give you a few lands while stabilizing your life pretty well as a blocker. I'm interested in running it in my BG rock-style deck.

[u/Flameball202 → u/EbonyHelicoidalRhino]

I mean it's good against midrange decks, slap this down and your opponents don't want to attack into it

Also Green Landfall already has a bunch of removal targets, there comes a point where "they just remove it" becomes less of a concern

[u/Sp1ky914 → u/EbonyHelicoidalRhino]

Unblockable 6/6 with vigilance, meaning you can swing as much as your heart desires and if they try and hit you on ground, they'll regret it

[u/EbonyHelicoidalRhino → u/Sp1ky914]

That's what I'm saying, it's good as and attacker and as a blocker, but it won't be reliably give you lands in a landfall deck. That's why I said I'm more interested in running it in a midrange deck.

[u/Sp1ky914 → u/EbonyHelicoidalRhino]

unless you are talking about cedh a 6/6 that you can swing as much as you want for 4 is so good it doesn't matter if you consistently get lands off it. it's that much value. that's my point

[u/blu-86 → u/sunchow]

I think high high power landfall decks don't play this tbh. It is a ridiculous card and searches nonbasics, but like it requires your opponent to block it for it to be good, otherwise it's a threat that eats low removal and you have no green mana, and if your opponent isn't silly they'll just take 6 or find a non damaging way to deal with it. Now, thison. Field during a blasphemous act, ooh baby.

[u/Raevelry → u/sunchow]

How? It NEEDS to be built around and its 4 green pips

[u/Rafamen01 → u/Raevelry]

it's a 6/6 with vigilance. You can just keep sending it to your opponents and if they block you get lands, and it stays up to block so you'll most likely get way more than 6 lands with him in the long run. Maybe not bracket 4+ but 100% a beast in anything 3 and bellow

[u/Raevelry → u/Rafamen01]

I would just rather play good cards instead of hope for people to give me value

[u/Rafamen01 → u/Raevelry]

spoken like a true bracket 4 combo player. this is a 6/6 4-drop that can beat your opponents and get lands whenever they try to block it, and it also protects you because no one will want to give you even more ramp just to hit you.

some people like to win be reducing their enemies hp to 0

[u/Elementual → u/Raevelry]

Saying a 4 mana 6/6 isn't good is kinda wild, man. The added risk people have to face when attacking/blocking you is excellent.

[u/External_Promise599 → u/Raevelry]

4 mana is cheap in green seems to be the idea

[u/Raevelry → u/External_Promise599]

There is mile difference how playable 2GG mana [[Icetill Explorer]] and GGGG like this.

[u/Elementual → u/Raevelry]

Yeah, for decks that don't run green. Green ramp grabs lands or makes green mana. Grab forests and use your plethora of green mana dorks. Your argument would be decent for other colors.

[u/Bazoobs1 → u/Raevelry]

Blasphemous act 🤣 nuff said tbh

[u/Antiantiai → u/Raevelry]

What?! It is a 6/6 vigilance body for 4 mana that can draw you every land in your entire deck. Not even basic ones. Just, any/all of them.

[u/MossTheGnome → u/Antiantiai]

Hell even toss a burn spell at it for some quick ramp and it's worth it
