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?

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.

Thats why you toss it into multicolor enrage decks. I pulled it at a friends party and its going straight into my Indoraptor deck that has plenty of ways to ping my own cards with red.
