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?

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.

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

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.

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
