I totally relate, pal. I LOVE Jeskai for potentially being the fastest out of the three, and Esper can be pretty fun on its own way with Esper Charm, the combination of Path and Push, and even the latest build combining Nihil Spellbombs, Extirpates and Kaya, Orzhov Usurper to hate heavily on the opponents’ GY while building up to a devastating Kaya ult... but Azorius just looks to me like a huge pile of durdle that can’t even kill the opponent without glacier-slow stuff like Colonnades, Gideons and JTMS’ ult <.<
True, but to be fair, Vivien was also drawn relatively late. If she came down earlier (which she can do as early as turn 2 with the help of a dork), she can start accruing CA and value, especially against board wipes after which she can help you rebuild, or at worst act as a 3-mana Spellskite and pressure their spot removal. Even if she gets removed after a -2 she was still a 2 for 1 essentially.
All that considered I still think she’s worth a try at least
Around the 59:00 mark, after a Terminus wipe, new Vivien comes down against UW and starts pulling the Vannifar player back into the game between giving creatures flash and digging for them. Sensationalistic video titles aside, Vivien, Champion of the Wilds could possibly be a nice shot in the arm for the deck, possibly even enough to allow it to go toe to toe with other tier decks.
