Vivi Ornitier rockets up commander rankings as one of the marquee legends from the Final Fantasy Universes Beyond release. Online deck techs highlight how he turns cheap cantrips and rituals into massive bursts of damage, making him a storm-style spellslinger commander. His popularity is boosted by Final Fantasy IX nostalgia and by the sheer volume of efficient noncreature spells available in Commander. Players who enjoy chaining spells, counting triggers, and finishing the table with one huge turn have eagerly picked up Vivi as their blue-black burn combo engine.
