Once Vivi is massive, players can use his 0 cost mana ability to generate an oppressive amount of red or blue mana, opening the board up to some truly insane spells
Another example of this is Skred Red, which has an average CMC of 2.56almost exactly the same as Jeskai Controlbut is only playing 23 lands
Yes, we cant ping a board full of Goblin tokens, or burn our opponent out, but I wanted to lower the curve without removing our ability to deal with creatures
That's neat, and that also neatly shows the end of the Ice Age, because at the end of it all is hope, and light, and civilization can return back to normal.
