I think we absolutely have a Vivi problem. Not sure what they were thinking with 0: create mana ever being printed on a card, but it's clear they (and all of us too) never saw the interaction with Agatha's Soul Cauldron.

Cauldron will most likely eat a ban to pay for Vivi's sins, but here we are. They won't ban the card while it's being actively sold and opened imo, and certainly not from the FF set.

"Hey I know! Let's make a 2/5 Shock that makes a Mox Sapphire and a Mox Ruby when it enters!"

"Hmm....not good enough."

"Give it super-prowess? Wait...no, give it super-prowess and Marwyn the Nurturer's ability, but for any noncreature spell!"

"Dammit Gavin, you're a genius! But we should probably make it a 0/3 for balance."

"And lower its mana cost to 1UR, to make sure it still sees play."
