Vivien, Nature's Avenger enters as a six-mana planeswalker with a static that gives your creatures +1/+1 for each loyalty counter on her — a passive that scales fast and puts immediate pressure on the board without needing to activate. The cost is real: six mana is a steep ask, and she needs protection to snowball, but Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider doubles her counters on entry and halves opponents', making that snowball nearly instant.

Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider
Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider is the obvious home — his counter-doubling lands Vivien, Nature's Avenger with twice the loyalty she'd normally see, which means twice the static bonus to every creature you control from the moment she hits the battlefield.

Vivien, Nature's Avenger is a Commander card through and through — the multiplayer environment gives her enough time to accumulate loyalty and let that static pump compound across a wide board. In competitive 60-card formats like Modern and Pioneer she's too slow and too passive; a six-mana planeswalker that doesn't immediately win the game or stabilize a losing position doesn't make the cut when threats resolve at half the cost. Legacy and Vintage are even more hostile for the same reasons. Oathbreaker is the one exception worth noting: if she can serve as your signature spell's enabler in a creature-heavy build, the static becomes a win condition. Stick to Commander.

unknown tier
Pricing data for Vivien, Nature's Avenger isn't available in the current index, so check Scryfall or TCGPlayer for a live number. Given her narrow Commander application and lack of competitive format play, she's historically sat in the bulk-to-casual range — worth picking up cheaply for a Vorinclex or counter-doubling build, but don't expect scarcity to drive the price up.
