## Official Rulings
- *(2020-04-17)* The top card of your library isn't in your hand, so you can't cycle it, discard it, or activate any of its activated abilities.
- *(2020-04-17)* If you cast a mutating creature spell, you must choose a target for it before the triggered ability from Vivien's last ability puts a creature onto the battlefield. The creature you find can't be the target of the mutating creature spell.
- *(2020-04-17)* Normally, Vivien allows you to cast the top card of your library if it's a creature card, it's your main phase, and the stack is empty. If that creature card has flash, you'll be able to cast it any time you could cast an instant, even on an opponent's turn.
- *(2020-04-17)* For spells with {X} in their mana costs, use the value chosen for X to determine the spell's mana value.
- *(2020-04-17)* After activating Vivien's last loyalty ability, the delayed triggered ability it creates will put a creature card onto the battlefield before the creature spell that caused the ability to trigger resolves.
- *(2020-04-17)* You'll still pay all costs for that spell, including additional costs. You may also pay alternative costs such as mutate costs.
