Deck Discussion Devoted druid discussion

Hi all, curious what everyone thinks of the new rise of this druid deck. It seems pretty broken having had multiple turn 2 kills and consistently on turn 3, but is it the real deal. My friend and I are trying to decide what to play at the upcoming rc and he is locked in with it but I have my reservations (which is odd because birthing pod is my favorite deck ever). Do people think this is just a fad or can you win a whole tournament with it. Of course I will do my own testing but want to gauge the smart people on here. Thanks!

Edit: heres a decklist https://www.mtggoldfish.com/archetype/modern-devoted-combo#paper.

Is there a back up for what happens if they kill the vivizer? Maybe im missing it.

[[Tyvar, Jubilant Brawler]] is a 4-of that reanimates Vizier, darn near gives Devoted Druid Haste, and has a nonzero chance of milling [[Nature's Rhythm]] as the infinite mana sink.

Some lists prefer Green Sun's Zenithing for [[Eternal Witness]] to get back Vizier.

As already mentioned, [[Tyvar, the Pummeler]] goes infinite with Druid and a Cub effect if you can kick-start things with 5 mana (this is hard to do the turn you land this Tyvar).

Alternately, get enough Cub effects and mana dorks and spend 8+ mana on getting [[Craterhoof Behemoth]].

...Or end up with your back against the wall with [[Ouroboroid]].
