Looking to make a poison Ivy deck using the new ivy,gleeful spellthief.
I have a bunch of cards from ikoria since it was my first set in magic. I bought way too much. Any chance anyone has a somewhat budget list for her?

Would probably help to know what exactly mean by "poison ivy" and what you want the deck to be able to do

The idea is is to use Ivy's copy ability to apply poison counters.

#

[[Tawnos the Toymaker]] may be a reasonable inclusion then since he copies beast and bird spells (which a lot of the mutate cards are)

He's also only 35 cents

#

What are you considering "budget" in this case though?

Does tawnos copy a mutate spell so i would basically have 3 mutates with ivy in play?

Probably should include other sources of poison counters and proliferation too if you can't get rotpriest out. [[Infectious Bite]] and [[Prologue to Phyresis]] are good options...shame they don't work with Ivy since one has 2 targets (your creature and the opponent's) and the other doesn't target creatures at all, but still more poison counters around the board

I personally like [[Vesuvan Duplimancy]] with Ivy because then you can multiply the Ivy's for even more triggers

So you target original Ivy, get a copy, then each time you target one Ivy, it's copied to the rest and you get another Ivy

#

[[Shimmering Wings]] and [[Whip Silk]] give you cheap repeatable targeted spells just to get cast/target triggers

The effects are pointless to Ivy, but you could maybe do an enchantress sub-theme to get other benefits too

[[Spellskite]] is one that seems like a good inclusion
