#looking to make a poison ivy deck

Would probably help to know what exactly mean by "poison ivy" and what you want the deck to be able to do
It's named for [[Ivy gleeful spellthief]] and [[Venerated Rotpriest]]
The idea is is to use Ivy's copy ability to apply poison counters.
It sounds like you're looking at doing a mutate deck since you're asking about Ikoria?
[[Tawnos the Toymaker]] may be a reasonable inclusion then since he copies beast and bird spells (which a lot of the mutate cards are)
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
Yes. You get one on ivy and two for the others.
[[Spellskite]] is one that seems like a good inclusion
: Return Shimmering Wings to its owner's hand.
: Return Whip Silk to its owner's hand.
: Change a target of target spell or ability to Spellskite. (
