Envy by DGMCKNIGHT

Format: Commander

Commander: Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief builds a copy-engine beatdown: every cheap single-target spell aimed at a second creature is mirrored onto Ivy. The deck's core is the pump/protection instant package, strengthened by Orvar, the All-Form and Riku of Two Reflections, which turn each pump into extra creature copies and extra spell copies. Twinning Staff increases Ivy's trigger, so a single Giant Growth can become two or more Ivy-sized growths. If the commander-damage route stalls, the deck can pivot to Craterhoof Behemoth-ideally with a kicked Rite of Replication-for an all-at-once overrun. There is no face-down commander; Orvar functions as the closest thing to a hidden engine.
