You need to have a good understanding of how the rules for Mutate and copyable values work, be willing to track a board state full of tokens of complex merged permanents (I use custom tokens designed to indicate multiple component mutate creatures which helps) and you also want to make sure you understand how Ivy's ability interacts with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Vesuvan Duplimancy"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Twinning Staff"}},{"insert":".
