Notes

  1. The combo is written assuming the other Aura enchants a creature. If it doesn't, the combo will still function, but you will not get additional copies that attach to Ivy. You can also elect to not have those copies attach to Ivy, even if they do attach to creatures. To get infinite mana and untap of lands, you must use an Aura with mana value 4 or less, or have a land that adds multiple mana.

Results

  1. Gain control of all creatures.
  2. Infinite copies of a specific enchantment.
  3. Infinite mana lands you control can produce.
  4. Infinite storm count.
  5. Infinite untap of lands you control.
