Strategy
Irma, Part-Time Mutant is a creative twist on clone effects that encourages you to build a deck full of valuable creature threats. Every combat turn, she copies one of your best creatures and gets a +1/+1 counter, meaning she grows stronger while mimicking your most impactful board presence. This transforms her into a scaling threat that gets better as your deck develops.
The core strategy revolves around filling your deck with creatures that have powerful enters-the-battlefield effects, evasion, or high power/toughness. Since Irma copies them at combat, you're essentially duplicating those effects each turn while building a second threat. Pair her with card draw, evasion creatures, and utility creatures to maximize her flexibility. You win by swinging with an ever-growing Irma that mirrors your best creature, supported by your main threats pressuring opponents' life totals.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Build around affordable creatures with good ETB effects like Mulldrifter, Vesperlark, and Mnemonic Wall instead of pricey legends; budget counterspells like Counterspell (reprints) and Spell Pierce protect Irma cheaply.
