Hexproof not applying
Playing historic brawl. Wednesday November 15 around 3:25 am pacific time. Playing on iPad. Ivy gleeful spellthief is my commander. I have a venerated rotpriest and ivy in play, with a forest open. Open casts depart the realm from exile with foretell, targeting rotpriest. Rotpriest and ivy trigger. I elect to let the spell target ivy. Rotpriest triggers again. In response, I cast tyvar’s stand for zero targeting my rotpriest. Ivy triggers again, and I chose to copy the spell, giving ivy and rotpriest hexproof. The visual for hexproof shows up on ivy, but when depart resolves, ivy is bounced to my hand. This should not be possible, as ivy had hexproof, and thus was not a legal target when depart attempted to resolve

I believe that would be because since your Ivy copied the spell you were the copy's controller. Hexproof only protects from opponents' spells.
