My Esper blink deck with Aminatou, the Fateshifter.

Synergistic Combos

Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + any ETB creatures = Value town with as much mana available to sink in.

Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Gilded Drake = Steal a creature every turn.

Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Oath of Teferi = Since she can activate her abilities twice, she can essentially use her -1 flicker ability every turn by first using her +1 ability.

Conjurer's Closet / Deadeye Navigator / Eldrazi Displacer / Kaya, Ghost Assassin / Venser, the Sojourner + Felidar Guardian = Grants the ability to flicker any permanent instead of just creatures.

Infinite Combos (Win Conditions)

Main Infinite Combo

The following is the most efficient and fastest way to close out a game:

Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Corpse Knight + Felidar Guardian (or Altar of the Brood)

Felidar Guardian + Spark Double + Corpse Knight (or Altar of the Brood)

Infinite Turns (with Temporal Manipulation)

• Archaeomancer + Deadeye Navigator / Eldrazi Displacer / Venser, the Sojourner / Conjurer's Closet

• Archaeomancer + Mnemonic Wall (or Salvager of Secrets) + Ghostly Flicker (can also be used to get any instant/sorceries back)

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Oath of Teferi + Archaeomancer

Infinite Mana & ETB Triggers

• Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake

• Eldrazi Displacer + Peregrine Drake

• Archaeomancer + Ghostly Flicker + Peregrine Drake

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Felidar Guardian + Oath of Teferi or Panharmonicon

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Clever Impersonator + Emeria Shepherd (get infinite ETB triggers as well as infinite mana of whatever Plains Aminatou bounces)**

**Note that Emeria Shepherd + Clever Impersonator produces the same effect as Felidar Guardian.

The Payoffs

The following are payoff cards to win the game after getting infinite mana & ETB triggers:

• Altar of the Brood = Mills everyone's libraries

• Kaya, Ghost Assassin = Infinite life loss to entire table and gain infinite life (this is the winning payoff with Aminatou + Felidar + Oath infinite combo line).

• Piranha Marsh = Infinite life loss to entire table (this is the winning payoff with Aminatou + Felidar + Oath or Ghostly Flicker infinite combo line).

• Archaeomancer + Temporal Manipulation = Infinite turns.

• Baleful Strix / Cloudblazer / Trial of Knowledge = Draw entire library.

• Agent of Treason / Ashen Rider / Spine of Ish Sah / Angel of Despair = Control/Exile/Destroy all opponent's permanents.

• Knight-Captain of Eos = Infinite 1/1 white soldier tokens (flash him in at opponent's EOT with Winding Canyons to win on your turn).

• Gonti, Lord of Luxury = Exile opponents' entire libraries and cast all their spells.

Other Infinites

• Felidar Guardian + Parallax Wave = Infinite etb triggers. This works with up to 5 creatures (including Felidar Guardian) in play since you need Parallax Wave to be in play when you let Felidar Guardian's flicker ETB trigger resolve. You do not need to remove all of the fading counters since the LTB trigger is independent from it. You also only need Felidar Guardian itself to start the combo (instant win with Altar of the Brood / Gonti, Lord of Luxury ). Start by casting Felidar Guardian and with it's flicker ETB trigger on the stack, respond by removing counters from Parallax Wave to target up to 5 creatures including Felidar Guardian . With the creatures exiled, let Felidar Guardian's ETB trigger resolve which will flicker Parallax Wave and put all creatures back into play with Parallax Wave refreshed with 5 fading counters. This will put Felidar Guardian 's flicker ETB trigger on the stack again. Repeat ad infinitum.

More things to do

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter has another strong combo with her ultimate. Cast Paradoxical Outcome / Teferi's Protection in response to her activation to retain all of your important nonland permanents in addition to gaining control off your victim's permanents. There is a way to make her ultimate useful but only with Oath of Teferi + Felidar Guardian combo and Aminatou needs one extra loyalty to be able to survive her own ultimate. This will give Aminatou infinite -1 flicker activation to be able to get everything you gave away back to our control.
