Hey...I love your writeup. Stax is a cool strategy with Aminatou. Suggestions wise...not sure about Diabolic Intent since you don't run many creatures and you generally wanna flicker them. Maybe replace it with Sensei's Divining Top? I know that this is probably a little high on the CMC but why didn't you include Oath of Teferi?

Thanks for the upvote and the suggestions. I will try to find slots for them. I was initially apprehensive about Oath of Teferi due to its cost and the fact that I only had two PWs in the deck. I gave it a second look and it does make a lot of sense. Thanks again! If anything else comes to mind, please let me know.

Also, thoughts on Kaya, Ghost Assassin? Her +0 blinks creatures and -2 nets you a card and forces everyone to discard a card which is pretty fitting in a stax deck.

Yes, I saw her on the other lists and thought the same. With so many good cards available, i'm actually having a harder time to decide on which cards to cut.

Love your list. Why you run Armageddon? Try Fall of the Thran

Toshiro thanks! I like that Fall of the Thran is a possible target for flicker effects but at 6cmc, the cost just seems too high. I'll think about it though.

hmm I like the idea of stax here because you can reset the pieces with aminatou, very nice!!

I would personally take out oath of jace i dont think its a very good card. I would replace it with Blind Obedience which is a much better card

I find Oath of Jace to be quite effective tbh. Getting to draw 3 cards then discard two is awesome since it lets me set up reanimation especially for key creatures like Brago. I might need to find a slot for Blind Obedience though. Can’t believe I forgot all about it. Thanks!

Parallax Nexus, Parallax Tide, Parallax Wave all have great interaction with Aminatou, the Fateshifter

I like your list. Stax is the way to go. I have been testing Heliod's Pilgrim. It fetches Reality Acid, Darksteel Mutation, and Imprisoned in the Moon.

Kilrane bottomless_pete great suggestions guys. I could use some help cutting cards though. I think the list is already a bit tight so pointing out cards that you feel are weak links in the deck would be very helpful. Upvotes would be nice too! Lol

Personally I have never been a big fan of Sensei's Divining Top and would replace it with Soothsaying (for this deck at least). Same CMC but comes with a shuffle effect on a stick and some sweet top deck shenanigans.

As far as replacement cards go for my other suggestions you could replace various different stax cards you already have. Parallax Tide for Armageddon for example as it a targeted effect rather than a board wipe, 1 turn 8-9 exiled lands with a flicker, you exile at instant speed, and it's reusable. As a bonus they combo with Aminatou and Brago.

What are your thoughts about Miracle? Or about The Chain Veil/Teferi, Temporal Archmage combo? You have most of the package available already and with flicker you'd have quite a few more options available to you.

What about Teferi's Protection (not letting me link it for some reason) so if you Ult your commander you'd get to keep all of your sweet stuff?

Parallax Tide in place of Armageddon is perfect! Thanks! I am also not a fan of SDT in this deck and Soothesaying seems like a viable replacement.

Miracles are nice but they don’t exactly fit the current configuration of the deck which relies on stax effects a lot.

I would have added The Chain Veil and Teferi if it were not for their high cost. I am also trying to stay away from the superfriends feel that it might add to the deck since a couple of guys in my playgroup already use that theme.

As for Teferi’s Protection, it’s use seems too limited to be worth it’s slot in the deck. I would much rather have a mass flicker effect instead.

Temporal Mastery would fit pretty well but I get that it's not the most flavorful choice.

I disagree about Teferi's Protection . It protects everything from everything, even yourself for 3 CMC, and can get around Fun Police cards like Hallowed Moonlight and Containment Priest

I will put it under consideration. A lot of Aminatou users are on the fence about using it but I see why you like it. I just feel it’s too defensive-oriented for my taste but we’ll see.

I don't think Recruiter of the Guard can tutor for Brago since it's "Tutor for a creature with toughness 2 or less" and Brago's toughness is 4. Aside from that though, awesome deck!

swimtothemoon, good catch. I was somehow thinking of Imperial Recruiter. Lol. Thank you for pointing that out.

Ghostly Prison Propaganda Ensnaring Bridge some cards I feel work in stax although Bridge not so much, depends on your meta if people like to draw cards or make you draw. Deck looks awesome though, and I would never want to play against it lol.

Thanks! I would love to add those to the list but the deck, being much more offense-oriented, just doesn’t seem to have enough slots to accomodate them. Feel free to suggest possible cuts and additions and don’t forget to upvote if you think the deck deserves a bit of “street cred” which I think it still lacks. Lol
