I am curious as to why you are running Parallax Tide in the deck. Is it for mana, or land control? If so, why not use another mana rock or something? Other than that, I like the deck and used some of the ideas in building mine.

PUNCHINGTON the Tide is supposed to give me targetted land removal. When used with Archaeomancer and Ghostly Flicker, it can become quite devastating. Outside of that, it might seem underwhelming. I am considering adding back in Armageddon to replace it.

I might be missing something. Ghostly flicker only hits creatures, artifacts and lands. What's the method for using that along with Archaeomancer and Tide to ruin your opponents lands? I'm curious, because I would like to do that too.

You’re right. Thank you! I really should pay more attention to text boxes. Lol. I’ll be removing the card until I can find a dependable way to flicker it. Any suggestions on what I can add? I don’t think I need more mana rocks.

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head is either adding OG Flicker into the mix for any permanent. Or, run Flickerwisp and Eldrazi Displacer to do it once a turn.

I just added Necropotence which I think gives a lot of raw power to the deck. I am thinking of replacing one of the Rishadan creatures with Hostage Taker or Gonti, Lord of Luxury.

Both are great additions and I have them in my deck. They both fulfill similar roles, but I prefer Hostage Taker for pure value. Gonti for me is more of an infinite flicker wincon, while Taker is better at on board resource denial.

I can't help but feel like Lightning Greaves is a wasted card here. You only have 16 creatures and none of them really benefit from the haste.

On another note. Necropotence seems amazing. I might have to add that to mine.

True. Brago is the sole reason I included it in here. I wanted to take it out several times but I just can’t see Brago being able to swing without it.

I wanted to let you know that I purchased the stax cards within budget, as I want to explore how well Aminatou handles it, and it is a playstyle that I am uncomfortable with. Thanks for your inspiration and comment on my deck, friend. Have a good one!

Duly noted. What about it felt uncomfortable though? I would love to hear your experience and maybe make adjustments of my own.

Only that I have never played stax. It's new to me. I'll let you know how it went.

Wow, this is a lot meaner than my list :)

I don't have a ton of experience with Stax, so I really don't have any suggestions. And Aminatou seems different than the majority of Stax decks (Since most Stax commanders are just cards that untap things, Derevi, Empyrial Tactician or Teferi, Temporal Archmage.

But thanks for reminding me about Parallax Wave. That seems pretty good in my list, since it can take out blockers or just blink 5 of my creatures with a single Aminatou -1.

The cumulative upkeep cards are really clever. Mystic Remora that I can reset whenever I want? Sounds great!

How has Trial of Knowledge played? Repeatable Sift isn't bad, but maybe Oath of Jace is better? Makes you discard 2 instead of 1, but it is a mana cheaper and Scrys on upkeep for 1, even with just Aminatou out

RazortoothMtg thanks! Glad you like it. Feel free to hit that upvote button. Lol.

Tbh, I hardly get to play (draw) Trial of Ambition so it’s hard to say how much better or worse it is compared to OoJ. I would like to think the additional card I get to keep is enough justification to run it over Oath but I just might revert back to using Oath because of the cost.

Such a cool deck man

Glad you liked it!

Incredible. Thank you for sharing.

I would like to try Reflector Mage with this.

How do you feel about Strionic Resonator? That coupled with Panharmonicon could be nuts. Maybe unnecessary though.
