Just getting this started, will continue adding/editing. Anyway, on to the actual description:

I guess I can start with my overall deck-building philosophy -

I really enjoy making EDH decks where I consider what the commander would want if they themselves were making the deck. Aminatou doesn't have a strong backstory as of yet (though I'm really hoping we see more of her in the future) but I'm ok working with what little bits we have. The card itself gives us a lot to work with mechanically speaking, but I think the key piece from her background is this: she possesses some incredible powers, but at the end of the day she's also a kid that isn't interested in using them very seriously right now. She alters people's fates sort of on a whim, almost for fun. That's why I'm calling this deck "Aminatou's Toy Box" - because while it definitely should have the power to win I want the focus to be on having fun, cause that's how I think Aminatou would want it.

Speaking more generally, I like my decks to tell a story while also being internally synergetic, interactive with other decks, strategic, decently powerful and fun to play with and against. Will this deck actually achieve all that? I can only hope.

Another important note about the deck -

You may notice the conspicuous absence of certain U/W flicker staples, such as Mulldrifter , Cloudblazer , and Reality Acid . Some of these are for flavor reasons (for example, I can't for the life of me imagine Aminatou being interested in any of the bores in the Azorius Senate like Lavinia of the Tenth ) but others are because a close friend of mine is currently building a Brago, King Eternal EDH deck (his first EDH deck, in fact) and I don't want our two decks to be filled with all the same cards. I'm willing to make exceptions for cards that are really flavorful with Aminatou like Sea Gate Oracle and Wall of Omens , but I'm doing my best to avoid them. As a result, I'll give special attention to any card recommendations that are U/B, W/B, or just plain Black as those cards could never find their way into my friend's Brago deck.

I'm going to expand this description in the near future, hopefully including my personal justifications for each non-land card in the deck, but for the moment I'm happy for any and all feedback! Is there a card or type of card you think I really need? More mana / land ramp maybe? Do you think one of the cards in the deck doesn't suit Aminatou's character? Let me know!
