This is my Aminatou Commander deck. After a long hiatus I decided to join the realm of Magic the Gathering once again and try out commander with my friends, I bought the precon Aminatou deck and I've fallen in love with it. Let me know what you think of this deck and what I could swap out to improve the decklist. The cards in the maybe board are some things I was considering adding/swapping.

Why should you play this deck?

If you like to have control over the board, utilize cards multiple times, manipulating opponents, stealing permanents and infinite combo's? Then this is the deck for you. Aminatou's loyalty abilities makes her an incredible flexible commander to have and you can go a lot of different routes. The deck does have a bit of a learning curve since it's so volatile so be prepared to be amazed (still after two years of active playing with this deck).

What are the key cards in the deck?

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter

Aminatou herself is THE engine of the whole deck. Use her +1 ability to manipulate the top card of your deck (handy when you have a Temporal Mastery in your hand) and give her some more beef to take some hits from attacking creatures. Her -1 ability is where she shines; letting a permanents ETB (Enter the battlefield) trigger trigger again is very powerful. Gain control of target permanents with Agent of Treachery or dig up a counterspell with Archaeomancer , the possibilities are endless. Her -6 ability won't happen very often but if you manage to have 6 loyalty counters on her you can swap the board around to control the field of an opponent (AND BLINK BACK YOUR OWN)

• Deadeye Navigator

This card can open up a lot of combo's, pair it with Peregrine Drake for infinite mana. People will probably resign if you manage to pair it with Perplexing Chimera and have mana open, meaning you can swap everything for just . If someone wants to destroy Deadeye or the paired creature, just blink it in response so it fizzles. The only thing where you can't react to is boardwipes.

• Felidar Guardian

Felidar felidar felidar.. do I need to say more? Felidar is Aminatou, the Fateshifter 's -1 ability on a creature! Means when Aminatou gets low on loyalty points? you can blink her back to +3 and utlize her loyality abilities a second time if you used it before casting Felidar Guardian. If you happen to have a Altar of the Brood on the board then; congratulations, you have won the game.

• Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Gary is already a very powerful card, what if we could blink it? One time I managed to drain every opponent for 15 lives in one single turn while gain 45.

• Spark Double

Almost everytime I play Spark Double , I copy my trusty commander . Spark Double enters with an additional +1 loyalty so that's nice to have, he/she's closer to ult than your original. And what's even greater? since Spark Double will be a copy of Aminatou he won't shift along the board when you pop that ult ;)

• Parallax Wave

All my friends hate this card, and for a good reason... the whole purpose of Parallax wave is to band up your creatures (4 max) and blink Parallax in and out with a single -1 loyalty ability of Aminatou . All of your permanents enter the battlefield again and you can do it again if you like. Be sure the fading counters don't run out or you have to sacrifice Parralax Wave. But did you know you can technically exile any commander on instant speed with this card? and poof away attack creatures? tokens won't even come back. People DON'T like this card and you SHOULD put this in your Aminatou Deck.

• Puca's Mischief

Puca's Mischief let's you swap permanents on the board, fun thing is: we can blink those permanents back to our control with Aminatou

• Altar of the Brood

Altar of the Brood is your combo piece for the infinite mill's, be sure to not cast this gem too quickly without a Felidar Guardian or it might get destroyed and you would lose one of your precious win cons

• Panharmonicon

If this artifact stays on the board; the value will be immense.

• Wishclaw Talisman
_Look up a card for free, blink it back with Aminatou and do it again!_

WIP

How do we plan to win?

The deck relies heavy on controlling the board and finishing off with a combo / lock, and therefore: patience is key. If you go off too quickly you may be aggro'd and unable to reach a state where you can't win anymore. So wait for the right moment and seize victory!
