Hey, nice upgrades of the precon and keeping the overall deck price under $100 is impressive.

Arcane Signet is a budget staple of Commander that you should strongly consider adding in place of Sphere of the Suns . The deathtouch theme looks out of place/used as filler from the all the other cards that show me that you do have good card sense on a budget. The deathtouch theme isn't needed here as it's not giving bonus interaction with Aminatou's blink or draw/put card on top of library.

Some creatures with deathtouch are good such as Baleful Strix and Gonti, Lord of Luxury , but these cards are good not because they have deathtouch instead because they do something when they enter the battlefield (ETB) which blinking them gives you more value. The deathtouch is a nice bonus, but it's not needed.

The card spots that are being used by Mardu Hateblade , Alchemist's Gift , Coat with Venom , High Priest of Penance , Tidehollow Strix and Gifted Aetherborn could be replaced with more permanents that have interaction with Aminatou, blink or cards with miracle.

• Felidar Guardian
• Oath of Kaya
• Reality Acid
• Omen of the Sea
• Solemn Simulacrum
• Ravenous Chupacabra
• Brainstorm

Felidar Guardian + Aminatou is a combo to infinite blink Guardian and Aminatou since when you blink Aminatou with Guardian a new object of Aminatou ETB which lets you use it's -1 loyalty ability again to blink Guardian who then again blinks Aminatou and repeat. If you add Oath of Teferi then each time you -1 loyalty Aminatou you can do it again thus you can blink two permanents with each Aminatou. The first being any other permanent you control which can be a win condition and the second is Guardian and repeat.

• Oath of Kaya do 3 damage as many times as you need to each opponent.
• Gonti, Lord of Luxury to exile all your opponents libraries.
• Reality Acid or Angel of Despair to destroy all your opponents permanents.

---

Other good interactions with Aminatou + Felidar Guardian + Oath of Teferi :

• Peregrine Drake is infinite mana.
• Baleful Strix , Omen of the Sea or Mulldrifter is draw as many cards you want or draw Peregrine, cast it and then draw Oath to win.
• Solemn Simulacrum is put all basic lands in your library onto the battlefield tapped.
• Ravenous Chupacabra or Massacre Wurm is kill all your opponents creatures.

If interested I offer more advice including some budget land upgrades. Would you like more help? Good luck with your deck.

Braids is always fun! Considering that braids empties your hand pretty quick, consider adding a bit more draw effects than a normal deck might have. Blue Sun's Zenith is a good way to make use of a lot of mana, or creatures with draw effects like Mulldrifter . You can put mulldrifter into play with braids, but also have the flexibility to play it as a Divination .

I have replaced Drogskol Reaver , Horizon Chimera , and Laboratory Maniac with Elvish Visionary , Mulldrifter , and Yasharn, Implacable Earth , which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.62 to 3.57, which is great. While those three cards did provide an alternate win condition, that combo was too mana-intensive to execute reliably. I actually am contemplating replacing Yasharn with teleportation circle from the upcoming Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set, but I shall need to wait and see how well the deck performs after this most recent modification.

Grubbernaut thanks for the upvote! Generally what you said is true, but for this deck I beg to differ. Think Twice is always card advantage while Frantic Inventory , which draws more cards if you can cast all four, has to be drawn at multiple times to get the advantage. Plus if you have to discard Think Twice to Forbidden Alchemy you can still flashback it, plus having one in the gy you can do cool stuff like play Mortuary Mire a Mulldrifter and get it back by flashbacking Think Twice it if you have the mana, or get back a Gurmag Angler . This deck is mostly a "draw, land, go" kind of deck so the flashback cost isn't an issue. Curse of the Bloody Tome is a bad card generally, but it works in this deck because, as I said, many turns are just waiting for stuff to counter and having a passive wincon is cool. Plus you can discard it to Forbidden Alchemy . On MTGO it also has the advantage that if you play it on the first round by turn three, people will scoop because they aren't ready for a mill deck, side out removal for enchantment hate, and get stomped by Gurmag Angler . Cast Down I agree, but until they ban Chatterstorm you need ways to sweep by turn two. Plus against boros you can sweep First Day of Class buffed birds which is nice, and two Suffocating Fumes is necessary to survive against elves.

Thought Monitor is the new hotness; definitely recommend a playset if you can afford. 1-mana Mulldrifter is just... really good.

FormOverFunction It is true that sea creatures always seem to come up short. The Peer Through Time precon featuring Teferi, Temporal Archmage ironically was filled with sea creatures (people joked it was a green deck painted blue), but Teferi was hardly an inspiring commander for that deck and much more suited to being degenerate elsewhere. Then we got a sea-loving planeswalker in Kiora, but she wasn't ever going to serve as a commander for obvious reasons and catered towards big creatures. While Mulldrifter isn't technically a fish, maybe they could make a commander inspired by him, and reprint Mystic Remora in the precon while they're at it!

Damn I really be seeing this everywhere now.

I built a similar type deck around this that ended up turning into Blokes. After playtesting it a few times, one thing stood out, which is that the combo is ridiculously inconsistent. I like how you have some other bouncable creatures for a plan B, but a lot of the cards just aren't great with cloudshift/ephemerate. I tested Silverquill Silencer and I was really disappointed, so I'd probably cut that. I had high hopes for Tidehollow Sculler , and it's a solid card by itself, plus it can combo with cloudshift/ephemerate right when it enters but after that its a pretty terrible flicker target.

I would probably go more towards an evoke flicker direction, since evoke cards combo really well with cloud/eph. I suggest cutting Skyclave Apparition for Shriekmaw , since Shriek+eph costs the same as a skyclave and kills 3 creatures without giving the opponent any creature tokens. I also suggest going into esper colors just because Mulldrifter is really great card advantage ( Subtlety sucks here though obviously).

Honestly, I doubt this kind of deck can ever be competitive, but for now its some fun jank. Happy brewing, I'm looking forward to what you can do with this :)

Pikobyte yeah I think it will be fun! My first thought was evoking Mulldrifter and then playing it from the graveyard later and Shriekmaw too.
