Aminatou's Butterfly Effect

A child draws a line in the mud with a stick, and worlds away, an empire crumbles from the inside. The right person pricks their finger on a thorn, and a thousand years their blood is what kills a god. A weaver plucks a string of fate and takes a life, a butterfly flaps its wings and a plane turns to chalk and dust in the wake of eldritch being.

Aminatou sees all the twists and turns of fate. The layout of destinies is like a landscape for her, and the little girls skips across the tapestries of fate, pulling threads and toying with the flow of how all will be. One touch of one of her magic moths can change a life as she wishes, and the capricious nature of a child wielding all of possibility as her plaything is a true, unpredictable wonder. For who knows what a child will do with the universe...

Aminatou's Butterfly Effect is an altered version of the C18 Aminatou deck, with added focus on top-deck manipulation and flicker effects to upskill the pre-con a step.

• Added powerful ETB effect creatures like the primordials and Demonlord Belzenlok for Aminatou to flicker for greater effect.
• A couple of other planeswalkers and Oath of Teferi to take advantage of having a planeswalker as a commander.

Featured Combos:*

• Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Felidar Guardian + Oath of Teferi (infinite flicker of any other card)
• Conjurer's Closet + Mulldrifter (classic beastly repeating card draw)
