Really would like some help with this - need to trim from 102 to 100 and balance.

Basic idea - want to use Aminatou, the Fateshifter as the commander for a Facedown / Flicker deck to create value by playing our expensive cards face down (morph, cloak, maniest, manifest dread) and then flickering them to come back face up or turning them faceup directly.

Note while some things like draw seem light, flickering in general Dour Port-Mage or flickering specific artiacts Confounding Conundrum or Cryogen Relic is part of the continued draw plan. They Came from the Pipes also helps while additionally manifesting cards.

Note that we have several ways to get opponents' cards facedown under our control - The Cyber-Controller, Ghastly Conscription, Thieving Amalgam. If we can flicker them and have them come back UNDER OUR CONTROL (not owner's control) we can now control their creatures face up - Conjurer's Closet, Cloudshift or even Primordial Mist if we have the right mana. Or, we can turn the directly faceup under out control via Ixidor, Reality Sculptor or Etrata, Deadly Fugitive.

We can use Hidden Retreat and Penance for evasion, but also for top decking the right card(s) to cloak, manifest or manifest dread.

Amulet of Vigor is in there to allow flickering of many of our lands for advantage while not having them come in tapped.

Ideas on how to make this better? Cards I'm missing?
