Aminatou unorthodox tech

Commander Deck Help forum

So, I've been tinkering with the Aminatou commander deck for a few months and ive got it pretty close to where I want it. One major downside to esper is the lack of non artifact, land based ramping (a la Cultivate or Rampant Growth etc.) I have Solemn Simulacrum and Druidic Satchel but I had an idea for Aminatou to use the cards Political Trickery and Vedalken Plotter in combination with Aminatou's -1 and other flickerers in tandem to have them work as land ramp via theft of opponents. Is this something worth trying or too gimmicky for viability

Your theft idea works but it is ridiculously slow. Try some of these.

Dreamscape Artist, Pitiless Plunderer, Revel in Riches, Treasure Map  Flip, Sword of the Animist.

There are a lot of things that you could use besides those but most of them only produce black mana like Crypt Ghast.

For my Aminatou, the Fateshifter deck I also run Knight of the White Orchid, Boreas Charger, and Oreskos Explorer. Maybe not the best but I like on-theme ramp and card draw

An old question, but if you want mana ramp, take a look at Parallax Tide . Not only can you get 4 land taps out of it before you flicker it, but you could also use it offensively.
