    [EDH] Aminatou, the Fateshifter

    Commander 2018 is overall pretty underwhelming, but I still think Aminatou, the Fateshifter is an interesting card. I brewed this list up to give her a try:

    I know that Terminus is more or less a shoe-in for a deck like this, but it's actively against my "flickering creatures for fun and profit" plan. It might still end up being worth it, though...so it's definitely on my radar.

    As far as winning the game, you can go infinite with Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Felidar Guardian and Vela, the Night-Clad. I thought about adding in Altar of the Brood as an alternative to Vela, but it's pretty mediocre without Felidar Guardian, and it's also soft to any sort of eldrazi titan or similar card that shuffles the graveyard into the library.

    The other sort of neat thing this deck does is abuse Gilded Drake and Puca's Mischief. Trade something, then use Aminatou or Venser to blink your thing back and still keep theirs.

    Another neat trick is Reality Acid, as blinking it short circuits the vanishing and gets rid of problematic permanents. Plus, the permanent is sacrificed, which is pretty relevant vs. some decks.

    Finally, there's Entreat the Angels and Entreat the Dead as miracle pay off cards.

    Suggestions are always welcome
