My first Esper deck with the new planeswalker Aminatou. I liked what WOTC was going for with the Top Deck Matters theme and I wanted to improve that by piling on more of the Manifest sub-theme and tossing in some cards that can abuse or utilize her blinking ability. I'm also trying to keep most of the Win-Cons to also have an odd CMC or not blink based as so Yennet can be an alternate Commander should planeswalker removal or many combat based decks be present at a table.

Win-Cons include: Approach of the Second Sun: I chose this card as a potential win-con considering the many ways to dig/filter through the top of the library and quickly re-draw the card a second time for the win. Taigam, Ojutai Master will be a way to help ensure the card gets cast, but isnt needed unless a table runs a lot of counterspells

Aminatou, the Fateshifter, Altar of the Brood, Felidar Guardian infinite combo. This one is the typical win-con for this deck and I felt that I should include it as well. For those who don't know, you start by having Altar out, then you can either have the Guardian or Aminatou out, play whichever one isn't out and blink the one already in play. When the Guardian ETBs, target Aminatou, who will return and able to -1 to blink the cat, abd this goes on forever. With the Altar out you will mill out your opponents while you repeatedly blink.

Getting off a huge Entreat the Angels. I come from a background of hitting people in the face with creatures, I figured why not just let one of my win-cons be doing just that in a deck in which that isn't the playstyle? Pretty simple to see, just manipulate the top card so you can cast it for Miracle, and if you have Archaeomancer you can blink it to reuse Entreat the Angels again.

Will be updating the deck as I play it and how it works out, and any suggestions are fully welcomed!
