Subjective Rebuild - 11 is a Dozen Right?

Commander / EDH* Superfriends WUB (Esper)

Nibbith


Work in Progress rebuild for Aminatou Esper deck.

Will update description later. I know Altar of the Brood would be an easy win con. I don't want that, I have a mill deck.

Deck Features 11 PWs. Commander Aminatou, the Fateshifter, 10 other PWs cause 11 is a dozen when you are eight and bend reality.

Deepglow Skate, Contagion Engine, Contagion Clasp, Tezzeret's Gambit, Inexorable Tide, Steady Progress and Oath of Gideon help ramp up the loyalty counters. Forge of Heroes helps Aminatou and Oath of Teferi will indirectly boost loyalty, while increasing effectiveness.

Azor, the Lawbringer, Narset Transcendent and Dovin Baan provide some control. With spot removal from Utter End, Mortify, Return to Dust, and Banishing Stroke. Board wipes Merciless Eviction, Devastation Tide, Evacuation and Terminus. Also Liliana, Death Wielder along with Contagions can give me some good spot removal too.

Arena Rector and Call the Gatewatch tutor some PWs. Diabolic Tutor can get me any needed piece.

Some blink/flicker effects from Aminatou herself, Venser, the Sojourner, Kaya, Ghost Assassin, Felidar Guardian, Flickerwisp, Momentary Blink Displace and Nephalia Smuggler. These can trigger different effects as needed.

Teferi's Protection and Sudden Disappearance combo off of Aminatou's Ult to rapidly improve my board state while blanking someone else. Magus of the Balance also combos off of either spell to wipe board states. Any of the decks board wipes could also be used in combo with these broad blinks. Tezzeret, Master of Metal can also be used to reacquire creatures and artifacts.

Notably I would need to have PWs at instant speed for Aminatou and Sudden to combo. Teferi, Temporal Archmage exists in part to accomplish this. I will happily cast him, blink Deepglow Skate, ult him and bury him for the emblem.

Miracle costs are of course part of the top deck design. I have 5 of the 7 Esper options. Also Yennett, Cryptic Sovereign can free cast and Sorin, Grim Nemesis can do damage based on top card CMC. One good card and Teferi's emblem can allow Sorin to devastate.

Jace, Architect of Thought provides some softening of opposing aggro, filtering and spell thievery. Gideon of the Trials can provide me with an extra body or defense. His emblem though is his reason for being, it might take a while to hit stride, and he can keep me in the game when all else fails.

Teferi, Temporal Archmage, Crystal Ball, Zhalfirin Void, Temple of Silence, Temple of Enlightenment and Temple of Deceit all scry and will help me cycle through my library. Sphinx of Jwar Isle will let me check later. And of course Aminatou can let me put what I want there. Tezzeret, Master of Metal should help me get to my artifacts too. Mana rocks and the contagions.

Lots of top deck manipulation Portent, Ponder Brainstorm, Telling Time and of course Aminatou. All of the Scry, Teferi, Narset and Sorin all interact with top deck.

The deck isn't really based on a single win con, or combo. It is meant to pump PWs and make craziness ensue. Obviously if I steal an opponents aggro board state I can just fight it out, but that might be the least fun option.
