Enter The Battlefield Loops-

Using Aminatou’s -1 ability, we can flicker Felidar Guardian and when it comes back into play, it flickers Aminatou and resets it, allowing you to use its -1 ability again! This can be repeated infinite times and will generate infinite enter the battlefield triggers.

We can use Spark Double as a backup combo piece for Felidar Guardian, just choose Aminatou as the target. Since it comes in as a non-legendary copy it won’t die to state based actions like other clones.

We can also use Restoration Angel to generate infinite etb triggers. It can even be flashed in on an opponent’s end step, then you can untap and cast Felidar Guardian , and target the resto with the Felidar’s etb ability. This will create an infinite loop of etbs.

Chain Veil or Oath of Teferi Combo- After setting up one of the ETB loops, using The Chain Veil one time will allow us to have 2 activations of Aminatou every time it blinks in. Alternatively, you can also just have Oath of Teferi in play. First, you can double-blink felidar using one of the triggers to untap any land and the other to continue to ETB loop. This will generate infinite mana of any color. If you don’t have access to Felidar Guardian you can use Spark Double instead. You can continue the chain by drawing your deck using Felidar or Spark Double activations to blink Baleful Strix to draw your library followed by Gray Merchant of Asphodel for infinite life loss and life gain.

ETB loops Combo Enablers-

Altar of the Brood will mill out your opponents assuming they don’t have a shuffle eldrazi.

Corpse Knight will deal infinite damage using its enter the battlefield trigger

Value Plays- Aminatou, Brainstorm , and Sensei's Divining Top can setup the two miracle cards in the deck Temporal Mastery,or Terminus which is great against indestructible creatures or if the board gets out of control so you can bottom everything, thus protecting your creatures that may be in play but also removing all opponents threats.

Lavinia of the Tenth can be flickered with the generals -1 ability to keep the board in check while setting up

Reality Acid can be used to destroy opponents permanents every time you make it blink out of play. When it comes back in, attach it to another one of your opponents permanents. If you have double triggers from The Chain Veil or Oath of Teferi you can remove your opponents entire board!! Since it’s enchant permanent you can also destroy all their lands with this.

You can also reset Mystic Remora's age counters to keep it around longer by using Aminatou's -1, or one of the other ways to blink it in the deck.
