Aminatou, the Fateshifter is a versatile commander but clearly lends herself to an ETB-centric blink strategy.

Aminatou is still a fairly new introduction to the MTG universe. We don't know a ton about her yet but she's said to be quite powerful with an ability to alter reality itself. I wanted to create a deck with a powerful late game to mirror her lore, but which is still fun to play against. I've ended up with a work in progress that takes advantage of all of Aminatou's loyalty abilities, but is built toward infinite blink combos. I'm interested in cheating around paying mana costs, and want to be able to play on the stack with instants.

Aminatou, the Fateshifter with Felidar Guardian , Panharmonicon , and Knight-Captain of Eos is a 4 card combo that creates an infinite army of 1/1 Soldier tokens that will likely win you the game if you can protect them for a turn. Oath of Teferi , & Spark Double offer other combinations of getting there.

Peregrine Drake or Palinchron combined with Ghostly Flicker can generate infinite mana if you can recur the Ghostly Flicker either with Archaeomancer , Mnemonic Wall , or Salvager of Secrets . Omniscience or infinite mana allow for tutoring into infinite combos all in one turn if you can get a Mastermind's Acquisition or Diabolic Tutor into your hand. Aminatou is supposed to be very powerful so I feel Omniscience is on theme. Dump that mana into a huge Entreat the Angels to win by Angel swarm beatdown. If you've +1'd Teferi, Time Raveler and can combo on the end step prior to your turn and the board would be forced to have an instant speed respones to your Angel army.

To play around indestructible effects I mostly have exile or bounce to hand removal. The bounce to hand synergizes with Aminatou's ultimate loyalty ability because it allows you to recover your creatures from an opponents control. Deciding whether to try and go for her ultimate is part of the fun of the deck. It's not necessary for victory but can be very fun or powerful depending on the board state. Deepglow Skate makes it much easier to hit Aminatou's ultimate, maybe even multiple times a game.

Aminatou's +1, Brainstorm , Lim-Dul's Vault , and other top deck manipulation allow setting up for a powerful Aminatou's Augury . An amazing line to hit is to Aminatou's Augury into casting Omniscience plus some ETB or tutors into your combo.

Eerie Interlude is there as a response to board wipes more than offensive use, but the ETB effects of a bunch of creatures can be a huge swing. Parallax Wave is there to allow for similar opportunities. Wave can also be used to delay problems of certain dangerous creatures.

Primordial Mist works well with the top deck manipulation and blinking to allow you to cheat high CMC cards into play without paying their mana costs or allowing the opportunity to counter them. Blink a manifested face down Omniscience for big value.
