Brago with some cooler additions. I’ve been experimenting with Aminatou, the Fateshifter for some time now and I have to say that she seems a lot more useful and powerful in a blink-oriented deck.

Our main plan at the beginning is to get serious card advantage with board presence. We are also using a lot of early hand disruption and cheap counterspells to get rid of our opponent’s early threats.

Later in the game we use Big Things Blinked Alot Of Times as our main wincon. Basically every card that we blink in this deck gets us huge value. With either Sidisi, Undead Vizier or Rune-Scarred Demon’s tutor ability we are able to fetch Altar of the Brood and Felidar Guardian for a quick infinite combo (if they don’t have Emrakul, but she isn’t played as much so I guess you’re fine)

Although the commander is the Legendary 8 year old, the real MVP of this deck is Brago, King Eternal. Getting him out fast grants us the ability to abuse all triggers basically every turn (and actually every turn when paired with Whirler Rogue), which grants us a giant advantage.

Aminatou, the Fateshifter + Ghostway is just another sneaky combo that you can pull off to perform what we call a “GTB” (Grand Theft of Board) It’ll only work if you manage to not blink or get your Aminatou killed for four turns, so let’s consider that impossible.

The main “game plan” is not as complicated as it seems. Most of the Creatures with Great ETBs that we play generate value without blinking so I guess you can get to the win by just playing a simple, kind of midrange-y strategy.
