Aminatou, the Fateshifter is pretty wild, and creates infinite enter the battlefield triggers with Felidar Guardian. We can really make that combo awesome by using cards like Altar of the Brood, Oath of Teferi, and Panharmonicon. This little guy can be built in many ways, and I love non-linear commanders. I tried mixing most of those ideas together by adding flicker synergy through fun cards like Reflector Mage or Wishclaw Talisman and by using cards that benefit from top-deck manipulation like Liliana Vess or Sorin, Grim Nemesis. I found that planeswalkers work exceptionally well with flicker effects, so I crammed a bunch of those in. Turns out, my combo pieces like Felidar Guardian and Oath of Teferi work very well with all of these strategies, so that is very cool. Besides that, we run Esper control and a bunch of board wipes, which slows the game down to our pace and ensures that our combo can be executed unimpeded. This deck started as a very budget deck from the precon, but I've heavily upgraded it to the point that it is mostly unrecognizable. However, it still has budget elements because I can't afford stuff like card:Jace, the Mindsculptor, even though they would go perfectly with this deck. Maybe one day...

Please leave an upvote or a comment if you enjoy the deck! I really need that external validation.
