Considering Draining Whelk
Been playing this list all weekend. The deck is VERY fun and very resilient. The only downside I have noticed is that it relies on the commander a lot. It can still function without the commander but it slows down considerably.

tfitch: Hey..glad it's working out for ya. I've build this deck with the ability to be played without Aminatou herself, you just have to tutor aggressively for the engine. The following are flicker engines that could reduce the reliance on Aminatou:
-
Archaeomancer/Salvager of Secrets + Ghostly Flicker (this is my favorite engine as you can flicker at instant speed anytime)
Alternatively, if Aminatou accrues too much commander tax, letting her go to the GY and getting her back with Emeria Shepherd is viable. Hope this helps!

Archaeomancer and conjurer's closet were life savers on a few games. I also subbed in Palinchon for a few games with excellent results. Venser, in my meta, is hated on immediately so I didn't get to use him all that much. Good call with the Emeria Shepherd!

I mean for Eldrazi Displacer, the dual-painlands, HOU pain lands, and a couple 5 color painlands lands are all untapped colored mana producers that can also produce colorless, if you want.
The ones for this deck are as follows: Adarkar Wastes, Underground River, Caves of Koilos, Shefet Dunes, Ipnu Rivulet, Ifnir Deadlands, Grand Coliseum (not untapped sadly), and Tarnished Citadel

SynergyBuild: Thanks for the suggestions. I'm still debating its inclusion and whether it's worth it.

How often does the life gain from cloudblazer matter? (deciding between it and Mulldrifter)

NeonEndymion: I'll probably try to document my playtesting and changelog in more details in the next update. Thanks!
