Lumbering Battlement from the new set should have a slot in this deck once it comes out I would imagine?

What about [Eyes Everywhere]? It can hit artifacts, enchantments and planeswalkers and is more difficult to remove. Also, if they don't have blue, they can't use the ability.

coolmaster82: Seems like a possible card to test out, although it is 5cmc which will add to the already cluttered 5cmc slots in my deck.

kirbysan: That card seems pretty good in Aminatou builts that leverage on donating/stealing stuff, unfortunately my build is more towards goodstuff/value flicker which would not benefit from it.

Have you thought about Psychic Battle and Reality Acid psychic battle basically makes you nearly impossible to target with aminatou and reality acid straight up murders any perm whether it has hexproof or not hope this helped.

What do you think of the new Lumbering Battlement ?

Odysseus_97: It fights with a similar spot in my deck ( Parallax Wave ) but I think it warrens testing since it turns Aminatou into a pseudo-brago in a sense that you can blink all creatures at once. The value is definitely there.

Can you explain the Aminatou + Clever Impersonator + emeria shepherd combo? I'm apparently not understanding.

How has Spellseeker performed?

5/11 of its targets are tutors where 4 of those tutors puts the card on top of the library. 2 spot removal, 2 counters, 1 mass removal and 1 deck filter.

It has been quite underwhelming for me, and might consider replacing it with something else like Palinchron , Sepulchral Primordial or Brago, King Eternal .

Also, is Arcane Denial worth it for the single card draw compared to a clean Counterspell ?

blindes1984: You need a plains that can come in untapped and Emeria + Aminatou in play for the combo to work:

1. Tap plains to float one mana
2. Cast Clever Impersonator copying Aminatou (which will put Aminatou into the gy due to legend rule)
3. Use cloned Aminatou to blink plains to bring back real Aminatou (which will put Clever Impersonator into gy due to legend rule)
4. Go back to step 1. and repeat ad infinitum to generate infinite mana of the color the plains can tap for and infinite ETBs

Odysseus_97: Spellseeker has been pretty good so far for me due to the increased in consistency from the tutor effects. However I can see cutting it out eventually and making room for other toys. I'm actually debating adding Hostage Taker back as early game theft effect for my opponent's mana rocks to ramp me further. I do like arcane denial and has mana drain in place of counterspell. The additional card is important to me and is worth the downside in a multiplayer game.

Parallax Wave is a game changer. So much value!!

Enral, how have you dealt with green-heavy ramp decks? I'm having trouble providing enough answers.

kirbysan: I've played against an Azusa deck before and basically you want to tutor and setup your board proactively when the mono green player is ramping early to mid game. Anti-creature engine like Ravenous Chupacabra / Knight-Captain of Eos / Ixidron is key in keeping mono green decks under control. Hope that helps!

EnralHmm, I see. Maybe I just had a bad game because I wasn't able to hit any of my tutors early on. Do you typically mull until you have at least one fetch?

kirbysan: I usually try to mull to get a draw/ramp/tutor in my hand. The most important thing is to be proactive in order to get value out of our engine.

Can I recommend you test out Portcullis ?

Ingraved: That card is awesome and seems like a good fit for the deck. I will have to test that one out, thanks!

With the new "Oath of Kaya" being spoiled. What's your take on possibly cutting out Kaya, Ghost Assassin ? If not what would you possibly consider to change it out with?

Klancik That card is definitely something I am thinking of testing out but I think Kaya is still pretty good so I will have to find another card to replace. There's also Spark Double that I definitely will be including here that goes infinite with many things in this deck.

I was just thinking, would Rings of Brighthearth be a worthwhile addition? With Aminatou, the Fateshifter and any land or artifact that taps for 2 or more mana you get infinite etb triggers from repeatedly flickering Aminatou and copying her ability for the mana producer.

I may be overlooking, but is parallax wave to get your own things back if someone else exiled your things?

Not necessarily a flicker target, but the new God-Eternal Kefnet goes infinite with Aminatou, the Fateshifter and Temporal Manipulation

God-Eternal Kefnet would also play your flicker spells and such twice, as well as any tutors. Overloading a cyclonic Rift for 7 also doesnt sound that bad

Good call on God-Eternal Kefnet . The only only problem I see is that although it goes infinite, by itself it is not amazing in my creature heavy and spell light build. I'll have to modify my list a little and test kefnet out. Thanks Klancik.
