Deck overview

This deck is an Esper blink and control deck led by Aminatou, the Fateshifter. It uses Aminatou's −1 loyalty ability to repeatedly reset enter-the-battlefield triggers, reclaim donated permanents, and cycle through utility cards. The early game focuses on deploying two-mana artifact ramp and establishing card advantage engines using Mulldrifter, Aether Channeler, and Wishclaw Talisman, which can be activated and immediately blinked back to your control. During the mid-to-late game, the deck pivots toward attrition and theft, resolving cards such as Agent of Treachery, Dragonlord Silumgar, and Angel of Despair to systematically dismantle opposing game plans. It also features a robust graveyard recursion suite with Reanimate, Karmic Guide, and Sun Titan to recover key threats. Victory is ultimately achieved by seizing opponents' best permanents, assembling evasive combat pressure backed by Eldrazi Monument, or casting a game-swinging Living Death.
