Strategy
Aminatou is a control-focused planeswalker that leverages her blink ability to generate value and control the board. Her +1 lets you smooth your draws while setting up your library, but the real power is in her −1, which exiles and returns permanents under your control—this triggers ETB effects, resets creatures, dodges removal, and even resets planeswalkers. You'll build around creatures and permanents with strong enter-the-battlefield abilities, turning Aminatou into a value engine that generates incremental advantage every turn.
The deck wins through consistent value accumulation and tempo advantage rather than one big turn. By blinking creatures like Soulherder, Ephemerate-style effects, and permanents repeatedly, you create a grinding advantage that builds into an unstoppable board position. Your opponents will struggle to remove threats faster than you rebuild them. The −6 ultimate is a fun finisher if the game goes long, but most wins come from simply having more resources and better answers than your opponents.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip expensive planeswalkers and mana rocks—build on cheap ETB creatures (Mulldrifter, Soulherder, Vesperlark) and budget blink spells like Ephemerate and Displace instead of Solitude and Fury.
