Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Aminatou's Contingency Plan is my preferred way to play this commander. The deck itself isn't all-in on any one strategy, and is capable of winning without Aminatou even entering the board - though she does facilitate every strategy present. This deck might win one game through a straight Construct beatdown, the next with some Planeswalker board lock, draining away life totals with token creation/sacrifice, or dragging legendary permanents back from exile, where my opponents thought they were safely gone.\n"}]}
