How it grades
Fundamentals 62/100.
No single established archetype dominates. This is its own brew around Aminatou, the Fateshifter, so the fundamentals below carry the grade. Aminatou, the Fateshifter sits on the cEDH tier list, so the ceiling here is tournament-grade, and experienced tables will treat it that way. Its strongest fundamental is land count (40 lands. About 41 fits this curve); the first thing to tighten is commander synergy: Only 7 of 59 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want card-draw, enters-the-battlefield support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Blink; from EDHREC).

Where it falls short
- BMana reliability81% of your spells arrive on time. Entreat the Dead is the riskiest: its B cost is heavy for this mana base, so expect it several turns late.
- BMana curve24% of spells cost ≤2, 22% cost 6+.
- B+Ramp10 ramp effects (want 12+ for this curve).
- FCommander synergyOnly 7 of 59 spells play into your commanders' plan; they want card-draw, enters-the-battlefield support. Counts the builds players run with your commanders (Blink; from EDHREC).
- BCard qualityMedian EDHREC rank #6,477
Strong on land count, card draw, interaction, win conditions and legality & size.
