Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a classic Simic landfall value deck helmed by Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait. The plan is to ramp aggressively, stack extra land-drop effects, and convert every landfall trigger into cards, tokens, and mana. Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is the primary engine-extra land drops plus a free card per land-but the 99 backs him up with Azusa, Lost but Seeking, Exploration, Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, and Oracle of Mul Daya. Wins come from overwhelming combat: exponential tokens via Scute Swarm, Rampaging Baloths, Avenger of Zendikar, and Greensleeves, Maro-Sorcerer, closed by Craterhoof Behemoth or Finale of Devastation. Secondary lines include Kodama of the East Tree + Field of the Dead loops and Meloku the Clouded Mirror bounce engines. The deck plays as a snowballing midrange machine that turns excess lands into an insurmountable board.
