Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait Precon

Format: Commander

Commander: Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait is a Simic landfall value engine, granting an extra land drop and a card off every land. The deck's plan is to ramp into Aesi, then use extra-land effects and landfall multipliers to bury opponents in resources and creatures. Ancient Greenwarden and Traveling Chocobo double landfall triggers, while Avenger of Zendikar, Rampaging Baloths, and Scute Swarm turn those triggers into an enormous board. Typically the deck wins with a single overrun turn from Craterhoof Behemoth or Finale of Devastation at X 10, which also grants haste. Secondary paths include stealing creatures with Roil Elemental, bouncing the table with Scourge of Fleets, or chaining Walk the Aeons with land recursion. Aesi is essential but not the sole engine: Tatyova, Benthic Druid, Azusa, Lost but Seeking, and Exploration provide backup redundancy.
