Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait by Meecrob

Format: Commander

Commander: Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Aesi is a single-faced commander and the deck's primary draw engine; every extra land drop becomes a card. The main plan is to ramp into Aesi early, chain additional land plays with Exploration, Azusa, Oracle of Mul Daya, and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove, then convert landfall into creatures through Scute Swarm, Rampaging Baloths, Avenger of Zendikar, and Greensleeves. The usual finish is Craterhoof Behemoth or Finale of Devastation overrunning a wide board; oversized land-scaled creatures such as Ashaya, Cultivator Colossus, Multani, and Greensleeves can also close games. Kodama of the East Tree acts as a hidden secondary engine, turning landfall tokens and bounce lands into explosive permanent chains.
