The Last Ancient (Easy-Going) by true gambler

Format: Commander

Commander: Aerith, Last Ancient

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Selesnya life-gain/counter midrange deck built around Aerith, Last Ancient. It wins by triggering life gain every turn, then converting that life into +1/+1 counters (Lathiel, Cleric Class, Basri) and card draw (Haliya, Dawn of Hope). Torens and various token makers create a wide board; the finishing alpha uses flying from Basri's ultimate or The Wind Crystal. Aerith acts as repeatable recursion rather than a required engine-she needs both life gain and a creature in the graveyard. There is no double-faced commander in the list, so only Aerith's front face needs consideration; Haliya, Guided by Light serves as the deck's hidden secondary engine.
