Got Aesi in 2021 for my birthday and it’s been the best thing that has ever happened to me in my magic life. Running cards like vorinclex, void winneror, ulamog, God-Pharaoh's Statue, Narset partner of veils, hullbreaker, omniscience, seedborn, temur sabor tooth. a lot of removal and counter spells. Love Simic Value. 💙💚
Aesi is one of my favorite decks to play. I would highly suggest no maximum hand size cards as a first upgrade if possible. Reliquary tower, decanter of endless waters, thought vessel, etc.
Aesi is my Ace in the Hole. I use cards like Sakishima to copy Aeisi and just draw until I deck out but becuase I have Jace Weilder of Mysteries on the field, I automatically win. Also if you use Ramunap Excavator and you have 3 Aesis out, you can play up to 8 lands a turn so long as you have Terramorphic or Wilds.
Aesi.. so classic. Used to play it out of the box against my cousins real decks and it got rolled so hard we used to joke that the picture wasn’t to scale and Aesi was just a tiny fish in Urza’s aquarium. Then I upgraded him..
I play Collective voyage in my aesi deck it is a good persuasion card. Some of these cards I'll have to look at adding to my aesi deck I'm still leaning towards the sea monster tribal cuz big beefy monsters. And I added eldrazi monument and bearscape for the late game making my creatures harder to deal with and making use of my discard pile by making sac outlets to keep it around
I do really like your Aesi deck, which for its budget is pretty damn good. It would be great if there was just a bit more varied spot removal, but there is clearly a strong board clear element, some of which pulls double duty as protection for your commander. Other than my preference for a little bit more removal and some more varied spot removal, I see what you've done with a lower budget and can see this deck doing quite well against other decks built on a higher budget.
The precon comes with a pretty nasty combo (if you have the mana for it), whelming wave to bounce the board then reclamation sage to get whelming wave back and do it again.
Minor note for journey to the oracle: you have to discard a card before the draw triggers from your commander will resolve. Still amazing, but important to note
At long last you see the value of Jadzi! Saints be praised! Her back spell is a pseudo-Fastbond! This deck is insane, putting Tatyova into the deck is an awesome move, but to call her a pig is an insult, pigs tend to chew... Look to Soratami Mirror-Mage and Soratami Seer for added land-based effects. You can cycle through your deck with Seer and can combo Bounce and Landfall abilities with Mirror-Mage, and make targets for the Patron of the Moon!
It can be a pain to deal with. Mine is high powered. I'm running most of the fast mana rocks. A lot of reactions and counter spells. Big scary things like vorinclex, void winnower, ulamog, God-Pharaoh's Statue, Narset partner of veils, hullbreaker, omniscience, seedborn and temur sabortooth. Asei is the definition of Simic Value. Asei is scary when built right.
I would look into scute swarm for this. Whenever you have 6 or more lands in play. It creates another copy of itself. Thwn those coppies make coppies. And then more coppies of those. And then more. And it keeps doubling until you have hundreds. If not. Thousands of scute swarm creatures. Not to mention cards that can give those all counters
Soratami Rainshaper is very good in this deck, as well as Soratami Savant, and Uyo Silent Prophet. All 3 are dirt cheap and any of them are better than Patron of the Moon by far.
There is an infinite mana combo with this commander but it's like very specific. You need lotus cobra, that blue enchantment that landfalls to untapped a creature, any creature that taps to let you play a land from your hand, and simic growth chamber Edit: if you do get this combo off have a laboratory maniac in your deck cause each time that land etbs you draw a card and you can just draw your way to victory
There are some more ways enabling an infinite mana combo. Just mentioning some: Kodama of the East Tree + Trench Behemoth + Rampaging Baloths/Scute Swarm/Tireless Provisioner/Tireless Tracker (all on field) + Land in Hand Retreat to Coralhelm + Scaled Herbalist (or any other permanent that can tap to put a land into play) + Trench Behemoth + 1 Land (all on field) Besides infinite mana they also give infinite Landfall/EtB Triggers, so You can cast Aesi, then draw Your deck. Most Combinations can at least give You infinite Landfall/EtB Triggers or infinite Creature Tokens. You can also add combo pieces to get Infinite Turns.
Aesi is just really fun no matter who you are. Extra lands and insane card draw allows you to do so many things that there really isn't a way for it to be fun.
Anyone’s opinion on why to run this over Tatyova, Benthic Druid? Sure I get the additional land, but it’s one extra mana, and it doesn’t trample which I personally feel should be somewhere on the card. He a big boi
Depending on what deck your opponents run a Jaheira's Respite can either be pretty good or absolutely overwhelming. Just be careful you don't deck yourself out
Bro you good? You are releasing a lot in the last few days. Please make sure you’re making time for yourself. We care about you my man, and would hate to see you get burnt out
Aesi was one of the commanders I wanted to build for a long time, so thanks Mitch! May I also ask a deck tech on Obuun? I'm really struggling to find a way to build it.
Run mean stuff. I run hullbreaker, omniscience, ulamog, void winneror, narset partner of veils, seedborn, God-Pharaoh's Statue, temur sabor tooth, vorinclex. A lot of removal and counter spells. Aesi has so much ramp and card draw you can play an ulamog so fast and other big scary things.
too slow, she can't pay her own commander tax like aesi, that additional land drop is better when trying to keep up or get faster than everyone else. life is a resource.
My first precon. I ended up dismantling it because it was too boring. Every game was just ramp, draw, ramp, draw, ramp, draw, SEA MONSTERS. I have since rebuilt it with some of the best cards and now it's one of my strongest, most consistent decks. Still pretty boring tho.

I love aesi so much. My first pre-con and my first pre-con upgrade
Same and same :) It's very simple but very effective!
Same to both as well, love my landfall deck and my friends have banned me from using it because I upgraded it too much lol.
Aesi was my first commander. Love this!
Yoooo same bro
Ya me too....my lil bro got me the precon on xmas to get me into commander...
Same!
Same here!!!
Been using this as my main deck for 2 years now I think it has multiple was to win by decking myself
Simic Land Snake does Simic things. I approve.
Not a *Land* snake. It's a sea serpent. 🐍
I love Aesi :) the only deck that i've played out of the box and had interactions during the whole game, really great design.
Me oh my! I have rocked my Aesi deck for about 2 years now. So nice to see a budget version I can play with my friends!
I love this commander. Literally the embodiment of blue and green
I like that you are taking another look at Commander that have been released for a while and doing new strats for them! appreciated!

Omniscience is bs. Unfun card
@@shidiwen1407 that’s fair. But that’s your opinion. I love omniscience.
Aesi is one of my favorite decks to play. I would highly suggest no maximum hand size cards as a first upgrade if possible. Reliquary tower, decanter of endless waters, thought vessel, etc.
kruphix, god of horizons is another one aswell, cool card and pretty cheap
Just made this deck last week and played a couple rounds with it. Tons of fun. Love your Deck Tech content!

I JUST built a Tatyova deck, and it looks VERY similar to this deck. Glad to know it's Mitch approved!
Aesi was my first ever precon I bought when I got into MTG
Built an aesi deck during COVID and quickly grew it to be one of my favorite decks. Also only paid $20 for the prebuilt deck from commander legends
Absolutely love my aesi deck! My friends now target me hard when they see I’m playing it and it still performs. My win rate with it is pretty insane.
Just built a deck around this. Glad yall put one out!
Aesi.. so classic. Used to play it out of the box against my cousins real decks and it got rolled so hard we used to joke that the picture wasn’t to scale and Aesi was just a tiny fish in Urza’s aquarium.
Then I upgraded him..
So glad to see a return to deck techs!
I play Collective voyage in my aesi deck it is a good persuasion card. Some of these cards I'll have to look at adding to my aesi deck I'm still leaning towards the sea monster tribal cuz big beefy monsters.

What cards would you add to improve it? Even with a higher cost!
Aesi is one of my favorite commanders. i like leaning blue with it.
My first commander deck was the the Aesi precon
So many commanders need updated love, this was one of them
The precon comes with a pretty nasty combo (if you have the mana for it), whelming wave to bounce the board then reclamation sage to get whelming wave back and do it again.
Love me some Aesi action. Great for a first time player, yet it can really power up quickly in the right hands. :)
very, Aesi is scary when built correctly
1:59 First up, of course!
Aesi my first and greatest commander
Minor note for journey to the oracle: you have to discard a card before the draw triggers from your commander will resolve. Still amazing, but important to note
It’s crazy that Aesi by itself almost reached the price of this whole deck before it was leaked that it will be in Mystery Booster 2
there're multiple Aesi decks in my play group, makes me lean into land hate a bit more
If you want to put some affordable reserved list spice into your Aesi deck, add Soldevi Excavations, Thawing Glaciers and a Undiscovered Paradise.
At long last you see the value of Jadzi! Saints be praised! Her back spell is a pseudo-Fastbond! This deck is insane, putting Tatyova into the deck is an awesome move, but to call her a pig is an insult, pigs tend to chew...
Look to Soratami Mirror-Mage and Soratami Seer for added land-based effects. You can cycle through your deck with Seer and can combo Bounce and Landfall abilities with Mirror-Mage, and make targets for the Patron of the Moon!
Love these deck videos! Keep up the good content
I love playing my aesi deck
I love Aesi, fun deck to play
This seems like a great commander for new players. Love it
It can be a pain to deal with. Mine is high powered. I'm running most of the fast mana rocks. A lot of reactions and counter spells.

I would look into scute swarm for this. Whenever you have 6 or more lands in play. It creates another copy of itself. Thwn those coppies make coppies. And then more coppies of those. And then more. And it keeps doubling until you have hundreds. If not. Thousands of scute swarm creatures. Not to mention cards that can give those all counters

There are some more ways enabling an infinite mana combo.
Just mentioning some:
Kodama of the East Tree + Trench Behemoth + Rampaging Baloths/Scute Swarm/Tireless Provisioner/Tireless Tracker (all on field) + Land in Hand
Retreat to Coralhelm + Scaled Herbalist (or any other permanent that can tap to put a land into play) + Trench Behemoth + 1 Land (all on field)
Besides infinite mana they also give infinite Landfall/EtB Triggers, so You can cast Aesi, then draw Your deck.
Most Combinations can at least give You infinite Landfall/EtB Triggers or infinite Creature Tokens.
You can also add combo pieces to get Infinite Turns.
Mitch: hates generic/basic simic commanders
Also Mitch: “This is a Monster”
Aesi is just really fun no matter who you are. Extra lands and insane card draw allows you to do so many things that there really isn't a way for it to be fun.
Been working on a mass land destruction version of this deck.
My first deck!!😊
Oooohh. My brother is gonna like this video
Tor Wauki the Younger I love to see what you can do with this Commander
I love this giant snake
First precon I ever got!
Anyone’s opinion on why to run this over Tatyova, Benthic Druid? Sure I get the additional land, but it’s one extra mana, and it doesn’t trample which I personally feel should be somewhere on the card. He a big boi
New Cultivator Colossus in this deck
What would I have to do to get you to do a tech on my Aesi deck I built?
Could you do a updated deck for Zada?
Depending on what deck your opponents run a Jaheira's Respite can either be pretty good or absolutely overwhelming. Just be careful you don't deck yourself out
I'm building this for sure. I think I have most of the parts already. Any reason summer bloom didn't make the list? Isn't it fairly budget now?
He mentions summer bloom at 7:35. Aesi Landfall is best.
Bro you good? You are releasing a lot in the last few days. Please make sure you’re making time for yourself. We care about you my man, and would hate to see you get burnt out
No joke I was just talking to a friend about aesi being expensive
Aesi was one of the commanders I wanted to build for a long time, so thanks Mitch! May I also ask a deck tech on Obuun? I'm really struggling to find a way to build it.
It’s very similar, ramp and card draw. Make sure you run evolution sage and ancient greenwarden.
Isn’t this just the modified version of the precon I have it and a lot of cards from here are in it
no sol ring or arcane signet?
Where is the commander quarters play group?👀 I miss those vids man…
NOOOO MY SLEEPER HIT DECK HAS BEEN REVEALED
Would add to chulane deck but I can't afford it.
I have a no budget aesi deck that I’m just not allowed to play cause my friends don’t like it
🔥⛅️🌇🌅🌅 I actually like serpents
excited for this one. no doubt this will be powerful 👌
This deck is very strong, but having had an aesi deck for a while.. it’s so boring!! Does anyone have any tips to make it interesting??
Ruin crab? Scute swarm?
Run mean stuff. I run hullbreaker, omniscience, ulamog, void winneror, narset partner of veils, seedborn, God-Pharaoh's Statue, temur sabor tooth, vorinclex. A lot of removal and counter spells. Aesi has so much ramp and card draw you can play an ulamog so fast and other big scary things.
Is this a new card?
No, came out in 2021 I think
It’s a precon
@@SimicMai ahhh ok makes sense thx I’m always lost on cards in Precons
@@chasestevenson5396 no worries
Why not tatyova
too slow, she can't pay her own commander tax like aesi, that additional land drop is better when trying to keep up or get faster than everyone else. life is a resource.
Aesi is still too expensive for my blood. I found most things in here very useful for Nine-fingers Keene gates deck.
When will mitch learn that all his titles like
This is to good
Are from incredibly strong comanders
Bro you talk way too friggin fast. I hear most of what you're saying, but every so often I need to rewind 5-10 times to hear what you said
My Aesi deck definitely isn't budget 😂
what did you upgrade it with?
More like: I "Sea" a Monster
Break the bank plz
My first precon. I ended up dismantling it because it was too boring. Every game was just ramp, draw, ramp, draw, ramp, draw, SEA MONSTERS.
I have since rebuilt it with some of the best cards and now it's one of my strongest, most consistent decks. Still pretty boring tho.
