Cool deck! Maybe some more landfall triggers or a Nissa, like Nissa, Steward of Elements or Nissa, Vital Force could be useful though

Thank You for suggestion Mr.Beaver

Yes, I agree that Nissa, Vital Force will be a great addition. She is now in a maybeboard. Well, now I need to think what to remove to put her in main.

Came for the simic, stayed for the layout.

Since your strategy leans on Crucible of Worlds or Words of Wind (which is an awesome card that I now want to build around, thanks for that), I'd consider adding Fabricate and an Isochron Scepter package. Scepter could be flexible here with either a Growth Spiral or Counterspell tucked under it.

Song of the Dryads is among the best removal spells in commander and would slot in nicely here. In addition, since you're giving them the forest, you could play Submerge which fits the world serpent unleashing the sea.

Overall, awesome deck. I play a lot of simic and sea monsters. The only thing I don't like about Aesi is that it took wizards this long to print it.

Thank you so much for the great suggestions and upvote!

I don’t understand how I missed the Isochron Scepter, it’s just a great card that will be excellent in both control and as a value engine! This card will definitely be added to the deck!

Fabricate - another great suggestion, now I just need somehow to find a slot for it in the deck

Song of the Dryads - I have my doubts about this card. I've been using it in my decks for a long time, and this card has proven itself just fine. But its usefulness is justified rather only in mono-green decks, where we are limited to the choice of answers. Since in our case we have access to the blue color, I'd rather use another counterspell instead of it, or another stax permanent like Back to Basics.

Submerge - a very unusual and very flavourful card. It is captivating that it can be used without paying the mana cost of the spell, this is always useful when my stax pieces are on the battlefield. Also, players using the forest are very common. I will definitely test this spell.

Thanks for the help! If anything comes to mind, be sure to let me know.

Courser of Kruphix and Ancient Greenwarden or Titania, Protector of Argoth as a way to win while you Strip Mine combo perhaps? I'm also not sure how to play staxish synergies but I am a bit surprised to see no Elvish Reclaimer? It also seems pretty easy to slot in the Dark Depths Thespian Stage combo if you want. Cool deck, love the style, good luck with the build!

Hi abby315!

Elvish Reclaimer is just a great spell, and it synergizes perfectly with a lot of mechanics and cards in the deck. Thanks for reminding me about it!

Dark Depths - love this card, but I think this spell would be perfect if we had access to black or white, so far, after a few tests, I am quite satisfied with Field of the Dead. Dozens of zombies can be created with this land in no time.

Ahahaha

I couldn't have answered better!

Actually, maybe I should have name the deck like that! ;)

Thanks!

The quality of the reasoning about my deck reflects the quality of your thinking and, as a consequence, characterizes the value of your opinion - useless.

Oh, and the most important thing... Eat my power snake!

Maybe is time to switch to Koma, Cosmos Serpent?

Yes, I've already seen the spoiler of this card, and to be honest, I was a little surprised. Why was it necessary to create a simic monster like Aesi, with an explicit reference to the world serpent, if then you will create another simic monster like Koma.

At first glance, Aesi looks more effective and more dangerous, especially in the role of a combo commander, on the other hand, Koma is much more flavorful, and leanes more towards a control strategy. Anyway, Koma gives the impression of a very strong commander around whom you can build a strong and fun deck. And, of course, if I decide to change the commander, I will have to rebuild almost the entire deck.

Nevertheless, I am interested in your opinion regarding the comparison of these two commanders and their power level. What do You think?

Ender666666 says... #19

I think that time will tell. I feel like Koma is far more interesting to me personally, in terms of design space. Koma doesn't feel like 2 Simic cards stapled together the way Aesi does. That said, I think they both do vastly different things and their decklists aren't going to be the same, so simply swapping snakes won't be easy.... Lots of deck list changes will be needed, as well as an adjustment in playstyle.

Checkout Koma Koma Koma Koma, Koma Chameleon and if you would like, suggest what I should add. We could build a Koma list together if you want.

Sure, I will gladly take part in the collective creation of the Koma deck.
