I really dug the Aetherborn's aesthetic, so I wanted to make a commander out of one of the legendaries. Wasn't a fan of Gonti, Lord of Luxury, but Yahenni, Undying Partisan almost immediately caught my eye.

Essentially, Voltron up Yahenni to some degree, while getting buffed by board wipes and general black-based-removal. Some minor creature recursion and creature creation to keep Yahenni fed in both manners. Pretty straight forward, but I find it pretty fun. Plus Yahenni looks really cool.

To really ramp the counters on Yahenni, Blade of the Bloodchief and Eternal Thirst gives him potentially 4 counters each death of an opponent's creature.

Blood Artist is another lovable creature to have out.

Genesis Chamber helps to keep your enemies supplied with things to kill.

Personal Note:
Wasteland is in deck only because I had one and wasn't really using it. Not really a trader/seller, so I wanted to give it use somewhere.
