The Ozolith recycle counters. Reyhan, Last of the Abzan *f-etch* Host of the Hereafter works too.

Maskwood Nexus to make everyone Mutants?

Evolution Witness

After taking a look, I think I've found some cards that can have issues that you might want to switch out:

Re: Lands, Ancient Den is an artifact, which means it dies to stuff like Vandalblast or Austere Command, IMHO if you want any artifact lands you should look at Indestructible ones like your Bridge. There are also 'pain' lands, such as Adarkar Wastes or Brushland, but it's a complete cycle of 10 lands. Similarly I'd cut Public Thoroughfare and Temple of the False God, I sometimes run Temple but you really want more than 31 lands for it to work. I'd personally run closer to 36 lands in here, but your land count can vary based on your deck's average MV and how much ramp you run. If you run 36 lands you could keep Temple more safely, but I feel like it won't work all the time and it will feel really bad when it doesn't.

Re: Creatures, I don't think Esper Stormblade is a good fit in Commander (you'd want something like Baleful Strix IMHO), Fortress Kin-Guard feels meh, and I'm not sure if you have enough Modular creatures for Arcbound Overseer. Metastatic Evangel can be good if you've got a lot of counter synergy, and it's weirdly cheap for a card with that high of a ceiling. Evolution Witness similarly will play well with counter sources.

Re: Instants, Assert Authority seems awful, maybe just run Dispersal Shield? Cancel/Sinister Sabotage aren't very good cards, and they are mono-colour to boot, maybe try something like Absorb, Render Silent, or another counter that is 2 or 3 colours?

Re: Sorceries, Lingering Souls/Spectral Procession aren't great in Commander. Maybe Visions of Glory (it's only 4 mana to Flashback with your Commander) or if you've got some extra money Farmer Cotton is really good when I've used him.

The rest seems more reasonable for your budget/power level. Hope this helps!

Anything with Aesi is worthy of an upvote. Personally, I like Koma- but for actual recommendations I think you've hit the standard deck construction parameters. Maybe an Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath would be nice to see, and I'd also mention Kodama of the West Tree purely because you need more concrete ways to simply put the lands down onto the field. Enter the Unknown, Thirsting Roots, Evolution Witness, just so many different cards i think to mention here for you, but i understand not all of them (or any of them) may be precisely what you're looking for. I myself am a long time fan of Vorinclex  ^Flip and his associated cards, so if you were waiting for someone to rip on you/ support you in that choice, I'd say go for it. I believe the new god from Aetherdrift would be helpful. There's a mention for Fastbond and Manabond, and plenty of room to discuss stuff like Growth Spiral, Farseek, etc. Best of luck building Aesi, the one bit of advice that helped me while I was constructing was you could never have too many lands. Cheers! +1

Thran Vigil + Evolution Witness. There's gotta be something there. Put all artifacts and creatures from your graveyard into your hand and put that many +1/+1 counters on Evolution Witness.
