Yuna is very much alike Reyhan, Last of the Abzan *f-etch*, and if i could share you a few cheeky tactics off my own:

  • Starfall Invocation — Yuna's ability goes on the stack, but if you gift a card there is a new creature on the board after the Invocation resolved to target. You keep all counters on the board.
  • Evolution Witness — on it's own it is already great, if you target the witness with a cycled Agonasaur Rex you can repeatedly grow counters and draw cards (on top of granting evasion and indestructible).
  • Willbreaker — Yuna's ability never states that it is limited to your creatures. Steal the board and ruin friendships with willbreaker and a sac outlet.
  • Walking Archive — Reyhan is very capable of gathering 100+ counters on the archive, passing turn and draw everyone out. I Bet Yuna is too!
  • Giggling Skitterspike — Gather only 40 power and swing/block/target?
  • Springheart Nantuko /Nyxborn Hydra — Anything bestow will stay around for Yuna to target after a boardwipe.

You're def on the right track KBK7101, since God-Eternal Bontu was included in the stock precon list (along with Korvold, Fae-Cursed King and The Gitrog Monster).

Bontu is solid for sure. I've used it in a couple of Aristocrats decks before. I'll reconsider it as I play-test more, especially if I feel like I need another pseudo-evasive beater.

I want to put this deck together in paper, but am weighing my options on picking up the last 7 cards I don't currently own:

I'm considering which proxy service is fastest, or maybe picking up a couple of the cards listed here, and swapping the other slots for cards I already own in the next accordion block:

These are all prime candidates for swaps, until I figure out how and which of the others to pick up:

Other candidates for consideration:

Hey jonjonhholt, really glad you dig the build and thanks a bunch for the suggestions! I have thought about the other landcycle creatures and tried Ents in here before but ultimately I decided on Sagu mainly because of that card's ability to grab untapped sources of either of the secondary colors. This is important sometimes for casting a timely Lorien or Sulfurous Blast since each have double pips. Krushok is a sweet card and it did cross my mind to run this + Evolution Witness since this loops and functions as a mana sink, which would be awesome with the mana you get in this deck but I decided this package would probably take up too much space in the list. But considered by itself I think Nyxborn ends up winning out at least for this build.

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

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
