      @@PokeStatsStudios to be fair, back when those Commander decks came out, they were notoriously unfocused. They were nigh unplayable out of the box. Rebell choosing that one surprised me, because it was clearly solely based on (one of) the face Commanders.
      Side note: those products prominently displayed all three oversized foil cards, so it’s hard to say one was the specific “face” in the same way the newer decks have.

      It's literally trash. If it doesn't ramp you just lose most of the time. Not to mention if you have to build a deck to ramp and continually draw cards to win, it's bad. Definitely the worst of the 4 decks at the table, and there are plenty of precons that are definitely more powerful.

      It's definitely a lot of fun to play, but it took me a lot of practice to realize what a good hand looked like, and even then the earliest you can get your commander on the field (absent a god-tier first hand) is turn four, and typically you won't get Aesi out on the field until turn 6, assuming that you're opponent doesn't decide to take him out. Not saying it's not a powerful deck, but it is definitely a slow start before Aesi comes out. I have heavily modified (as in replaced nearly half the cards) my Reap the Tides deck after running it stock for a month or two against my friends who have custom commander decks or modified precons.

    Edit: I forgot 2016 also had a fifth deck, as I remember the four color decks all had one color not present. Saskia, Breya, Yidris, Atraxa, and Kynaios and Tiro. However, K&T need something that can compete fast. I should make a list

    I've really enjoyed using the Reap The Tide's pre-con for as a foundation to create a deck filled with dangerously powerful beasts multiple win conditions. If you go the route of using this deck as a foundation for your own Simic Landfall Deck, I highly recommend keeping (or upgrading) a good portion of the land bounce featured in the pre-con, as it can be really helpful in the mid-game to ensure that you can still trigger your landfall. I would also recommend the use of multiple blue instant spells which can return Aesi to your hand from the battlefield, as casting a commander multiple times from your command zone--especially a commander with a base casting cost of 6 mana --can get pretty expensive very quickly.

It was disgustingly powerful.
