[B3] Thranduil's Cemetery by DG9

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thranduil is the engine: this Sultai deck spends its early turns filling the graveyard with Elves, then lets him copy their activated abilities to become a mana producer, untap loop, and overrun source in one creature. There is no hidden commander; the deck is explicitly built around maximizing Thranduil ability. The primary plan is an infinite-mana combo (Staff of Domination or Thranduil + Devoted Druid/Magistrate) that ends through Finale of Devastation, Ezuri, Tyvar, or Jarad; a traditional elf-ball combat plan exists as backup. Legendary Elf ETBs turn Thranduil into a draw engine.
