Golgari Elves by minusDelta

Format: Commander

Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Lathril, Blade of the Elves is both the engine and the finish line of this Golgari elfball deck. The primary plan is to land Lathril early, push through combat damage, and turn every hit into a stack of 1/1 Elf Warrior tokens. Secondary wins come from tapping ten Elves for Lathril's 10-life drain, resolving Skemfar Shadowsage or Exsanguinate, or breaking the game open with Finale of Devastation or Beastmaster Ascension. Doubling Season and Dionus amplify token output and untapping, while equipment like Genji Glove and Rogue's Passage make sure Lathril connects. There is no hidden commander; Lathril's combat triggers drive the deck.
