Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking turns the graveyard into a second hand, granting him every Elf card's activated ability while legendary Elf drops fuel card filtering. The deck is a Sultai Elf-combo list: it builds a board of mana dorks, fills the yard with tutors/mill, then uses a tap/untap mana loop (Wirewood Channeler or Deathbloom Ritualist plus Sword of the Paruns) to make infinite colored mana. Wins are usually a giant Exsanguinate, or a huge pumped board with Tyvar, the Pummeler or Return of the Wildspeaker. The commander provides redundancy and card draw rather than being the sole combo piece, and there is enough self-mill, tutoring, and protection to make the primary line resilient.
