Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking helms a Sultai Elfball that treats its graveyard as a toolbox. The deck floods the board with cheap Elves and mana dorks, then uses Thranduil to copy the activated abilities of dead Elves - most importantly Ezuri's +3/+3 trample, Priest of Titania/Elvish Archdruid mana, and Lathril's drain. Secondary wins come from Finale of Devastation, Overwhelming Stampede, and Shaman of the Pack. Eladamri, Korvecdal is a hidden commander that cheats Elves into play from the top of the library. Strong draw and recursion packages let the deck rebuild after wipes and keep the pressure on.
