Deck overview

This Golgari Elf tribal deck is helmed by Lathril, Blade of the Elves, leveraging her combat damage to generate a wide army of 1/1 Elf Warrior tokens and her activated ability to drain opponents for 10 life each. The primary game plan is to accelerate mana with a dense suite of Elf dorks, deploy Lathril early, then overwhelm opponents through either a massive combat step (Craterhoof Behemoth, Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Overwhelming Stampede) or the table-wide drain from Lathril's tap ability. The deck also includes a modest recursion package and a handful of tutors to find key pieces. It is a classic go-wide aggro strategy that aims to close games by turns 6-7 through sheer creature count and pump effects.
