Golgari 2: The Forest Fights Back by Road_island_red

Deck overview

This Golgari Elfball deck uses Lathril, Blade of the Elves to build wide token armies and convert them into explosive mana and lethal overrun attacks. Early turns focus on establishing mana dorks like Heritage Druid, Elvish Archdruid, and Circle of Dreams Druid. Once Lathril connects in combat, she generates additional Elf Warrior tokens to rapidly scale your creature count. The deck converts this wide presence into decisive victories through game-ending overrun effects such as Craterhoof Behemoth, Finale of Devastation, and Coat of Arms, or through an infinite mana combo using Staff of Domination. Robust green-black interaction, including Assassin's Trophy, Deadly Rollick, and Toxic Deluge, handles opposing threats efficiently. Protection spells like Heroic Intervention and Veil of Summer shield the board against sweepers and removal. The deck executes a fast, consistent Turn 5 clock with high redundancy and strong recovery tools.
