Deck overview

This is a classic Golgari Elfball list helmed by Lathril, Blade of the Elves. The plan is to flood the board with Elf dorks and token makers, convert that density into explosive mana via Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Circle of Dreams Druid, and Marwyn, the Nurturer, then close through combat overrun effects or infinite-mana loops. Lathril, Blade of the Elves is a strong value body-Menace combat makes Elf tokens and her tap ability drains the table for 10-but she is not required for the win; the 99 already contains layered infinite lines and multiple one-shot finishers. Primary kills are Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede, Triumph of the Hordes, Ezuri, Renegade Leader's overrun, and infinite mana from Umbral Mantle / Staff of Domination / Sword of the Paruns on a big mana Elf. Token doublers (Parallel Lives, Doubling Season) and Roaming Throne push the swarm over the top quickly.
