Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is an Elf tribal landfall deck led by Thranduil the Strategist, a commander that generates an Elf token on each landfall and turns your other Elves into mana dorks. The primary game plan is to accelerate rapidly through a dense suite of one-drop Elf mana dorks, combined with extra-land-drop effects like Azusa, Lost but Seeking and Exploration, to maximize the commander's token generation. Aesi, Tyrant of Gyre Strait and Tribute to the World Tree provide sustained card draw, while lords such as Elvish Archdruid and Leaf-Crowned Visionary pump the growing army. The deck wins by overwhelming opponents with a massive trampling elf horde through Craterhoof Behemoth, a large X=10 Finale of Devastation, Ezuri, Renegade Leader's overrun ability, or a poison-trample kill from Triumph of the Hordes.
