Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking leads a Sultai Elf deck that uses the graveyard as a second hand. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with key Elf activators-Devoted Druid, Greenhilt Trainee, and Immaculate Magistrate-then cast Thranduil and loop their abilities for infinite mana and power, finishing with Tyvar, the Pummeler's overrun or Exsanguinate. Lathril, Blade of the Elves is a hidden commander: from the graveyard she gives Thranduil a ten-Elf drain that can end the game. Secondary paths include Staff of Domination with a big mana dork, Shaman of the Pack, and Ezuri/Tyvar combat overruns. Thranduil's draw trigger on legendary Elves and the adventure half of Thranduil, Sindarin Liege provide card advantage.
