Deck overview

This is a Golgari Elfball deck helmed by Lathril, Blade of the Elves, built to ramp explosively with a dense mana-dork package, flood the board with Elf tokens, and close the game through several overlapping lines. The primary win is Lathril's activated ability - tapping ten Elves to drain each opponent for 10 - repeated multiple times per turn cycle with untap engines like Seedborn Muse, Quest for Renewal, and Dionus, Elvish Archdruid. A parallel combat path uses Craterhoof Behemoth, Finale of Devastation, and Ezuri, Renegade Leader to turn the wide board lethal. The deck also carries an infinite-mana combo package (Umbral Mantle + Marwyn, the Nurturer into Staff of Domination) that functions entirely in the 99. Token doublers Doubling Season and Parallel Lives supercharge both the drain and combat plans.
