Lathril, Blade of the Elves (Precon)

Format: Commander

Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Lathril, Blade of the Elves leads a Golgari Elf-tribal swarm deck. The primary plan is to deploy early Elf mana dorks and lords, convert them into a wide token board, then finish with Lathril's activated drain on each opponent. Secondary paths are mass lifeloss from Skemfar Shadowsage and Shaman of the Pack, plus an End-Raze Forerunners overrun. The commander acts as both token engine and final mana sink; most support spells are Elves or token multipliers, with recursion and selective removal to recover from wipes. There is no hidden commander. The deck is not an infinite-combo deck; it wins by reaching critical Elf density and firing repeated ten-life drains.
