Better than Lathril? by Aussemshawn

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking turns your graveyard into an Elf toolbox: with Marwyn, Priest of Titania, and Wirewood Channeler in the yard, he taps for enormous mana, and Staff of Domination converts that into an infinite-mana draw loop. The deck leans heavily on tutors and self-mill to set this up, with Necrotic Ooze as a backup engine. Secondary plans are honest Elfball: Warmaster and Lathril build a board, Ezuri/Tyvar/Craterhoof overrun, and Torment of Hailfire closes with a large X. The commander is the lynchpin; without him the deck still attacks but loses its fastest lines.
