Lathril by Chron

Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a high-power Golgari Elfball deck helmed by Lathril, Blade of the Elves. The plan is classic tribal acceleration: flood the board with cheap Elf dorks and token makers, convert that density into explosive mana via Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Wirewood Channeler, and Marwyn, the Nurturer, then convert the board into a win. Primary finishes are Craterhoof Behemoth, Triumph of the Hordes, Ezuri, Renegade Leader overruns, and infinite-mana loops with Staff of Domination or Umbral Mantle on a big mana Elf. Lathril, Blade of the Elves supplies menace combat tokens and a tap-ten drain outlet, but the deck's combo and combat lines live almost entirely in the 99-Lathril is a strong payoff, not a required engine. Tutors, Skullclamp, and draw engines keep the engine fed while a modest interaction suite protects the critical turns.
