Deck overview

This Sultai deck is helmed by Thranduil, the Elvenking, combining dedicated Elf tribal mana acceleration with a graveyard-based activated-ability combo engine. The deck utilizes low-cost mana dorks like Llanowar Elves and Priest of Titania alongside efficient graveyard tutors such as Buried Alive and Entomb to place combo pieces into the graveyard. When Thranduil enters the battlefield, he inherits the untap and pump abilities of Devoted Druid and Timberwatch Elf, generating infinite mana and arbitrarily large power before eliminating all opponents in a single turn via Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord or overrun combat. If the graveyard line is contested, the deck effortlessly transitions into a traditional go-wide Elfball strategy anchored by Craterhoof Behemoth and Ezuri, Renegade Leader, backed by robust Sultai countermagic and removal.
