Elves! by IcemanMTG

Format: Commander

Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

Lathril, Blade of the Elves is the deck's engine and finisher. The primary plan is to flood the board with cheap Elves and tokens, deal combat damage with Lathril to generate Elf Warriors, then activate her {T} ability to drain 10 life from each opponent once ten untapped Elves are available. Secondary win paths are wide-board pump via Tribal Unity, Storm the Seedcore, or Elvish Warmaster, plus a Shaman of the Pack drain. The commander is a single-faced card; there is no hidden commander. The deck functions at around 60-70% without Lathril, but she provides the fastest and most reliable kill.
