Elves old by Thisisdumb

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Sultai Elf-combo led by Thranduil, the Elvenking, who turns the graveyard into a second hand by borrowing every activated ability of Elf cards in it. The deck accelerates into Thranduil, then uses other legendary Elves to trigger a draw-two and intentionally discard mana-Elves so the commander becomes a one-card mana engine. Staff of Domination turns that engine into infinite mana and draw, closing through Lathril's life-drain or a giant Finale of Devastation. A midrange Elf-mastery backup plan plus a suite of counters and removal keeps the deck viable if the combo is interrupted.
