Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Golgari Elfball deck with a combo finish masquerading as a tribal beatdown list. Lathril, Blade of the Elves is an excellent early source of bodies: a single attack turns into extra Elves, which feed every mana-tap payoff in the deck. The real engine lives in the 99 - Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Marwyn, the Nurturer, Circle of Dreams Druid, and Wirewood Channeler produce exponential mana, which becomes infinite with Umbral Mantle or Staff of Domination. From there the deck kills with Finale of Devastation, Triumph of the Hordes, Craterhoof Behemoth, or a mass drain from Shaman of the Pack. Eladamri, Korvecdal and Bolas's Citadel function as secondary engines in the 99. Lathril is a token generator and payoff, not the combo lynchpin; the deck runs at full capacity even if she never resolves.
