Sultai - Thranduil by Davenex

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking leads a Sultai elf-ball combo deck that turns self-mill into mana. The commander functions as a living training-grounds for the graveyard: after loading Elf abilities with Hermit Druid, Entomb, Buried Alive, and friends, Thranduil taps for huge mana (Deathbloom Ritualist, Priest of Titania, Bloom Tender) and repeats untaps with Umbral Mantle/Training Grounds or Staff of Domination. Redundant engines Necrotic Ooze and Marvin also inherit abilities. Win lines: infinite colored mana into Walking Ballista/Exsanguinate, or an overrun/token beatdown via Ezuri/Tyvar/Warmaster; Jarad offers a non-combat fling route. The deck can function without the commander, but he remains its main card-advantage engine.
