Thranduil (But fair) by iblee

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This Sultai Elf deck builds a wide board and uses Thranduil, the Elvenking as a graveyard toolbox and draw engine. Thranduil copies all activated abilities of Elf cards in your graveyard and draws two then discards one whenever another legendary Elf enters. The primary plan is Elf swarm combat, making tokens with Imperious Perfect, Elvish Warmaster, and Thranduil, Sindarin Liege and pumping them with Coat of Arms, Chronicle of Victory, and Dionus, Elvish Archdruid. Secondary paths are two infinite mana combos that win with Staff of Domination or Exsanguinate. Elrond, Moon-Reader acts as a hidden commander, turning every copied ability into extra cards. Thranduil accelerates the deck but is not required for either win line.
