Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking leads a Sultai kindred deck that merges traditional Elf ramp and card advantage with graveyard synergies. The deck leverages Thranduil to copy activated abilities from fallen Elves while chaining legendary Elf triggers to dig through the library. Early turns focus on establishing mana dorks, land-based ramp, and milling or discarding key tools into the graveyard. As the board fills, the deck transitions into overwhelming wide board states, mass pump effects like Return of the Wildspeaker and Chronicle of Victory, life-draining burn via Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord, or mass Elf reanimation with a foretold Haunting Voyage.
