Deck overview

This is a Sultai Elf/graveyard combo deck built around Thranduil, the Elvenking. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with key Elf creatures - most importantly Devoted Druid - then use Thranduil's ability to gain all of their activated abilities, generating infinite green mana. From there, Ezuri, Renegade Leader's overrun or Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's sacrifice ability converts that mana into a table-wide kill. The deck is dense with tutors and graveyard-filling effects to assemble the line quickly, and Necrotic Ooze serves as a backup engine that can execute the same combo without the commander. A secondary combat plan uses Craterhoof Behemoth and a wide Elf board. The commander is both the primary engine and a card-advantage source, making the deck fast but somewhat commander-dependent.
