The Elvenking - Thranduil [Bracket 3] (duplicated from Tybalto) by spikelee000

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This Sultai elf deck is a self-mill combo build wrapped around Thranduil, the Elvenking. The plan is to fill the graveyard with Elves, then let Thranduil - who gains every activated ability of every Elf card in the graveyard - act as a one-card toolbox that is simultaneously a giant mana dork, an untap engine, an overrun, and a drain spell. More than a dozen one-mana Elven dorks plus a deep self-mill package (Buried Alive, Ripples of Undeath, Cemetery Tampering, Frantic Search, Lluwen, Imperfect Naturalist, Underrealm Lich) seed the yard quickly. With Thranduil plus a mana dork and either Staff of Domination or Devoted Druid, the deck produces a game-ending burst of green mana and converts it via Torment of Hailfire, Ezuri, Renegade Leader's overrun, Lathril, Blade of the Elves's drain, or Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord's fling. Legendary Elves double as card draw - Leyline of Singularity makes every Elf legendary - and a conventional elfball combat lane backs up the combo.
