Elvenking by joker72

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking is a Sultai Elf tribal value engine that turns the graveyard into a toolbox. The primary plan is to flood the board with Elves, use Thranduil to copy activated abilities of Elves in the graveyard and to draw two discard one whenever another legendary Elf enters, then win with mass pumps. Secondary paths are combat overruns via Ezuri and Tyvar the Pummeler, token drain with Lathril, and a Jarad fling for reach. The hidden commanders are Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid and Marwyn, the Nurturer, which provide the mana to cast Thranduil and power overruns. The deck is built to use Thranduil's front face as a draw and ability-copy engine, not as a beater.
