Thranduil by Rpeters94

Format: Commander

Commander: Thranduil, the Elvenking

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

Thranduil, the Elvenking leads a Sultai elfball that packs its own graveyard by milling and tutoring, then uses the commander to copy every activated ability on Elf cards in the graveyard. The primary plan is to bin mana-elf combos (Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, Deathbloom Ritualist), make infinite mana with Umbral Mantle, and convert it through milling/life-loss engines such as Syr Konrad, Duskmantle Guildmage, or Lathril. Secondary paths are Craterhoof/Finale alpha strikes and Bloodchief/Mindcrank drains. The other Thranduil, Sindarin Liege // Silvan Rally, is a strong legendary-elf payoff in the 99 rather than a true hidden commander. Mass reanimation in Rise of the Dark Realms and Bloodline Bidding doubles as recovery and a finishing blow.
