Commander: Lathril, Blade of the Elves

Bracket: 2

Deck overview

This Golgari deck leverages Lathril, Blade of the Elves to build an overwhelming board of Elf tokens and drain the table. The primary game plan develops cheap Elf mana dorks and utility creatures to deploy Lathril early. Combat damage from Lathril snowballs token production, which is magnified by doubling effects and kindred token generators. The deck wins by reaching critical Elf mass to repeatedly activate Lathril's tap ability for 10-life drains across all opponents, bursting table-wide life loss with Shaman of the Pack, or swarming the battlefield with overrun-style combat damage boosted by lords and +1/+1 counters.
