First of all, I'm so sorry for that shitty pun for the deck name. (I really hope you got it because it literally took me 30 minutes to think of that)

Anyway, hey! Thanks for checking out my deck! I have been wanting to create my own Commander deck for a while now, and I think this is what I'm going to settle with, although suggestions are highly appreciated!

Alright let's get into how this works. Nath of the Gilt-Leaf's mechanic works so that every time your opponent discards a card, which they have to do on your upkeep, you get a free 1/1 Elf. So the general idea of the deck is to make your opponent discard a lot, get lots of 1/1 Elves, buff them, then win! That's the plan anyway...

Discarding

Alright first we have Nath of the Gilt-Leaf. This is the main card that will win you the game. Like I said, we want to make our opponent discard a lot, so we have cards like Bloodhusk Ritualist , Corrupt Court Official, Nezumi Shortfang , Ravenous Rats, Sadistic Hypnotist, Dark Deal, Forbidden Ritual, Nightsnare , Triumph of Cruelty , as well as others.

Discard Combos

Now we get into the good stuff, the combos when we make our opponent discard. There are a few routs here.

We can start to get a lot of Elves with Doubling Season or Parallel Lives

Make them suffer with Liliana's Caress or Megrim

We can make them start to mill with Altar of the Brood

Be a dick with Quest for the Nihil Stone

Or just go ham with Waste Not

After this we want to look at how we can buff our puny elves

Elves

Hopefully you have a few elf tokens on the board and can start to buff them with Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, Elvish Champion, Immaculate Magistrate, Imperious Perfect, or Rhys the Exiled.

We can also use our elves as fodder for Blasting Station, if that pleases you.

Shaman of the Pack can possibly one shot them when you get enough Elves

Or you could always tap for mana with Elvish Archdruid, or Priest of Titania.

You can do some serious damage with all these cards, and this is one way you might want to end the game.

Drawing?

So as some of you may be aware, once you get an opponent to discard all their cards, it's hard for them to get a lot back, and it will be harder for us to continue to kill them, so we're going to make them draw more, whether they like it or not!

We're going to use Howling Mine and Font of Mythos to make them draw more; Sign in Blood, Harrowing Journey , Dark Deal, and Damnable Pact to make them draw even more, Gnat Miser and Locust Miser to make their hand smaller so they have to discard once they hit a card limit, and Fate Unraveler and Underworld Dreams to punish them for their crimes.

Fin?

Hopefully you have now won the game, congratulations!

Anyway, this deck is still in the works, and I would love some input from the MTG community, so feel free to let me know what you think can be changed/added/sideboarded/whatever.

Enjoy!

I changed around some of the cards, realized there were better versions of the cards out there. They are a bit more expensive, but this deck still isn't as expensive as some. Thanks to TheMageOlogist for his suggestion of Shaman of the Pack, this will definitely do some damage.
