Morning my fellow Ballers!
So just going to wade in here, but Joraga Warcaller does work super well with Immaculate Magistrate. A deck like this, that makes sooooo many elves, a simple tap can make your whole board MAHOOSIVE!
Its a sweet deck, and i honestly was not aware of Galadhrim Brigade. I have a simple cut in mine and will replace elvish ambush Think its just better.
If you fancy a look, here is my deck also Golgari Elves. Used to be Selesnya with Karamtetra as commander, but just perfer dem durty Golgari Elves.
oh yeah, +1 as well to you as well

I found Once Upon a Time really useful in my Elves deck, really smoothe
Is Ezuri, Renegade Leader x1 too off theme? I feel like the Overrun would be sick in here. It's not always the most efficient option, but Joraga Warcaller has very nice versatility, if you have 5 or 7 mana it's a huge buff. If you use Warcaller, I really liked having 1 or 2 Immaculate Magistrate, which also synergizes with your card draw effects.
Have you thought about switching out some copies of Nissa for Wellwisher? Wellwisher lacks Haste, but it comes out sooner and counts as an elf (it's almost always less life, but might give more offense).
Really neat take on Elves, Green isn't known for this kind of thing, but maybe it should be!

Immaculate Magistrate? The synergy with Joraga Warcaller is hopefully obvious. =)

Hey, well done so far upgrading the precon.
Some Elf upgrades to consider:
- Copperhorn Scout --> Defiant Elf
- Elvish Harbinger --> Lys Alana Scarblade
- Circle of Dreams Druid --> Rhys the Exiled
- Fauna Shaman --> Sylvan Messanger
- Elvish Guidance --> Elderfang Ritualist
Copperhorn Scout pairs well with Immaculate Magistrate or Timberwatch Elf to have a repeatable untap effect to make Lathril huge when you attack with Elves. With Immaculate since the counters stay on the creature then can keep Scout and Lathril huge. Fauna Shaman repeatable tutor effect can be useful with Elves that are not impactful enough in the game to tutor for a more impactful creature. Fauna brings a toolbox effect with Elves since she can get any creature and untap effects work really well with her to chain tutor.
Elvish Harbinger and Circle of Dreams Druid are much more price then the Elves you could cut for them, but they're among the better Elves in the tribe. Circle is another mass mana combo Elf, it's Gaea's Cradle effect and Harbinger is an Elf tutor that's also a mana Elf who can make black mana. Elvish Guidance isn't an Elf, but it's another mass mana effect and after enchanting a Forest pair with Arbor Elf.
Some nonElf upgrades to consider:
- Staff of Domination --> Door of Destinies
- Cultist of the Absolute --> Crown of Skemfar
- Patriarch's Bidding --> Return Upon the Tide
- Assassin's Trophy or Beast Within --> Putrefy
- Victimize --> Lead the Stampede
Staff of Domination is most powerful artifact with Elves since it can make infinite green mana with any of the mass mana Elves (Priest, Archdruid, Circle, Marwyn, etc.) if they can make at least 5 mana. Infinite green is then paid into Staff to draw as much of your deck as you want to find Ezuri wincon or to get at least 10 Elves in your control. Lathril's tap 10 Elves to make each opponent lose 10 life can be a wincon with Staff since Staff can infinite untap Lathril and 10 Elves.
Cultist of the Absolute is busted with Lathril for only 1 mana. Without any other boost to p/t it makes Lathril a 5/6 flying/deathtouch/menace threat. The combination of having menace and deathtouch makes combat a nightmare for opponent. Lathril provides the creature sac fodder that's needed to fuel Absolute. Patriarch's Bidding is mass reanimation of Elves for 5 mana.
Door of Destinies isn't a good anthem effect card since it doesn't pump anything without casting an Elf the same turn you play it meaning need more than 4 mana to get any value at all. For 4 mana you can do much better if an anthem effect is what you want.
Some land upgrades to consider:
- Rogue's Passage --> Myriad Landscape
- Twilight Mire --> Blooming Marsh
- Woodland Chasm --> Skemfar Elderhall
Over a couple of turns Rogue's Passage alone with Lathril can build you an Elf army, that's pretty good for a land. Twilight Mire for 1 green mana can make BB and that's helpful when green mana is much more plentiful than black mana, but black mana is also important.
Woodland Chasm is another Golgari dual land that Verdant or Wood to get. Blooming Marsh will rarely ETB untapped making it much worse land then it appears especially for it's price. Fast lands are better in formats where you can play 4x of them for consistency of having them the first three turns of a game. Fast lands are overpriced dual lands in Commander.
Good luck with your deck.

Hey, well done for a first deck on a budget. Good job adding more one drop mana Elves and Ezuri :)
Sol Ring, Elvish Archdruid and Command Tower are missing. All are excellent budget cards for this deck. Lathril's 2/3 base p/t with menace is not enough to reliably do much Commander damage without help. Consider expanding on three directions you can go to give Lathril help?
- More Elf lords and other anthem effects to increase her p/t.
- More +1/+1 counters sources or pump until end of turn to increase her p/t.
- Effects, Auras or Equipment that increases p/t and/or provide more evasion for attacking.
Playing a combination of all these can increase the consistency of support for Lathril doing Commander damage.
- Elvish Archdruid, Joraga Warcaller, Canopy Tactician, Sylvan Anthem
- Tyvar Kell, Immaculate Magistrate, Timberwatch Elf, Tyrite Sanctum
- Cultist of the Absolute, Elderfang Venom, Rogue's Passage, Thunderfoot Baloth
Elvish Archdruid and Tyvar Kell are very good tribal cards for Elves. Cultist of the Absolute for one mana is one of the most powerful ways to help Lathril, 5/6 p/t with tons of evasion. The combination of flying, deathtouch and menace makes Lathril a scary threat who opponents aren't going to want to block. Deathtouch with menace is a great combination of abilities because any creature who blocks Lathril will die in combat. Lathril provides token creature fodder to pay the sac cost of Cultist at your upkeep.
Elderfang Venom and Thunderfoot Baloth evasion applies to all Elves you control and that can be helpful for big attacks with token Elves. It can improve gameplay when you can get beneficial effects from lands that help your Commander.
Some changes to consider:
- Sol Ring --> Fellwar Stone
- Command Tower --> 1x Swamp
- Elvish Archdruid --> Deadbridge Shaman
- Tyvar Kell --> Panharmonicon
- Cultist of the Absolute --> Eyeblight Cullers
- Joraga Warcaller --> Titania, Nature's Force
- Immaculate Magistrate --> Skull Prophet
- Timberwatch Elf --> Llanowar Druid
- Canopy Tactician --> Llanowar Tribe
- Elderfang Venom --> Mage Hunters' Onslaught
- Sylvan Anthem --> Llanowar Loamspeaker
- Thunderfoot Baloth --> Doom Blade
- Rogue's Passage --> 1x Swamp
- Tyrite Sanctum --> 1x Forest
Panharmonicon is an expensive price card here that's really not doing much because you have some creature enter the battlefield (ETB) effects, but not enough to play a four drop card to increase them. Titania, Nature's Force is fun card for Elementals, but she doesn't really belong with Lathril as Commander.
Good luck with your deck.

Even if you don't go all in on Elves, I would think you'll have enough elves to make Elvish Archdruid and Priest of Titania solid. There is also Fyndhorn Elves if you want another 1 drop elf dork, they are good creatures. Maybe Wirewood Channeler? There are plenty of elves that like to have access to either lots of mana or lots of other elves, stuff like Joraga Warcaller and Ezuri, Renegade Leader can soak up mana, Immaculate Magistrate can pump up a Warcaller or something else you want big, Wellwisher might like Alchemist or Blossoming Bogbeast.
I suspect if you're going to run Alchemist you might as well look at Primal Command as well, with Alchemist out it's 5 mana to get 7 mana (or more if you gained other life) and you tutor up any creature you want, which sounds good. It's also able to get rid of problematic permanents, or deal with a graveyard, and it's not like tutoring up a creature is ever a bad effect. I think it's underplayed in decks that care about it's effects (it's an incredibly versatile utility card) and run enough ramp that they can cast it on time or earlier.
Overrun is solid, but Overwhelming Stampede can be much better if you want an upgrade. There is also the Bogbeast and Ezrui I mentioned above, I think each is better in it's own ways, but I will say Overrun can still surprise people. There is also Triumph of the Hordes, Infect and trample are really scary if you've got a few creatures out. There is also Craterhoof Behemoth, but you do want a really wide board before it comes out, so I find Overwhelming Stampede or Pathbreaker Ibex are technically superior cards, my Green decks tend to go tall.
Hopefully these suggestions aren't too competitive leaning, it's fun to play casual games, to use cards you don't always use.

that_dude33 what's your reasoning? Immaculate Magistrate provides more incremental value while the warcaller is a huge finisher so I'm just curious why one over the other
