It’s the optimized version of my Budget Lathril deck I promised! Better Elves, better spells, better tutors, MORE tutors.

Our best opening hand has two to three lands, Mana Crypt or Sol Ring , and Hero's Blade . Makes a 5/5 Lathril on Turn 2 and gets us lots of tokens on Turn 3.

No, I don’t think any of the commonly played cEDH mana rocks are necessary here. This deck wouldn’t last three turns at a table with those decks, so let’s not pretend it could.
