Overview

Wanting to build an Elf-tribal deck and lacking a Golgari deck in my collection, I decided to pick up the Elven Empire commander precon from Kaldheim and tune it to something that can keep up with my meta.

This deck aims to play a lot of Elves, make a lot of Elf tokens and then tap Lathril and 10 of her Elf-kin to drain my opponents to death. Repeatedly.

Alternatively, sometimes my big Elf army can just attack for a win - using my many Elf Lords or one of the following to make my Elves lethally big:

• Craterhoof Behemoth
• Allosaurus Shepherd
• Elvish Warmaster
• Ezuri, Renegade Leader

As much as I would love to include Eladamri, Yavimaya Hollow or Cradle, they're out of my price range. Pity though, those would be great in here :D

I'm tracking all my changes from the original precon in updates below so you can see how this evolves.

Infinite Mana

Use Staff of Domination to untap big mana producers like Circle of Dreams Druid, Elvish Archdruid, Priest of Titania or Wirewood Channeler with 5 or more elves in play will generate infinite mana.

With infinite mana, use the staff to continue drawing cards until you hit a win condition. This could just be one of the finishers above, or it could be something that can take advantage of infinite mana to pump up all the Elves such as Ezuri, Renegade Leader or Elvish Warmaster. Or a routine Torment of Hailfire for a ton of damage.

Or use the staff to untap Lathril and her 10 Elf buddies to activate her ability repeatedly, killing off your opponents.

Extra Elf ETB

Wirewood Symbiote can bounce Elves back to your hand, allowing repeated value off ETB creatures like Elvish Harbinger, Harald, King of Skemfar, Reclamation Sage, Shaman of the Pack or Skemfar Shadowsage.

Wirewood Symbiote can also untap those big mana producers like Circle of Dreams Druid, Elvish Archdruid, Priest of Titania or Wirewood Channeler for the potential of generating infinite mana again.

Maybe Board

These are things I would love to include, if only I could think of what to cut to make room. Do you have suggestions on what I should cut to add something from the Maybe Board? Please let me know in the comments below.
