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

Combos with Lathril

Lathril + Quest for Renewal with 4 counters + 10 Elves Lathril + infinite mana combo with Staff of Domination + 10 Elves Quest for Renewal lets me untap all creatures I control at each opponent's turn which with Lathril means each opponent loses 10 life on each opponent's turn. Being able to tap Lathril on each player's turn to make all opponents lose 10 life can equal with four players a loss of at least 40 life for each opponent for one cycle of players' turns.

Staff of Domination can be the mana sink when I make the infinite mana combo with a big mana producer to repeatedly untap Lathril + 10 Elves to be a win condition.

Lathril + Immaculate Magistrate + Copperhorn Scout It scales to make Lathril and Scout bigger each turn I attack which can create more Elves each time and it lets me use Lathril's tap ability with all the Elves she just created after combat. Timberwatch Elf can replace Magistrate, but the +X/+X pump goes away at end of turn.

Infinite Mana Combos

Big mana producer (Priest of Titania/Elvish Archdruid/Marwyn, the Nurturer) who can make at least 5 mana + Staff of Domination to make infinite green mana Use infinite mana with Staff to draw into a win condition mana sink if I need it: Ezuri, Renegade Leader, Elvish Warmaster, Leyline of Abundance, Joraga Warcaller

Leyline of Abundance + Devoted Druid + Ezuri, Renegade Leader to make infinite green mana, infinite +3/+3 with trample pump for Elves and infinite +1/+1 counters Devoted is the big mana producer thanks to the extra mana from Abundance and able to untap herself. Each time Devoted taps for mana she makes two green. The mana sinks are Ezuri and Abundance; Ezuri to give Elves trample and Abundance to give them infinite +1/+1 counters which cancels out -1/-1 counters on Devoted allowing her to make infinite mana.

+1/+1 Counter Theme

Joraga Warcaller, Marwy, the Nurturer and Immaculate Magistrate are such good Elves with Lathril, together as well as with Elf tokens thus there's a +1/+1 counter theme. Warcaller able to make Lathril as well as all other Elves I control huge becomes much better when I can add more counters onto him later in the game with Magistrate, Joraga Chieftain, Leyline of Abundance, Tyvar Kell.

Other creatures can really benefit from being able to put +1/+1 counters on creatures. Champion of Lambholt to make creatures I control unblockable. Copperhorn Scout to safely attack and trigger her untap ability. Devoted Druid +1/+1 counters cancel -1/-1 counters.

Various Two Card Interactions

Fallen Ideal enchanted to Lathril + Elderfang Venom to drain opponents and make Lathril huge until end of turn. Birchlore Rangers with Miara, Thorn of the Glade and/or Ezuri, Renegade Leader to pay for their abilities while being tapped out. Arbor Elf + Elvish Guidance enchant a Forest.

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.

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.

Will add Tyvar the Bellicose once released
