On this weeks episode Daniel and Slothy talk Thranduil, the Elvenking. This commander enables us to draw tons of cards and abuse activated abilities of cards in our graveyard. It has a ton of ramp and…
It is two black, green, blue for a 5/6 legendary elf noble.
Thranduil has all activated abilities of all elf cards in your graveyard, and whenever another legendary elf you control enters, draw two cards, then discard a card.
This is such a cool commander.
Mm.
I love doing graveyard stuff, I love putting stuff away, and then kind of, like, pseudo, like, I don't wanna say, like, pseudo, like, Voltrony, but you just get so much stuff on Thranduil, it's insane.

Yeah.
You know? Right, like, it's, it's, it's a very, very cool...
