Strategy
Lathril is an elf lord that rewards you for attacking with a token-generating engine. Every time she deals combat damage, you create that many elf tokens, which quickly balloons your board state. Your core gameplan is to attack early and often, build up a critical mass of elves, then either win through combat damage from your growing army or activate Lathril's finisher ability to drain the table for lethal.
The deck leans into elf synergies—lords like Elvish Archdruid and Imperious Perfect amplify your token army, while cards like Craterhoof Behemoth or Triumph of the Hordes turn your wide board into a finishing blow. You'll also pack ramp and card draw to fuel the engine. The secondary drain win condition (tapping ten elves) gives you a backup path when combat stalls, so you're not purely dependent on evasion.

Key Synergies
Budget Build
Skip the pricey elf lords initially; Elvish Archdruid and Imperious Perfect carry the load. Use mid-range ramp like Cultivate over Grim Tutor, and lean on efficient token generators like Talentless Apprentice or Bitterblossom instead of premium slots.
