How Elven Empire plays

An elf tribal deck, Elven Empire is a really nice intro to the Commander format with a simple tribal theme. That’s all there is to it, though, to be honest. Unlike the rogues deck from the ZNR line that can attack on many axes, this is just a deck that likes to turn sideways, which doesn’t translate into many pods.

It doesn’t really work well in multiplayer gameplay, either, from my playtesting. It can’t do a lot other than turn sideways and ramp. None of the “big” threats are big enough to make a sizable impact.

Lathril, Blade of the Elves is a great way to win the game with elves, although the underpowering of the deck means that she can never quite get there. With that being said, she could do really well in a shell with the right explosiveness.
