I absolutely do not get the Lathril-as-Comnander hype. Elf Tribal in particular excels with the wealth of options for Elf-Tutor effects, and Green in general provides endless return-from-GY-to-hand Sorceries (Regrowth being the archetypal example, which has amusingly been power crept by way of casting cost in modern Regrowth-like fare), so playing Lathril in the 99 with the intention of bringing her out when you’re ready to use her is, well, easy. I just don’t consider her serial replayability to be enough of an advantage to pass on an option like Tyvar the Bellicose. (I have a hard time chaining myself to Mono Green, but Selvala, Heart of the Wilds does a good job of tempting me where Ezuri failed to. Maybe it’s my bias towards considering Elf Tribal a better-ramping alternative to Hydra Tribal, but I’ve gotten really leery of trying to go wide when I *can’t* go high. There are so many good Elf Commanders now that I think a bit of the bloom is off the rose, with respect to Lathril. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve engaged in some absolutely nauseating Lathril + Voice of the Woods + Parallel Lives action to bury the table in 7/7 Tramplers while still holding my Convoke Haymaker in reserve, I just question how much Lathril helps you early.
Love this commander. I have been playing her for years and shes super powerful!
Definetly is!!
Would you mind sharing your decklist as well?
It's not the best opening. But your right cool box!
Yeah!
