Support Package Map
Cards that fit this commander
Cards are grouped from existing roles, support-package notes, and attached market context. These are cards to check, not a full decklist.
Elf mana6 cards
Cheap Elves and scalable Elf mana are the first Lathril checks because they cast the commander, rebuild after wipes, and power larger turns.
