Strategy
Lathril, Blade of the Elves leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, putting +1/+1 counters on things and growing them out of range. The list holds 14 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 2 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.21.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Elvish Archdruid and the rest of the 14 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Lathril, Blade of the Elves on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Reclamation Sage is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Beast Whisperer keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Golgari Charm for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 2 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.21 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by growing a threat past what the table can answer and connecting with it.
