The Commander
Whenever Imaryll attacks, it gets +X/+X until end of turn, where X is the number of other Elves you control.
You may have Imaryll assign its combat damage as though it weren't blocked.
Guide
Gameplan
Imaryll is a mono-green Elf tribal commander that flexes between aggressive go-wide tribal and a Voltron-style beater. Flood the board with cheap Elves, ramp hard, then swing with Imaryll, who grows by the number of other Elves you control and tramples/connects through blockers thanks to its unblockable-damage ability. You close games by either swinging wide with a buffed army or pushing lethal commander damage in a single connecting hit.
Strengths
- Imaryll's damage ability ignores blockers, making commander damage kills very reliable
- Massive Elf count both fuels mana ramp (Elvish Archdruid, Priest of Titania) and Imaryll's pump
- Mono-green consistency and access to powerful tribal payoffs
- Cheap, recurring threats make it resilient to single-target removal
Weaknesses
- Board wipes are devastating since the deck leans on a wide Elf board
- Heavily commander-dependent for the Voltron line; repeated Imaryll removal slows you down
- Mono-green struggles with interaction, lacking counterspells and flexible removal
- Vulnerable to fog effects and damage-prevention since it relies on combat
Key Cards
- Elvish Archdruid — Anthem plus enormous mana based on Elf count, accelerating into big turns.
- Priest of Titania — Explosive mana scaling with every Elf you control to power out threats and equipment.
- Craterhoof Behemoth — Turns a wide Elf board plus Imaryll into instant lethal trample damage.
- Rhonas the Indomitable — Cheap trampling threat that can also pump Imaryll for a one-shot commander kill.
- Heroic Intervention — Protects your fragile Elf army and Imaryll from board wipes and targeted removal.
- Elvish Promenade — Doubles your Elf count in one card, massively spiking Imaryll's attack trigger.
Upgrade Path
Add fast mana and ramp like Sol Ring, Mana Crypt, and Cradle-style payoffs (Gaea's Cradle, Growing Rites) to power out threats earlier. Tighten the curve with the best Elf lords and add Voltron support like Loxodon Warhammer, Rancor, and shroud/hexproof boots; include Triumph of the Hordes and Craterhoof for explosive finishes. Round out with protection (Heroic Intervention, Tyvar's Stand) and a Finale of Devastation as a tutor-plus-finisher.
