Whenever Rhys attacks, you gain 1 life for each Elf you control.
, Sacrifice an Elf: Regenerate Rhys.
Build a wide Elf tribal board in Golgari, flood the field with mana-producing and token-generating Elves, then convert that army into damage and a sacrifice engine. Rhys gives you incidental lifegain on attacks and a recurring regeneration outlet, but the deck wins by going tall with overrun effects or grinding value through aristocrats-style sacrifice.
Add fast mana and tutors (Worldly Tutor, Survival of the Fittest, Chord of Calling) to assemble your Elfball or combo lines more consistently. Lean into one win axis—either overrun finishers or an aristocrats drain package with Blood Artist and Pitiless Plunderer—rather than splitting resources. Upgrade the mana base with dual lands and add board-wipe insurance like Heroic Intervention and recursion such as Eternal Witness.
