What it does

Thranduil has all activated abilities of all Elf cards in your graveyard.

Whenever another legendary Elf you control enters, draw two cards, then discard a card.

Combos with Thranduil, the Elvenking

Lines this card is part of — what it needs alongside it, and what the two of them do. An infinite result is the one that moves a deck's bracket.

Combo data from Commander Spellbook, the community-maintained database of Magic combos. Mirrored nightly.

Rulings

3 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.

    Activated abilities contain a colon. They're generally written "[Cost]: [Effect]." Some keyword abilities are activated abilities and will have colons in their reminder text.

  • 2026-06-29

    If Thranduil, the Elvenking gains a set of linked activated abilities (for example, one ability that exiles a card and another that refers to the card "exiled with" the object), that link only lasts for as long as Thranduil has those abilities. If it loses the abilities and then regains them, the link is lost.

    If an activated ability of an Elf card in your graveyard references the card it's printed on by name, treat Thranduil, the Elvenking's instance of that ability as though it referenced Thranduil by name instead.

Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Every version of Thranduil, the Elvenking

3 printings, newest first. Prices are the market figures Scryfall publishes, refreshed nightly — a printing with no figure shows a dash rather than a zero, because Scryfall genuinely publishes none for some of them.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Thranduil, the Elvenking — a name search across every version, for the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.

Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only — no individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
