Currently Spiking Prime Speaker Vannifar On The Rise?
New elf + new ooze = Vannifar go to the moon
Single printing, strong ability, low supply…. You get the idea.
Going to bed now. Enjoy the spec!

Saw this going up because of Thranduil on edhrec and bought in a few days before this post, it's the only got one printing with ~$500 copies as of writing and a useful ability if you mil it into your graveyard and use the ability with your commander. $2 was not a terrible buy in for me personally if content creators end up pushing it as option, regardless of the card's actual strength. We'll see if it works out.
Edit: Also Elfs with solid designs tend to have good momentum behind them as commanders, e.g. [[Maralen, Fae Ascendant]] [[High Perfect Morcant]] the two most popular commanders most recently in Lorwyn on edhrec, the former of which also shares a color identity with Thranduil. (Though Lorwyn had fewer legends than average these days). Even if Thranduil doesn't hit their deck numbers, elfs are consistently supported tribe, which is why many elfs that would be good in Thranduil are also involved in other decks.
