Gameplay notes
The three-color cost is the real price — he needs fixing. The discard from his draw trigger loads more Elves into the graveyard for his first ability.
Key synergies
In the graveyard, Woodland Weavemaster gives Thranduil its mana ability. Because X uses Thranduil's own power, he can tap for five mana to cast Elf spells or activate Elf-source abilities, including other abilities he has copied.
Silvan Rally can mill Elf cards into the graveyard for Thranduil to copy while finding lands for his demanding colors. Casting the legendary Elf half afterward triggers Thranduil's draw-two-discard-one ability, and its anthem improves the surrounding Elf deck.
Elrond entering triggers Thranduil's draw-two, and any borrowed graveyard ability Thranduil activates triggers Elrond's draw. The two legendary Elves feed each other.
Galion is a legendary Elf, so casting it while Thranduil is in play triggers Thranduil to draw two cards and discard one, adding immediate value to Galion's efficient body.
Once the Harper is in the graveyard, Thranduil can use its activated ability to make a creature unblockable. Making Thranduil's 5-power body unblockable provides a reliable late-game mana sink and fast clock.
Guardian in the graveyard gives Thranduil a repeatable late-game ability to put three +1/+1 counters on himself, turning the already large body into an increasingly dominant threat.
