LOCK AND LAND by thedevil613

Format: Commander

Commander: Maralen of the Mornsong

Bracket: 4

Deck overview

This is a Maralen 'draw-step tutor' combo-control deck. The primary plan is to land Maralen early, copy her effect with Mornsong Aria, and use the two draw-step tutors to assemble Opposition Agent, Urborg/Cabal Coffers, and a lethal Torment of Hailfire. Opposition Agent converts opponents' forced searches into exiled cards you may cast, while Maralen/Aria drain life every draw step. The secondary path uses Glacial Chasm with Sickening Dreams as a one-shot finisher. With 72 lands and 27 spells, the deck is all acceleration and tutors; the commander is the entire engine, and every nonland card is chosen to enable or execute that tutor-drain plan.
