Deck overview

Maralen, Fae Ascendant is a Sultai Elf/Faerie combo-mill deck. It accelerates with tribal mana dorks, uses Maralen's enter trigger to exile two cards from opponents' libraries, and then exploits a blink engine to mill entire libraries. The primary plan is to assemble infinite mana with Lilysplash Mentor and Peregrine Drake, then use Deadeye Navigator to blink Maralen repeatedly, emptying every opponent's library. Secondary paths include an Elf-token beatdown/drain package around Lathril and Imperious Perfect, plus a Hullbreaker Horror/Cloud of Faeries back-up mana loop. Maralen is the main mill vector and occasionally a one-shot free-cast source, while tutors hold the deck together.
