Sultai Etali for $100 by GlitchCircuit

Commander: Maralen, Fae Ascendant

Bracket: 5

Deck overview

This is a high-velocity Sultai Elf/Faerie value-combo deck helmed by Maralen, Fae Ascendant. The plan floods the board with Elf mana dorks and Faerie bodies, then leverages Maralen's ETB mill-and-exile trigger plus her once-per-turn free cast scaled to your Elf/Faerie count. Primary wins are interlocking infinite-mana and infinite-token loops in the 99-Deadeye Navigator + Peregrine Drake, Intruder Alarm + Presence of Gond, and related untap engines-finishing through decking via Maralen triggers, Hullbreaker Horror locks, or overwhelming combat. A dense transmute and creature-tutor package (Chord of Calling, Nature's Rhythm, Shared Summons, Bring to Light) stitches the lines together, while wheels plus Notion Thief and a tight counter suite protect the window. Maralen is a powerful engine and free-cast outlet but is not required for the combo kills themselves.
