Maralen, Fae Bae by Jaenari

Format: Commander

Commander: Maralen, Fae Ascendant

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a Sultai Elf/Faerie tribal deck helmed by Maralen, Fae Ascendant. The plan is to flood the board with cheap Elves and Faeries, use them as ramp and token generation, then leverage Maralen's passive to exile the top two cards of opponents' libraries and cast them for free once per turn. The deck's primary win conditions are a wide combat swing with a lorded-up Elf army, or the Intruder Alarm + multi-mana dork + token-producer infinite loop, which can be finished through Lathril, Blade of the Elves's drain ability. A dense package of mana dorks (Llanowar Elves, Priest of Titania, Elvish Archdruid, etc.) accelerates into Maralen and the combo pieces. It is a midrange value deck with explosive turns, but it is heavily creature-dependent and vulnerable to board wipes.
