Deck overview

This is a Sultai Elf/Faerie tribal deck helmed by Maralen, Fae Ascendant, built entirely around her exile-and-free-cast engine. Every Elf or Faerie that enters exiles the top two cards of an opponent's library, and Maralen lets you cast one of those exiled cards for free each turn if its mana value is within your Elf/Faerie count. The deck supercharges this with changeling enablers like Maskwood Nexus, Firdoch Core, and Springleaf Parade so every creature counts as both Elf and Faerie, and with Yarok, the Desecrated to double the exile triggers. The primary win is a wide combat board boosted by lords like Elvish Archdruid and Dwynen, Gilt-Leaf Daen, finished by Overwhelming Stampede, with Lathril, Blade of the Elves's activated drain and Oona, Queen of the Fae's mill as alternate lines.
