Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Elf and Faerie kindred deck piloted by Maralen, Fae Ascendant. The game plan combines traditional green-based mana acceleration with Maralen's unique theft engine. In the early game, cheap mana dorks like Elvish Mystic, Priest of Titania, and Bloom Tender establish a mana surplus. On turn 4, Maralen enters to exile opposing cards and immediately cheat spells into play proportional to your Elf and Faerie count. As the board grows with token makers such as Imperious Perfect, Lathril, Blade of the Elves, and Bitterbloom Bearer, your kindred lords increase your total combat power. Mid-game turns leverage card advantage from Maralen, Tatyova, Benthic Druid, and Reconnaissance Mission while counterspells defend key plays. The deck closes games around turns 7 to 9 via sweeping aerial and ground attacks buffed by multiple lords or large drain effects.
