Deck overview

This is a Sultai Elf/Faerie tribal value engine commanded by Maralen, Fae Ascendant. The core loop is simple: every Elf or Faerie that enters exiles the top two cards of an opponent's library, and once per turn you may cast one of those cards for free, with the maximum mana value equal to your current tribe size. The deck pushes this loop aggressively with flash enablers - Vedalken Orrery, High Fae Trickster, Alchemist's Refuge, Emergence Zone - so Faeries arrive on every opponent's turn, feeding Alela, Cunning Conqueror tokens, Obyra, Dreaming Duelist drains, Blightwing Bandit thefts, and Archmage of Echoes copies that re-trigger the whole train. The win is a slow grind rather than a combo: flyer beats, Shadow Puppeteers turning the swarm into 4/4 Dragons, and Oona, Queen of the Fae milling players out once mana runs high. It is a midrange control-value deck that wins on sheer card quantity, opponent-turn flash density, and incremental life-loss.
