Bracket: 5

Deck overview

Maralen, Fae Ascendant is a Sultai Elf/Faerie value engine that doubles as a Food Chain combo outlet. The primary plan is to play cheap Elves and Faeries, stack Maralen's exile triggers to mill opponents and cast their cards for free, while building a small evasive board. The deterministic finish is Food Chain plus Eternal Scourge or Misthollow Griffin, producing infinite creature-only mana, then repeatedly recasting Maralen from the command zone while Obyra, Dreaming Duelist turns each Faerie entry into life loss. Backup lines use Deadeye Navigator/Cloud of Faeries and Displacer Kitten/Eternal Witness/Dark Ritual for recursion and mana. Bolas's Citadel and a dense tutor package provide card advantage and line selection. The commander's exile-mill also enables a theft/free-cast subgame.
