B2+ Maralen - version 2 - on my turn by DoomedQuaker

Deck overview

This deck is a Sultai Elf and Faerie tribal deck helmed by Maralen, Fae Ascendant. It pairs low-cost tribal creatures with clone and blink engines to exile opposing libraries and cast stolen spells for free. Dense early ramp ensures Maralen arrives on Turn 4 to immediately start generating free value. The deck multiplies its commander's triggers using non-legendary clone spells such as Spark Double and Irenicus's Vile Duplication. Card draw engines like Edric, Spymaster of Trest and Beast Whisperer maintain continuous card velocity. The deck wins by attacking with evasive flying swarms cleared by Raise the Palisade, draining life with Obyra, Dreaming Duelist and Ayara, First of Locthwain, or executing an infinite flicker loop with Deadeye Navigator and Cloud of Faeries to exile all opposing libraries. While vulnerable to sweepers and lacking nonland tutors, its compounding engines provide strong midgame resilience.
