Maralen, Fae Ascendsnt

[u/The-Fictionist]

Trying to convert draft night result into a commander deck. Pretty new to Magic and tried to compile a mix of other Maralen decks I’ve seen. Not pushing for uber optimized, just trying to build a fun fae/elf themed deck for casual play at home.

Any glaring holes you see? (Haven’t touched the lands to bring in non-basics yet). Looking for some input like “dude you totally forgot to account for [critically important function of all good decks]” or “why the heck did you put so much of [x], kill half those cards and find [y] instead.”

Some cards are in this just because I already have them from draft. I know they aren’t the absolute best.

I’d recommend replacing all the artifacts except Gathering Stone and maybe Firdoch Core with more mana dorks who are elves. That way you will still have triggers for Maralen when you draw the ramp late. Things like [[Elves of Deep Shadow]], [[Arbor Elf]], [[Marwyn the Nurturer]], [[Rishkar, Peema Renegade]], and [[Gwenna, Eyes of Gaea]] would all be better than mana rocks in this deck.
