About Maralen of the Mornsong

Maralen of the Mornsong, Legendary creature — elf wizard, designed by Mark Zug first released in Feb, 2008 in the set Morningtide. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 50.50. It's a key card in 3 combos.

This card, Maralen of the Mornsong, could benefit a deck focused on disrupting opponents' card advantage strategies by preventing them from drawing cards and forcing them to lose life to search for cards. However, the downside of allowing opponents to search for cards could potentially backfire if they find answers to your strategy. While Maralen can be a powerful tool in certain situations, there are likely better options available that provide similar disruption without giving opponents an advantage, such as Narset, Parter of Veils or Notion Thief, making Maralen of the Mornsong less optimal for competitive play in most cases.

Rules

04/01/08

Maralen prevents players from drawing cards for any reason, including as a cost, as an effect, and as a result of the “draw a card” turn-based action during the draw step.

04/01/08

The effect of the triggered ability is mandatory. The life loss isn’t a payment; you’ll lose 3 life even if you have 3 or less life left. Unless your library is empty, you must put a card from your library into your hand.

04/01/08

While Maralen is on the battlefield, replacement effects that instruct a player to do something instead of drawing a card won’t work.
