It would be a good fight I must say. I have a vintage control/stall deck that uses Maralen of the Mornsong and Stranglehold combo. I want to make a good modern control deck. My first magic deck was a stasis trap deck back in 99 when I first got into magic

Shrieking Affliction , Dark Deal , Maralen of the Mornsong , and Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage would all do some serious work in this deck.

Maralen of the Mornsong and Wishclaw Talisman are both solid wincons in this deck.

I'd like to say that I am sure we all realize the need and desire to run Maralen of the Mornsong ; You get a free tutor every turn for just 3 life. You also lock down draw engines, putting a nail in the tire of any deck that wants to out-speed you.

The problem is you also give everyone an answer. They get to find that silver bullet to blow up your Thrumming Stone , to wrath your rats, to end your game.

== IF == you want to run her, do yourself a gigantic favor and also run Ob Nixilis, Unshackled . Also maybe some sort of hexproof, such as Mask of Avacyn ?

Though they can just blow up the artifact first.

Idk. But layer yourself appropriately.

I would swap out Maralen of the Mornsong for Sidisi, Undead Vizier . You're much better off not giving your opponents a chance to tutor. Would also recommend Mogis's Marauder as another haste enabler.

RNR_Gaming on Sidisi, lands kinda matter?

You missed the og damage reducer Dark Sphere I've seen a lot of iterations of this deck and it always wins at least once. There was an article a long ways back before sidis came out all about this deck; the cheap version and the over the top version it used Maralen of the Mornsong

Deruvid I’m hesitant to cut out all the her Elvish Harbinger or all of the Summoner's Pact . Mostly because I’m a situation when I have trouble getting the right card draw, Summoner's Pact allows me to tutor for Elvish Harbinger . After getting her I can search for Elvish Promenade or I move to pull out Maralen of the Mornsong which then leads to me tutor for Doubling Season .

Notes from game on 09/08/2019:

Rock Stars:

• Bloodchief Ascension
• Exsanguinate - took out 3 players simultaneously
• Hex Parasite - OMG belongs in almost any black deck
• Lake of the Dead
• Overwhelming Forces
• Painful Quandary
• Phyrexian Obliterator
• Staff of the Death Magus
• Sword of Light and Shadow

Worth Considering for Removal:

• Arcane Lighthouse - unlikely to need / redundant with Detection Tower
• Lich's Mirror - I made a dumb mistake not paying enough attention to the win condition
• Maralen of the Mornsong (sigh) this was originally her deck
• Ob Nixilis, Unshackled - keep for at least one more round
• Platinum Emperion - belongs in another deck, redundant with Platinum Angel
• Soldevi Digger - very unlikely to need
• The Haunt of Hightower - I want to make this a better card than it really is, but I have to face it.

Replacements:

• Ancient Tomb
• Expedition Map
• Jet Medallion
• Liliana of the Veil
• Liliana Vess
• Sorin Markov
