Players can't draw cards.
At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player loses 3 life, searches his or her library for a card, puts it into his or her hand, then shuffles his or her library.

Maralen burn
Love this Maralen of the Mornsong /Stranglehold concept! +1
Is a "general opinion" supposed to be an opinion about a general or a opinion in general?
Erebos, God of the Dead looks like it has potential. Hard to remove, supports any strategy. I wonder if there are enough black spirits for a good Infernal Kirin edh. Has anyone tried?
Some stupid idea I just had: Maralen of the Mornsong as commander, with a deck of Sanguine Bond , Exquisite Blood and 98 swamps...
Swamps
You have inspired me to make a functional deck with all swamps. Perhaps Maralen of the Mornsong as the general, a Corrupt and a Kormus Bell with the rest Swamp s
I have a combo EDH deck that use Maralen of the Mornsong to get Ad Nauseam and draw a lot of cards, then use Zombie Infestation to put a lot of zombies, i think it's really efective.
Although, the secret beauty behind Maralen of the Mornsong was that Sacrifice became a second Dark Ritual . I don't even get to take advantage of Burnt Offering now being legal.
Seismic Assault is another possibilty, although I would need red rituals. Simian Spirit Guide ?
The non-black possibilities are endless!
I agree with ChiefBell about Maralen being an unwise decision if there is an Island on the board. Not to mention every color has spot removal staples for cmc 3 of less. The best answer is probably loading up on Tutors.
I need tutors that cost 2 or less that can find an ad nauseum. I own a Demonic Tutor , Vampiric Tutor , and Cruel Tutor . I also own a plethora of unplayable tutors such as Diabolic Tutor , Increasing Ambition and Demonic Collusion . I called them unplayable due to not wanting to flip into something with cmc 4 or more with ad nauseum.
So Maralen of the Mornsong isn't the best general, and that's actually a good thing. I recently joined an EDH league where you have to commit to a General but not a decklist. My answer is going to be Child of Alara . With the Exploding Baby I can play Malfegor666, Shadowborn Scion (with an expanded Demon list!), and this deck with other gems such as Mystical Tutor and Gitaxian Probe . Maybe even slide in a Silence and Orim's Chant for extra protection.
Yawgmoth's Will will get a spot even though it costs 3.
I need to find a Scroll Rack .
The main problem is just that the minute anyone plays Maralen of the Mornsong the rest of the board grabs a Counterspell etc as quickly as possible.
Also. Unless your playing French rules, EDH is a multiplayer format, so I don't see how you're going to be able to kill everyone with a Tendrils of Agony .
It's a cool concept and I really like the ideabut I don't see it coherently working against 3 other players who realise that Maralen is bad news if you allow her to combo off.
Blood Bond (Assistance Requested)
You should also take out Maralen of the Mornsong
. I can't ever think of a time you would ever want to give your opponent the opportunity to pay three life and tutor any card in their library.
