My take on Maralen, this is my jokerfied deck and has a sub-theme of forcing difficult decisions that will always play in our favor, even if just slightly. It is my main deck at the moment and is very political and fun to play but isn't very friendly.

Some combos:

Maralen of the Mornsong + Teferi's Puzzle Box - No one but me get’s a hand, albeit one card.

Maralen of the Mornsong + Ob Nixilis, Unshackled - Obvious

Maralen of the Mornsong + Opposition Agent - Obvious

Gibbering Descent (with hellbent) + Smokestack - You sacrifice, I don't!

Spreading Plague + Omen Machine or Gate to the AEther or Tainted AEther - Like playing Russian roulette with our decks... now you're talking my language!

Last Laugh + Tombstone Stairwell - Pain. Throw in a Death Pits of Rath and its more pain.
