hmm.. interesting idea, but it should be very hard to win with this deck.
You usually need 2 turns between playing Maralen and starting the combo. this means 2 turns for your enemies to get a counterspell or remove Maralen. And if a Counterspell like Faerie Trickery is used against Ad Nauseam or Sickening Dreams, the game is over.
The Elixir of Immortality is a good backup, but you'll need 3 additional mana to use it, which means a future delay in your combo, while you give your opponents a free tutor every turn.

Indeed, it's just a 30 bucks deck, built for fun, not competitive.

no offence, i just want to point out some weakspots of the deck.
I only play on "kitchentable-level" myself, but i can imagine what would happen if I would play the deck. The table would say thanks for the free tutor, ruin the combo and then ignore me, while still using the free tutor to speed up the game.

But okay, like you already said, its a fun deck, so it doesn't need to be that efficient.

I was also already thinking about how to make the combo a little more secure, but until now, i've got no good ideas.

I think that there are more efficent Maralen decks out there.. this was mainly a fun joke ti point out at your table, if no one knows that combo

For those who worry about counterspells, run Boseiju, Who Shelters All

[MrPonzi]
