Players can't draw cards.
At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player loses 3 life, searches their library for a card, puts it into their hand, then shuffles.
Mox strategy
Maralen of the Mornsong is a powerful lockpiece and tutor engine in black. Her biggest strength is shutting off normal card draw while forcing each player to tutor every turn, which can completely reshape the game and punish opponents reliant on raw card advantage.
Best use cases are combo, stax, and discard-focused decks. She is strongest when you can break the symmetry or prevent opponents from using the tutor, since giving everyone a guaranteed card each turn is dangerous.
Strong synergies include effects that stop opponents from tutoring or searching profitably, such as Opposition Agent or Stranglehold, and pieces that let you exploit the guaranteed search better than the table. She also pairs well with effects that make life loss matter, since her trigger drains 3 every turn cycle.
Key mechanics she supports are resource denial, tutor locking, and inevitability through repeated life loss. Build around protecting her and turning the forced search into a one-sided advantage, or she can easily help your opponents more than you.
