Ooh. I wonder if this will get the attention of the 5CRC. What do you think, Abe? Its an essential for sure.

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.
2/3

This card scares the shit out of me!

I doubt we'll take action on such a two-sided card.

You know, after thinking about for a day, its not all that great afterall. If its that much of a threat to not be able to draw crads, the first card your opponent will tutor for is StP. One white mana & problem solved. Maralen kinda sucks in this scenario, no more than a BB1 Black Lightning Bolt.

I put Maralen in the same category as Guided Passage. Its a card that looks absoluetly nuts at first, but you quickly realze it actually stinks the first time you cast it.

At least I had about 7 1/2 hours of gleeful anticipation. Bleh.
