What it does
Flying
Whenever Maralen or another Elf or Faerie you control enters, exile the top two cards of target opponent's library.
Once each turn, you may cast a spell with mana value less than or equal to the number of Elves and Faeries you control from among cards exiled with Maralen this turn without paying its mana cost.
Rulings
4 official rulings, in the order Wizards published them.
- 2025-11-17
If an exiled card has X in its mana cost, X is 0 for the purpose of determining its mana value.
- 2025-11-17
Since you are using an alternative cost to cast the spell, you can't pay any other alternative costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, you must pay those.
- 2025-11-17
If the spell you cast has X in its mana cost, you must choose 0 as the value of X when casting it without paying its mana cost.
- 2025-11-17
If Maralen enters at the same time as one or more other Elves or Faeries you control, its first ability will trigger for each of those other Elves and Faeries as well as itself.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
