I've been moving into BW EnT recently and loving the tax aspect. What do you all think about a one-of Maralen, The Mournsong in our flex slot?
Obvious Christmas land: vial her in and search up mindcensor/arbiter then tax their draw step to oblivion.
Without Christmas: she has great synergy with a lot of the cards independently and self-assembles the rest. We incidentally hose cantrips. Can blink TKS without giving them the card draw. Never pull redundant Thalias. Grab smasher on-time to wreck face.
For the drawbacks: double black is tough to get T3 (we do have vial). She is a lightning rod for removal (what isn't in the deck?). Opponent gets to draw their silver bullet (occasionally we can vial/displacer in disruption). Worst case, opponent pulls their cheep instant speed removal spell to deal with her (shrug, at least she sent 3 to the dome first).
