Maralen of the Mornsong combo deck where the goal is to play her as fast as possible to search for Ad Nauseam, cast it and draw my whole deck to assemble my combo, winning the game on the spot. Usually people would do something simple like 96 swamps with just Sickening Dreams and Dark Sphere, but I wanted to go with something a bit more convoluted and stylish. Once I am able to successfully search for and cast Ad Nauseam, the combo would go as follows:

Drop Lotus Petal for 0, tap it and sac it for 1 black mana

Use that 1 black mana for Dark Ritual, adding 3 black mana

Use 2 of that 3 black mana for Zombie Infestation

Discard 2 swamps to make a zombie token with Zombie Infestation, and use my remaining 1 black mana to cast Culling the Weak, sacrificing the zombie token, and adding 4 black mana

Use 3 of that black mana for Phyrexian Altar

Drop Dark Depths

Discard 4 swamps to make 2 zombie tokens with Zombie Infestation, sacrifice them to the altar for 2 black mana for Vampire Hexmage

Sacrifice the Vampire Hexmage to remove the 10 ice counters from Dark Depths, making 20/20 flying/indestructible Marit Lage

Discard 6 swamps to make 3 zombie tokens with Zombie Infestation, sacrifice them to the altar for 3 black mana for Swiftfoot Boots attached to Marit Lage to give it hexproof and haste

Discard 8 swamps to make 4 zombie tokens with Zombie Infestation, sacrifice them to the altar for 4 black mana for Hot Soup attached to Marit Lage to give it unblockable

Discard 4 swamps to make 2 zombie tokens with Zombie Infestation, sacrifice them to the altar for 2 black mana for Glistening Oil attached to Marit Lage to give it infect

Finally, attack with 20/20 flying/indestructible/hexproof/haste/unblockable/infect Marit Lage, giving the opponent 20 poison counters, which is 10 or more, so you win

The rest of the deck is mostly mana ritual spells to accelerate the combo, a few kill spells to get rid of any possible threats on the board, and a few discard spells to get rid of any threats in the hand, but other than that, that's all there is to it.

Let me know what you think, comments and suggestions are welcome, thanks for looking.
