Looking for cards to punish searching Libraries

Trying to put together a deck based on Maralen of the Mornsong so looking for things like Archive Trap or Shadow of Doubt
For modern, there really isn't much. There's stuff like Leonin Arbiter and Aven Mindcensor , but that's about it.
A lot of cards that do that are commander-related, like Stranglehold and Widespread Panic .

Leonin Arbiter & Aven actually work well for my build. Thanks!

There is also Mindlock Orb , but it will hurt you as well.

Cosi's Trickster is somewhat playable, but remembering its triggers is the hard part.

Stranglehold for brutal Grixis control. Liliana of the Dark Realms +1 for consistant land drops while your opponent flounders. Fetches for fixing. This looks like it's going to be an awesome build!

Ah didnt realize stranglehold was from the commander set. Hedron Crab and Haunting Echoes have great synergy with that lilianna and archive trap.

Careful with Leonin Arbiter . He hits everyone, not just your opponent.

I tried to put together a Maralen deck too, sadly didn't got liked much, but it might bring up some inspiration and whatnot.

well here is my build. keep in mind it has not been play tested and is still in early development.

The idea is to get Maralen on the board while having a significant threat in hand. Then tutor for stalls like Shadow of Doubt while casting your threat. Otherwise, Tutor for answers.
I clearly need to find more answers to put in the deck but that will come with play tests.

I think I've come to the conclusion that she fits better in mill than control.
