Oracle Text

Players can't draw cards.

At the beginning of each player's draw step, that player loses 3 life, searches their library for a card, puts it into their hand, then shuffles.

Maralen sent Veesa, Endry, and Iliona—the Vendilion clique—on the gravest of tasks.

Maralen prevents players from drawing cards for any reason, including as a cost, as an effect, and as a result of the “draw a card” turn-based action during the draw step.

4/1/2008·wotc

While Maralen is on the battlefield, no player can lose the game due to being instructed to draw a card with an empty library.

4/1/2008·wotc

While Maralen is on the battlefield, a player can’t choose to draw cards (or choose to have another player draw cards) as a spell or ability resolves. For example, if you cast the Development side of Research // Development (“Put a 3/1 red Elemental creature token onto the battlefield unless any opponent lets you draw a card. Repeat this process two more times.”), you’ll put three Elemental tokens onto the battlefield because your opponents can’t “let you draw a card.”
