Maralen is NOT a replacement effect (unlike Possessed Portal). This means that you never actually appear to be drawing a card. Thus, you cannot replace it with any action (compare this to the portal, which will see you start to draw a card, and if that is not replaced with anything, it will replace it with "nothing").
I'm about 95% positive on this. If you never reach the point where you start to draw a card, that draw cannot be replaced.

Assuming the wording we have at the moment is correct, you're correct Wildfire. Abundance and the Words cycle are replacement effects. With Maralen, there is no draw action, therefore there is nothing to replace. (Meaning you can't Dredge, either).
