All Life succumbs to the gnawing ravages of time, succumbs to death. Death, in turn, gives way to new life. We fall, we perish, we return to the soil. And from the soil, life springs anew. And it is Meren's guiding hand that eases you through this process.

My Meren deck loves to focus on growth. Ramp, ramp, ramp, feed the soil and grow the trees. It's designed around a more casual playgroup, so I love using that leeway to focus on ramping to a rediculous degree. Cultivate, Rampant Growth, Kodama's Reach, Groth Spasm, Primal Growth, and more, just from the sorceries. Where it really gets growing is when you land your Sakura-Tribe Elder or Yavimaya Elder.

I don't use much one-shot recursion. There aren't many mandatory creatures requiring an entire deck spot just for a single use revival spell. Mostly I just rely on Meren, or possibly Sheoldred. Rise of the Dark Realms also deserves a mention, though it usually ends up as a wincon by itself.

For the most part, however, the deck likes its small creatures. Caustic Caterpillar and Sylvok Replica keep the non-creature threats at bay, while Fleshbag Marauder, Merciless Executioner, and Slum Reaper are the three cogs that keep the field safe and untrodden. Eldrazi spawn tokens play a big role in giving Meren her experience counters, and they work amazingly with Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos, and Butcher of Malakir.

The final win either comes through attrition, or Tooth and Nail fetching your Mike&Trike combo for an instant game. The only groans come when Tooth and Nail are in your opening hand and you can ramp to in on turn 4-5. Not the friendliest thing to do in a casual deck.
