This Deck is all about crearures entering and leaving ... the GRAVEYARD.

Our Commander Meren of Clan Nel Toth provides us with a very powerful recursion engine to re-use our creatures. This is why we play as many creatures as possible. It doesn't matter if we consider Draw, Ramp, Removal or anything else we will try to find creatures that do the job. Thereby we have some cards that allow is to benefit even more from sacing creatures besides Meren of Clan Nel Toth's strong effect.

It is very handy to have a free sac-outlet that generates Mana or other effects. Therefore is Viscera Seer a very good card since we can sac itself to scry and get an EP to reanimate the Viscera Seer at the end of the turn and it just costs 1 mana.

Since we profit from playing many creatures we prefer Haywire Mite and Foundation Breaker over Naturlize and Nature's Claim such as Plaguecrafter and Shriekmaw over Deadly Rollick and Infernal Grasp. For more mana we get Druid of Purification which can be devestating against Artifact- or Enchantment Decks or Massacre Wurm as a board whipe, especially when it enter's the battlefield multiple times in the same turn.

Same with Demon's Disciple and Plaguecrafter. These two arme great early creatures removal when the board isn't two full and can be recurred very fast.

If the board gets cleared we don't cry because of the many EP we gain from that. In addition to that cards like Greater Good or Skullclamp make it extremly unattractive to clear the board.

To allign the strategy we need three types of effects:

• free Sac-Outlets
• Payoffs for saccing creatures
• creatures wie can sac.

For the third category we chose creatures that have effects from the secound category, such as Viridian Emissary or Kokusho, the Evening Star. Furthermore we play many creatures with an Enter-the-Battlefield- (ETB-) effect because we can sac them without a tear since we already got the benefit and look forward to recurring it from the grave.

Another card to mention is Birthing Pod. We play a very solid curve and have a lot of very flexible utility creatures it is a very powerful card that can react to different threats on the board or bring out a threat itself. Therefore it is a very powerful card in this deck, it Belongs to all of the named categories.

As a Black Deck wie traditionally play a bit with our life (Toxic Delugue will be added soon). Therefore we should have some ways to gain some life. Next to some EDH Staples we also play Sword of Light and Shadow. On the one hand it can generate life and on the other hand it supports our strategy and allows us to Raise Dead a creature and is therefore another Meren of Clan Nel Toth effect. I also added a card that rarely sees play in EDH, in person of Doomgape. I think this card has a lot of potential. It allows us to sac a creature and gain some life. In lategame we can simply sac it to itself to gain 10 life each turn if necessary. This will work easily since one will always manage to get to 7 EP or even more (Highscore 21 EP). I won't waste anyone's time to talk about the self-explaining Disciple of Bolas.

Bayou and Liliana of the Veils will be added aus soon as I can crack the Riemann-Hypothesis.

This deck really needs a Bayou since wie only have Overgrown Tomb aus a two-colored am for the Fetchlands.

Talking about the landbase, you might wonder ehe I don't play Cabal Coffers. The reason is simple. Although wie play green we don't ramp too much, we even don't play Yavimaya Elder although it is a ramping creature. So we won't have two many lands on the field and we don't need to. This deck does not need a lot of lands to explode. We generate the extra Mana from Artifacts or lands like Phyrexian Tower. Therefore Cabal Coffers wouldn't do too much. Phyrexian Tower and High Market might be the best utility lands in this deck because of the Sac-effect for tapping without paying any Mana.

Another card I will add is Mikhaeus the unhollowed. He is really strong in this deck (has an infinite combo with Woodfall Primus to destroy all nonecreature permanents) but I don't have him yet.

An obvious weakness of the Deck is any piece of gravehate, so if we encounter an Scavaging Ouze we should rather get rid of it as fast aus possible. I really don't see an effective way out of this, I guess we will have to deal with it.

Currently trying out Augur of Autumn, Mitotic Slime, Crop Rotation and Junji

Maybe Incarnation Technique?
