This is my first go for a Meren deck. Like expected it is focused around sacrificing my creatures for recursion and various other payoffs. If you have seen a Meren deck, most of this is self explanatory.

Meren of Clan del North is the rockstar of the deck. The constant recursion she brings gives the deck some crazy synergy. Cards like Dawntreader Elk, Sakura-Tribe Elder and Yavimaya Elder help with mana ramping and thinning out the deck for better top decks. Not to mention being able to bring back from GY often due to low CMC and building up Experience counters. Fleshbag Marauder and Merciless Executioner are great for helping with board control and ramping Experience counters as well.

There are a few late game threats that have nice synergy with the deck as well. Jugan, the Rising Star, Worldspine Wurm, Verdurous Gearhulk, Terastodon and Sepulchral Primordial all have great utility and are heavy hitters that do some serious damage.

Any and all suggestions and feedback are greatly appreciated. Same with an upvote. I know there are some great pieces that are missing, but I am keeping this deck around $150 total. With that said, please feel free to suggestion any cards you think would help. Im sure there are tons of things I haven't thought of.
