Code goes here

Practice your necromancy with Meren and reanimate your best puppets. Keep your graveyard full with cards such as Underrealm Lich , Satyr Wayfinder , and Doom Whisperer . Use your sac outlets like Viscera Seer and Yahenni, Undying Partisan or self sacrificing creatures such as Spore Frog to keep your counters up. Ramp up your resources with cards like Sakura-Tribe Elder and Nature's Lore in order to keep yourself ahead of the enemy. You can attain your combo pieces with cards such as Diabolic Intent and Sidisi, Undead Visier, adding them to your hand, or you can use a card like Entomb to send the minion you need straight to the grave. Aside from Meren's ability to raise the dead, reanimate your dead creatures with cards like Reanimate , Animate Dead , and Journey to Eternity  . If you want to end the game by going infinite use Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Puppeteer Clique and any sac outlet to gain control of all creatures from each opponents grave and swing for a lot of damage. Control creature heavy opponents with Grave Pact , Massacre Wurm , Sheoldred, the Whispering One and other cards that make your opponents sacrifice or lose creatures. Using the power of necromancy makes it easy to control your opponents in other ways by using cards like Reclamation Sage and Assassin's Trophy to control opposing artifacts and enchantments or using Plaguecrafter or Mindslicer to deminish your opponents hands. Follow the path of necromancy and you will be dominating your enemies with the powers of death magic.
