I use this site to track my own deck. I believe this is the strongest way to build Meren :)

Sideboard : Cards like Living Wish would replace Cruel Tutor if the group would allow it ;)

Main talent is your typical Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion action. The ways of using Tooth and Nail to get these both on the field and win the game has been a way for G/B to win commander games for a very long time.

New talent is new... With the unbanning of Protean Hulk comes an entirely new slew of combos. The primary one to focus on is simple. Protean Hulk goes into the graveyard/ you win the game. Now if you have a Ashnod's Altar or Phyrexian Altar then the game is easy. Drop Protean Hulk sac him... then the new combo is Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for 6 converted mana cost, and Walking Ballista for 0. Once these are on the field you can deal all the damage you like. If you do not have a sac outlet already on the field fear not! Just fetch your good ol' Body Snatcher and Viscera Seer to reset this power and go for another dive. Not saying Protean Hulk is broken but seriously...... it's broken.

Last but not least, if you are going for a point based system at your LGS. Most of these infinite combos are bad and will do you no good at scoring that free pack of cards! Fear not young one as with Meren of Clan Nel Toth and some other shenanigans you can score yourself as many points as you need! Your primary 2 cards will be Coretapper and Magistrate's Scepter Once these 2 are on the field you can abuse Meren's respawn trigger to earn yourself an infinite amount of turns. Plenty of time to go over your point sheet and earn as many of them as possible.

Anyway, thanks for looking at my Meren. It would mean a lot to me if you could leave a {G}+1{B} if you found this interesting and leave a comment if you have any thoughts on how to improve the deck!
