I like your list im actually building a meren deck as well with some similarities [merens-risen] ive been enjoying the card advantage of Necropotence + Venser's Journal it can get out of hand if its not responded to

@Fallentesla I used to have Temple Bell, Howling Mine, and Chandra Ablaze in the deck, but I found out I needed a) more protection (counterspells) to protect Nekusar when it's out, and b) I'd rather just wheel the hand than one card each turn (I feel like it's too slow). Whip of Erebos feels more like a win more card. I would put it in but in edh, commander damage and Sorin Markov just makes life a little bit more...useless. If you like it and are planning on making a similar deck, I would recommend Necropotence + Venser's Journal for free draws each turn.

MrHighscore, thanks for the feedback, you make some great points that I will consider.

Regarding a few of your questions:

• I made a choice long ago not to run the usual Oloro instant win combos. Because of that, there is no Exquisite Blood + Sanguine Bond , Test of Endurance, or Felidar Sovereign
• The reason for adding Sickening Dreams is to either combo with Ad Nauseam + Angel's Grace , or to utilize a grip full of cards along with Necropotence + Venser's Journal (Journal not necessary), which is a board state I actively seek and often have
• Children of Korlis + Vizkopa Guildmage + Ad Nauseam or Necropotence can win games

Please continue to comment if you have other thoughts
