This deck is base on a strategie of sacrificing and recurring creatures with sacrificing abilities or enter/leave the battlefield triggers to control your opponents board or to give you plus values. Once you have that plus value and that Meren engine is going, destroy your opponents with any one of the +1/+1 counters synergies creating enormous creatures, attack and sacrifice them to move those counter with Reyhan, Last of the Abzan on Triskelion to give them a lot of direct damage. You can also make your creatures unblockable with Champion of Lambholt or Dauthi Embrace . In those winning conditions, Pathbreaker Ibex , Kalonian Hydra , Corpsejack Menace and Heroes' Bane are insane good together. You will joyfully play Overwhelming stanpede before attacking with those creatures, doing the math and realising that all of them have 250 power.

There are some cards I question in my selection like Mimic Vat . It seems really powerfull (I wish I could imprint Protean Hulk and sacrifice it or Avenger of Zendikar !), but I never had the opportunitie to see big value with Mimic Vat when I play it. It also get targetted by opponents very fast.

I also have Panharmonicon that can have a good synergie with most of the creature I play, I wonder if I should put it in the deck. Even though I know it will be targeted very fast.
