{B}{G} Formerly a Golgari Regeneration-Themed Deck, it now focuses on recurring creatures via Meren of Clan Nel Toth. {G}{B}

Weaknesses: Spell-heavy Decks, frickin' Counterspell :-), early Creature-spam ...

---

Mana-Acceleration:

• {2}{G} Search for Tomorrow (play for Suspend)

• {G} Wild Growth (Basic Mana-Acceleration)

Support:

• {2}{B}{G} Meren of Clan Nel Toth (4 CMC, Recurres Creatures from Graveyard)

• {1}{B}{B} Dimir House Guard (play mostly for Transmute: Key Cards are all 4 CMC, recurring Tutor due to Meren, might help sacrifice creatures -> prevent exile)

• {2}{G}{G} Spike Weaver (4 CMC, Main Combatdamage-Preventer, might boost attacker)

• {G} Spore Frog (Recurres much earlier via Meren, Main Combatdamage-Preventer, sac for Natural Order)

• {1}{G} Dawnstrider (redundancy for combat-damage-prevention, also use to shuffle Progenitus back into Library for Natural Order or to return a creature with Reanimate to play)

• {2} Lightning Greaves (Haste for fast Attackers, Shroud to secure Key Creatures, switch multiple times during Main Phases as needed)

Spell-reportoir:

• {B} Reanimate (Key-Creature-Retreival, use mainly for Meren of Clan Nel Toth, Spike Weaver or Phyrexian Obliterator)

• {B}{G} Assassin's Trophy (universal card-removal)

• {2}{G}{G} Natural Order (4 CMC, mainly used to access Progenitus)

• {3}{G} Bloodscent (4 CMC, use on Phyrexian Obliterator)

• {1}{B} Demonic Tutor (Playing only once for Vintage-Legality)

Attack:

• {B}{B}{B}{B} Phyrexian Obliterator (4-Mana anoyancedrop, also might prevent Opponent from attacking)
