Heavy graveyard recursion theme, of course.

Apparently everyone hates Meren, and I don't really blame them.

Wins by:

1. Grinding down opponents' board states and turning creatures sideways, just as Richard Garfield intended.

2. Stalling out the game until you can assemble an infinite damage combo.

Infinite Damage:

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion

How to kill the table, Hulk combo edition:

1. Play Protean Hulk, kill it with Hero's Downfall or Black Sun's Zenith etc, or sacrifice it to Merciless Executioner ETB etc.
2. Grab Viscera Seer and Phyrexian Delver from the Hulk trigger.
3. Delver ETB trigger, bring back Hulk.
4. Sac Hulk to Seer, Grab Mikaeus + Walking Ballista
5. Sac Ballista to Seer, Undying brings back Ballista.
6. Remove +1/+1 counter from Ballista to ping player.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until table is dead.
