The Circle of Life is Over

This deck can easily swap between using Meren of Clan Nel Toth and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord as its commander. Meren utilizes her own reanimation as well as powerful spells such as Reanimate and Animate Dead to bring back powerful creatures. Jarad focuses on sacrificing such monstrosities as Lord of Extinction and Sewer Nemesis to devastate opponents.

The deck can combo by bringing both Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Triskelion to life together. Or with a Necrotic Ooze on the field and Phyrexian Devourer along with either Triskelion or Walking Ballista in the graveyard.
