What started as Meren's precon has gone far beyond that and is now a very grindy value/stax deck.

I've tried to keep most abilities on creatures wherever possible to allow recursion, but some enchantments like Grave Pact are too good to leave out - plus some instant-speed removal for defense.

There are several routes to victory - drain with Gary/Kokusho, steal everything with It That Betrays and Grave Pact, or make all my tokens and sac fodder huge with Mazirek to swing for the fences. Plus my opponents scooping in frustration, of course...

Going to remove Viridian emissary, deathreap ritual, putrefy and grim backwoods for Solemn simulacrum, Krosan grip, Gitrog and Westvale Abbey. Also need to add Ashnod's altar and terastodon
