Welcome to Meren's Mortuary

---

This is my Meren of Clan Nel Toth deck! It was originally designed as a Savra, Queen of the Golgari Vorthos deck, but when Meren was spoiled I just had to switch out the commanders and power up the deck. I love both decks and graveyard shenanigans, so it's like all my dreams were coming true when the Meren spoiler came out.

This is a B/G reanimator build, designed to get maximum value out of the graveyard. Meren is the centerpiece of the strategy, but I have plenty of backup ways to pull creatures from the graveyard with cards like Reanimate and Animate Dead. This reanimator theme is supported by an attrition/board control subtheme with cards like Pernicious Deed and Attrition.

I'm always open to suggestions, so let me know what I could be doing better!

Note: Sol Ring has been intentionally excluded from this deck, as my playgroup is trying out a house rule ban on it. Please don't suggest it.

Note: I've retired this deck as of January 2017. I'm no longer working on it, but I'm leaving it here as a reference for other players and in case I ever bring it back.
