Scavenging Ooze? helps you get rid of the fatties from your opponents graveyard

if they go for a board wipe to get rid of your board presence

Sol Ring is a staple of EDH, due to it giving two mana for one.

How many games has this deck won?(I ask because I love B/G and want to make a viable deck) And why not Jarad as Commander and leave Savra as support?

@Cicjose That's a good suggestion, I'll put it in the maybeboard for now and I may add it into the deck later on.

@nayrash5 I'm aware that Sol Ring is great, and it is in all of my other commander decks, but my playgroup is testing out a Sol Ring ban just to see how it goes so I've opted not to include it here. Besides, it doesn't fit the deck's ideology of not being optimal in order to be as fun as possible. In fact, it is explicitly listed in this deck's description as a card that is too powerful for what I'm going for here.

@XDS I just created this list 5 days ago and haven't even finished building the deck, but I've played a few proxied games and a few games on Cockatrice. It has been very fun and has won maybe half of the 4 or 5 games I've played in it, which is about where I want to be for a "for fun" deck like this.

I'm not running Jarad as my commander for a few reasons.

  • He encourages linear deckbuilding
  • There is another Jarad in my playgroup
  • He is slightly too powerful of a commander for what I want to accomplish with this deck

I notice you run Fleshbag Marauder and have Slum Reaper in your Maybeboard, perhaps Merciless Executioner may help you double up on the Bag's effect without hurting your curve?

Pattern of Rebirth, Black Market and Birthing Pod all seem like they could help. Nice deck though. +1

Fleshbag and no Merciless Executioner?? :)

@Arun.Prem5 Just wait for the other commanders to be added to the site database. Give it a few days.

@BX223Hunter Yeah, I had Merciless Executioner in here but cut it to make room for other things.

Hey,

First off, nice deck, I have just bought the precon, and this is kinda what I had in mind, so if you dont mind I would use this deck a base :p, and go from there.(all my decks are private, so no reposts in decklists, all credit goes to you)

Also would you consider: tooth and nail, altar of dementia(free sac + more targets for Meren), sisters of stone death, abhorrent overlord, awakening zone, mimic vat, doomed necromancer (combo with fauna shaman),grave Pact?

These are ones I am considering at least :p, greetings

I'm about to work on a Meren build and this was very inspiring thank you!

Meren of Clan Nel Toth was my first pick in the new commander series. She looks really fun. Thx for the idea of Ghoulcaller Gisa.

Upvoted, this looks interesting ;)

How about Dual Nature? While it affects opponents too, with all your "When XYZ enters the battlefield" creatures it still might be valuable

Some suggestions I have from my own Meren Edh deck I'm dreaming about. Switch Bloodghast for Gravecrawler, Creakwood Liege for Whisperwood Elemental. I also recommend adding, Caller of the Claw, Massacre Worm (pair it with Blade of Selves and u have etb board wipe and mass life loss), also Ophiomancer is a fun fodder card, Oh and one of my favorite reaction cards, Foster (He'll ensure you always have creatures to use after your stuff dies).

i just built one of these myself. She seems like an awesome commander, and fun to build around. +1!

Grim Feast and the pact effects?
