When I first saw Meren I was immediately brought back to my memories of playing my Recurring Nightmare/Survival of the Fittest deck back in 1998. I saw the possibilities of control and locking the game down using recursion and fetching creatures with amazing effects and abilities.

I know that there are a lot of Meren decks out there now. I think we all follow a similar theme. Hopefully mine is unique enough that people enjoy it. I have had a ton of fun playing it and I hope to continue doing so for years to come.
