I need Gilded Lotus for sure. not only for mana accel but also + Freed from the Real/Pemmin's Aura + Fatestitcher/Tidewater Minion = Infinite blue to feed Memnarch.

The other insta-win is Enchanted Evening + Aura Thief + sac engine = mine.

Other than that I own all cards in my list except Venser because there's no way I'm running this deck without him.

The maybe cards I may or may not own but generally do not.

I know I need cuts but wondering what peeps think.

Derp Changes but Ownership Issues

erm

Blue Sun > Riddles. Signets > Borderposts. Elixir of Immortality > Feldon's Cane. Gilded Lotus > Obelisk.

list creation fail forum

So...needs a massive amount of cuts and a land base? If you get on Facebook chat or give me a call before 4 tomorrow we can talk about it. Some of these cards don't even work the way you think they do...

Ok down to 77 against target goal of 66 cards.

11 more cuts to go!

gogogogogo

I feel like we already covered a ton of "maybe" cards. Just cut them already. :p

lol true...

but im more intersted in main deck cuts atm. those are there as just in case? you leave my OCD alone.

i cut whisper silk. don't worry i left greaves but pure shroud actually works against my deck. i need to be able to target merieke and my tappers.

Pretty much done. Maybe board is acquire board. hunting for a couple more cuts for lands.

You need Neurok Stealthsuit . It's a godsend in a Merieke deck because it can be equipped at instant speed. This helps when I play my deck because she instantly gets targeted when I cast her due to her vast board control.

Also, you need a whole lot more "untap target permanent" cards in here, because there's no reason you shouldn't have one out at all times. Did you know she can take more than one creature at a time?

All in all, you have a solid base here. Take a look at my Merieke Commander deck "The Siren's Army" if you want some more ideas (also comment? :P).

Define "a whole lot more" I have 8 slots for untapping her already (including Venser).

I agree about the stealthsuit for the initial play. Might try to find room for it for sure.

Err I seem to have misplaced my ethersworn. so i'm temporarily cutting it for now.

Nice deck! I'm in the process of revamping mine, so I appreciate having yours to look over. How has it been playing?

Oh geez this one needs way way updated. But as for how she plays. In over 30 plays I have never lost a 1 on 1. This is a great dueling commander deck.

I love it! Its alot like my deck:sharuum-the-hegemon-edh-11-12-12-2

Freed from the Real is great for Merieke too.

Both card:Pemmin's Aura and Freed from the Real were in early versions of the deck, but I found with merieke being only a 1/1, that enchantments definitely didn't have staying power with her, as she dies often. And i didn't want to waste space worrying about enchantment recursion.

Love it. Never heard of this card, inspiring me to design my own EDH deck! +1

What about Unbender Tine?

The thing about Unbender Tine is that unlike Puppet Strings, it can only untap permanents. Strings lets me command combat on an emergency basis if I need to. And you don't need tons of untap effects in the deck, 5 is good. 6 would be ok, more than that is a bit much I think.

Thornbite Staff could work well.

Freed from the Real

Crab Umbra , Hindering Light , Treachery , Keiga, the Tide Star , Arcanis the Omnipotent , Deadeye Navigator , Intruder Alarm , Pestermite , Gilded Drake (especially with your venser!!) , and Proteus Staff (steal theirs, tuck it, and get a creature from your deck!!). Hope this helps you demoralize your opponents. Any blink effects are good like Conjurer's Closet , but I use Momentary Blink for my etb effects and to save merieke.

Aphetto Alchemist . Combos off with so many cards, but also is a cheaper version of fatesticher, albeit with less possible targets. With morph, it can be instant speed surprise stealing. Which is of course, always fun.
