This is my interpretation of the original Plunder the Graves deck. My objective is to make a deck that is good, fun to play and doesn't focus on combos (as it used to).

You already know what you mainly need to do, so I'll focus on other mechanics other than Fleshbag Marauder cards like.

It has some of interesting interactions: Cards that helps you to sacrifice/kill your creatures

• Carrion Feeder
• Sadistic Hypnotist
• Viscera Seer
• Woe Strider
• Yahenni, Undying Partisan
• Yawgmoth, Thran Physician
• High Market
• Attrition
• Pox
• Altar of Dementia
• Ashnod's Altar
• Skullclamp

Interaction with lands

• Azusa, Lost but Seeking + Oracle of Mul Daya + Ramunap Excavator or Crucible of Worlds can interact with some cards to get great advantage:
• Dryad Arbor - a free sac for other cards.You can play it three times in a turn with these combination.
• Strip Mine - destroy 3+ other lands in a turn can simply destroy someone else's plan. I still don't have the budget to put Wasteland on it.
• Gives more value to fetches like Evolving Wilds, Fabled Passage, Myriad Landscape, Terramorphic Expanse, Tranquil Thicket (after cycling).

Many other cards will get benefit by ETB or dies.

Key Interactions

• Meren of Clan Nel Toth + Strionic Resonator You can reanimate two creatures with Strionic Resonator, and it doesn't need to be two different creatures. E.g.: you can sacrifice Gray Merchant of Asphodel, then reanimate it with Meren with the first trigger, then kill it again and reanimate it again with Meren second trigger. Also works great with Kokusho, the Evening Star, Protean Hulk, Ravenous Chupacabra and other good ETB creatures.

• Pattern of Rebirth You'll mainly use it to find your key creatures. Ngl, I almost always find Protean Hulk because... It's Protean Hulk!

• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion Modern problems requires old modern solutions! Two card combo ftw if you're in some very long or difficult match.

• Crypt Ghast Can help you to achieve that GREAT X with Exsanguinate, Torment of Hailfire or Genesis Wave.

• Dead of Winter This deck used to run Toxic Deluge, but it's hard to have enough life to used it, so I replace the basic lands with Snow-basics and added this one. It works better than I think it would.

This is what I try to make different with my version of the classic Meren of Clan Nel Toth deck. I hope you enjoy it and be welcome to suggest new cards to the list.
