Deck overview

This Golgari deck uses Meren of Clan Nel Toth to pilot a classic aristocrats and graveyard reanimation strategy. The deck focuses on developing mana through creatures like Sakura-Tribe Elder, filling the graveyard with self-mill tools like Stitcher's Supplier and Satyr Wayfinder, and using free sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer and Woe Strider to accrue experience counters. Meren of Clan Nel Toth then reanimates high-impact creatures directly to the battlefield each end step without paying mana costs. The win condition centers on draining the table with Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Syr Konrad, the Grim, Zulaport Cutthroat, and Bastion of Remembrance, supported by board control from Butcher of Malakir and token swarms from Hornet Queen and Izoni, Thousand-Eyed. The deck trades fast combo speed and stack interaction for steady value, board resilience, and inevitable late-game attrition.
