Deck overview

This deck is a classic Golgari Aristocrats and Reanimator strategy piloted by Meren of Clan Nel Toth. The game plan focuses on establishing early mana acceleration through low-cost creatures and artifacts, deploying Meren on Turn 3 or 4, and accumulating experience counters by sacrificing reusable creatures like Sakura-Tribe Elder and Accursed Marauder. In the mid-game, Meren establishes heavy board control by repeatedly looping edict effects alongside Grave Pact, Braids, Cabal Minion, and Tergrid, God of Fright // Tergrid's Lantern, completely denying opposing creature strategies. The deck converts this resource advantage into a decisive win on Turn 6 by finding and sacrificing Protean Hulk, which fetches Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista to loop infinite damage through a sacrifice outlet.
