Commander: Meren of Clan Nel Toth

Bracket: 3

Deck overview

This is a midrange Golgari sacrifice/reanimator deck. Meren of Clan Nel Toth turns every creature death into an experience counter and a repeatable end-step reanimation. The primary plan is to fill the graveyard with creatures, use sacrifice outlets to trigger death payoffs and card advantage, then bury opponents under incremental drain before finishing with a large Izoni token flood or Jarad throwing an oversized Old Stickfingers. Secondary lines use Gray Merchant and Massacre Wurm as reanimate-and-drain threats. There is no infinite mana outlet; winning is an incremental engine victory. The deck is built around Meren's recursion, but one-shot reanimation spells and draw-from-dying effects let it continue without her.
