Deck overview

This deck is a classic Golgari Aristocrats and Reanimator strategy commanded by Meren of Clan Nel Toth. It focuses on sacrificing utility creatures to accumulate experience counters and generate recurring value each end step. Early turns establish mana and fill the graveyard using cards like Sakura-Tribe Elder, Satyr Wayfinder, and Grisly Salvage. Once Meren resolves, she creates powerful attrition loops with creatures such as Plaguecrafter, Haywire Mite, and Spore Frog. The deck controls opposing creature boards with Dictate of Erebos and Butcher of Malakir while building toward lethal life drain through Gray Merchant of Asphodel, Syr Konrad, the Grim, and Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord. While vulnerable to instant-speed graveyard hate and lacking dedicated tutor density, its redundant reanimation engines provide strong mid-game resilience.
