Overview:
A graveyard-focused value deck led by Meren of Clan Nel Toth, utilizing sacrifice synergies and recursion to generate incremental advantage through experience counters and reanimation effects.
Primer:
The deck aims to establish a sacrifice engine early with cards like Skullclamp and Blood Bairn, while using value creatures like Eternal Witness and Sakura-Tribe Elder to generate resources. Once Meren is online, the strategy shifts to repeatedly sacrificing and recurring creatures for value, building experience counters to reanimate progressively larger threats. The deck can win through combat damage with large creatures like Terastodon or Butcher of Malakir, or by grinding out advantage through repeated sacrifice effects and reanimation.
Weaknesses:
The deck is vulnerable to graveyard hate like Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void, which can shut down its primary strategy. The deck can be slow to establish its engine and relies heavily on Meren staying in play, making it susceptible to targeted removal. The mana base could be more refined to support the deck's color-intensive spells.

- Consistency: 5/10
- Interaction: 5/10
Rating Justification:
This deck represents a focused casual strategy that aims to generate value through sacrifice and reanimation effects. While it includes some powerful cards and synergies, it lacks the fast mana and tutors needed to compete at higher power levels. The deck's reliance on its commander and somewhat slow setup time places it firmly in the casual category, though it can create powerful board states once established. It would struggle against more optimized decks but could overwhelm purely casual builds.
Final power level rating: 4.5 - 5.0
