Overview:
A powerful Meren of Clan Nel Toth reanimator deck that leverages sacrifice synergies and experience counters to generate overwhelming value through recursive creature strategies and aristocrat-style effects.
Primer:
This deck operates as a value-oriented reanimator strategy that uses Meren of Clan Nel Toth's ability to repeatedly recur creatures from the graveyard. The deck employs multiple sacrifice outlets like Viscera Seer, Phyrexian Altar, and Ashnod's Altar to fuel its engine, while cards like Blood Artist and Syr Konrad, the Grim capitalize on creatures dying.
The deck can win through multiple paths: draining opponents with aristocrat effects, assembling powerful creature-based combos with cards like Mikaeus, the Unhallowed, or generating overwhelming value through repeated reanimation of utility creatures. The inclusion of multiple tutors and card advantage engines helps ensure consistency, while a robust interaction suite helps protect the strategy.
Weaknesses:
The deck is somewhat reliant on having its commander in play to execute its primary gameplan, making it vulnerable to repeated removal. Graveyard hate can significantly disrupt the deck's strategy, and the mana base could be improved with additional fetch lands and utility lands. The deck can sometimes struggle against faster combo decks if it can't establish its engine quickly enough.

Attribute Ratings:
- Speed: 7/10
- Resilience: 8/10
- Consistency: 7/10
- Interaction: 7/10
Rating Justification:
This deck sits firmly in the focused competitive range due to its ability to establish strong board control and value engines by turns 5-6, while having the potential for earlier wins through specific combinations. It's more powerful than typical optimized decks (6.5) due to its robust tutor package and high-impact cards, but doesn't quite reach the consistency and speed of true high-power decks (8.0). The inclusion of multiple tutors, efficient interaction, and strong value engines places it solidly in the 7.0-7.5 range.
Final power level rating: 7.0 - 7.5
