Deck Summary

This Meren of Clan Nel Toth deck is built as a grindy, value-oriented graveyard strategy. The goal is to generate steady advantage by sacrificing creatures for value, recurring them with Meren, and draining opponents over time. This deck is resilient, interactive, and scales well into long games.

How to Play

Early Game

• Play cheap ramp and creatures to set up your mana.
• Prioritize sacrifice outlets so you can control when creatures die.
• Fill your graveyard using self-mill and value creatures.

Mid Game

• Cast Meren and begin recurring creatures each turn.
• Reuse removal creatures and card draw engines to out-value opponents.
• Board wipes favor you — you rebuild faster than most decks.

Late Game

• Drain the table with aristocrat effects.
• Loop creatures repeatedly to overwhelm opponents.
• Win without needing to attack.
