Meren of Clan Nel Toth (Sac Outlet) (EDH / Commander) [Révision 92]

-----------------------------------------------------------‐------------------------------------
MEREN OF CLAN NEL TOTH

One nasty sac deck, works perfectly. Power Level 8.

Try to get a token engine and a sacrifice outlet going as early as possible. As soon as Meren enters the battlefield, you'll want to be able to sacrifice something.

Here are some answers Meren's ability offers combined
with a sac outlet (in CMC-order):

• Caustic Caterpillar (1 CMC) - Allows for destruction of
  artifacts and enchantments when being forced to.
• Spore Frog (1 CMC) - Grants protection.
• Bloodghast (2 CMC) - Excellent sacrifice victim in
  general.
• Eternal Witness (3 CMC) - Cheap card that lets you
  fetch anything important back from your graveyard.
• Plaguecrafter (3 CMC) - A better alternative to
  Fleshbag Marauder & Merciless Executioner.
  Makes your opponents sacrifice creatures/discard
  cards again and again.
• Shriekmaw (5 CMC) - First cast it for its evoke cost to
  destroy a creature, then have it ready in your graveyard
  to be returned when in need to.
• Kokusho, the Evening Star (5 CMC) - Return &
  sacrifice, rinse & repeat for pure damage.
• Sidisi, Undead Vizier (5 CMC) - Lets you tutor a card
  over and over again.
• Mikaeus, the Unhallowed (6 CMC) - Allows to double-
  sacrifice nontoken creatures. Especially useful on
  creatures with ETB- or death-triggers. He combos with
  Triskelion for infinite damage.
• Avenger of Zendikar (7 CMC) - Creates tokens over
  and over again.
• It That Betrays (12 CMC) - Usually a game ender and
  the mightiest Synergy-Creature that doesn't have to be
  shuffled into the library from your graveyard (like
  Ulamog, the Infinite Gyre and his buddies). Everytime
  you force someone to sacrifice a permanent,
  it's yours, very potent with Grave Pact, Dictate of Erebos
  and Butcher of Malakir.

If a spell lets you fetch creatures and put them in your graveyard directly, make sure to pick Bloodghast early for its graveyard-return ability. This way you'll have a sacrifice victim ready on every land drop.

Grave Pact/Dictate of Erebos keep the battlefield clean. If possible, try to sneak in It That Betrays at some point (with Sheoldred, Whispering One for example) to easily turn any game around. Meren will grant you a lot of experience counters fast and after the first boardwipe you'll eventually have more than twelve counters to return it from the graveyard "normally".

Once this deck gets going it's hard to stop it, I love playing it.
