Meren of Clan Nel Toth (Sac Outlet) (EDH / Commander)

-----------------------------------------------------------‐------------------------------------
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):

• Dryad Arbor (0 CMC)
• 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 or with walking ballista for infinite death triggers/experience counters.
• 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 Victimize 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.
