This deck replaces the old primer I had on Merieke. Things to do: add budget considerations. Feel free to ask any questions!

A couple times throughout the primer you mention that if someone forces you to draw a card at the wrong time you could lose the game. How many times has this happened?

Never. I just want to be prepared. It's the second biggest weakness (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Weakness) of the deck. Or the weak point, whatever you want to call it.
Biggest is dying to (combat) damage before I can pull off my combos.

Major change: the deck no longer needs X-spells to draw the library. It relies on Sensei's Divining Top (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sensei%27s+Divining+Top) and loops the library with Codex Shredder (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Codex+Shredder) / Timetwister (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Timetwister). We loop Praetor's Grasp (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Praetor%27s+Grasp) to exile (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Exile) our opponents' libraries and then force them to draw from an empty library with Cephalid Coliseum (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Cephalid+Coliseum).

Another major change: added a new combo line.
Aphetto Alchemist (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Aphetto+Alchemist), Tidewater Minion (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Tidewater+Minion) and Basalt Monolith (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Basalt+Monolith) can all repeatedly tap and untap themselves for free. This goes well with Mesmeric Orb (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Mesmeric+Orb) which lets us mill ourselves. From there we can Unearth (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Unearth) Fatestitcher (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Fatestitcher), Flashback Sevinne's Reclamation (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Sevinne%27s+Reclamation) for Lotus Field (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lotus+Field) and Pemmin's Aura (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Pemmin%27s+Aura) or Freed from the Real (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Freed+from+the+Real) for infinite mana and untaps. Then we Escape From the Catacombs (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=From+the+Catacombs) two times to bring out Grand Abolisher (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Grand+Abolisher) and Lier, Disciple of the Drowned (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Lier%2C+Disciple+of+the+Drowned) after which we can Dance of the Manse (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Dance+of+the+Manse) for Thousand-Year Elixir (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Thousand-Year+Elixir). Fatestitcher (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Fatestitcher) can tap and untap permanents from our opponents which means we're able to mill them completely, too. Thousand-Year Elixir (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Thousand-Year+Elixir) will enable Cephalid Looter (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Cephalid+Looter) which can force the last draw for our opponents for the complete kill. Escape From the Catacombs (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=From+the+Catacombs) once more to bring out the aforementioned Cephalid Looter (https://cards.deckstats.net/magiccard.php?utf8=1&lng=en&card=Cephalid+Looter).
