Deck Reviews / [EDH / Commander] Meren Infect/Wither deck
« on: February 13, 2018, 04:20:25 am »
Hey, folks.
I'm looking to put together a deck with Meren of Clan Nel Toth as the commander, and Infect/Wither as the primary mechanic. The idea went something like this: Meren gets XP counters; proliferate increases any type of counters; Isn't most infect in black/green?
To that end, the primary creatures of this deck are going to be things with infect, and its bastard cousin, wither. Creatures with either of these keywords are easy to look up, but I know there are older creatures with similar horrible mechanics to inflict on my enemies... I mean fellow EDH players. What are some awesome hidden gems in this category?
Once I stick people with -1/-1 counters and poison counters, I want to give them more! Thus, proliferate! Besides that wonderful, horrible mechanic, what other hidden gems allow me to either stick people with -1/-1 counters or add additional counters? Think artifacts, enchantments, soreries, and instants here. (I already know about the delicious Serrated Arrows.)
Of course, all that spreading counters across the board is going to get me massive hate, and thus board wipes (note the plural form; wipes), so I'm going to need some way to come back from that. This is why Meren is my commander, and not Hapatra, Vizier of Poisons; I want to inflict all those wonderful, horrible things on my fellow players all over again. To that end, besides Meren, what are some other good ways to get things out of the graveyard? Bonus item: good ways to stop graveyard hate?
Since I'm in green, might as well get some of that awesome "creatures as mana" action going on. Obviously, Cryptolith Rite is a must, but what are the other awesome green mana dorks I shouldn't be without in green/black?
Lastly, anything else in green/black that's just too good to pass up?
Thank you all for your time!
