So Why Meren?

Meren Deck (Plunder the Graves) is a really fun commander. The graveyard acts as an extension of the hand, so non-exile removal is always temporary. My iteration of the deck is designed to be fun and semi-competitive with a lot of combos.

The Breakdown

Every card fits into a specific category. Many cards fall into multiple categories, granting more value per such card. The categories I used to organize the deck are as follows:

• Mana Base: General Land Base

• Ramp: Mana-Curve Cheaters

• Control: Direct and Indirect Removal and Evasion

• Utility: General effects. Life gain, Graveyard hate, Tax; and Combat Tricks

• Necromancy: Effects that either fuel the grave or feed from the grave.

• Triggers: Experience Point triggers.

• Tutor/Draw: Card Advantage and Library filters.

• Win Conditions: Cards that combo extremely well with other cards that should lead to victory.
