Wheel of Sun and Moon I'm a nice guy. you can have it

markbeloit, Juppe, and formulakid2112 Thank you for your feedback and conversation. I apologize for my delay in responding, I was away from the weekend and didn't have much time to follow up.

markbeloit Regarding your first point, you hit the nail on the head. If money was not an issue for me, I would have included every card you mentioned. I am however saving up slowly but surely for some of those cards, including saving for a box of Eternal Masters for some commander staples.

Regarding your second post, I do have many of those cards you mentioned. For the targeted removal, I do have each of those cards but I have not put them in quite yet. I will put at least one of those in place of Pernicious Deed since it generates too much hate as soon as it lands. I will be tweaking the deck to include each of the mana dorks. I'm going to try and run 3-4 dorks in addition to the 3-4 ramp I have already present. I welcome any additions/removals recommendations. I will also be adding in Fleshbag Marauder, Merciless Executioner, and Butcher of Malakir. Once I build out the deck with cash, I will definitely exploit the Phyrexian Altar combo.

Juppe I like those cards you recommended as I was thinking of adding some width for additional sacrifice triggers. I did get a copy of Life from the Loam over the weekend, so I will be adding it into the deck somehow.

formulakid2112 Great suggestions! I was originally going to run Contamination and Smokestack but the costs were a bit high to include in the first iteration of the deck. The big budget items I decided to add in this round of the deck were Mikeaous, Entomb, Reanimate, and Worldly Tutor. I'll add more as I continue forward. Also, I will be adding in more mana dorks and Protean Hulk this coming weekend.

bushido_man96 Yes, I originally did have Shriekmaw in the initial build, but I removed it because it's evoke cost was only available while in hand. However, going forward, I am leaning toward Fleshbag Marauder since I can sacrifice to itself upon entry.

@Bobby654, Wheel of Sun and Moon can't go in Meren, because she's Golgari .

@Thousandoaks, yes, the evoke cost only counts while in hand. But, you can get it back to your hand with Meren before she hits 5 counters, and each time you evoke it with Meren on the battlefield equals a counter. Seems like good value all around. I'm looking at adding one to my build, and seeing how it well it runs.

@bushido_man96 Yes, you are absolutely correct! I always forget about the ability to return cards to hand. Gives me quite a bit to think about now. Thank you!

I'm just saying I cast it and give it to you. It is enchant player. I'm just trying to have some fun

Ah, I gotcha. Sorry about that.

I would suggest adding Triskellion to the wincon category cause of the Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskellion combo

No Meren deck is complete without Phyrexian Devourer + Necrotic Ooze + TriskelionPhyrexian Devourer and Triskelion in Graveyard, use Necrotic Ooze. Get counters on it via Phyrexian Devourer and do damage by removing counters by using Triskelion. Or just add counters to Necrotic Ooze and use Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord to instagib everyone.

It's alright

So, I like some of the changes you made, but there are some MAJOR things that you have taken out that need to be in your deck

1.Sol Ring. Uh... why is one of the most busted cards in Magic being TAKEN OUT of your deck??? The acceleration is absolutely incredible. It's a better mana dork!

2.Pernicious Deed. This is awesome. This hoses token decks and a lot of Breya, Etherium Shaper lists. Keep it in.

3.Grim Haruspex. Now, THIS is busted in a Meren deck. When your junk dies, card draw REALLY helps. In the later stages of the game, when you have 15 million mana, you need stuff that you can play from your hand. Grim Haruspex helps with this enourmously. If your decks turn into a competitive staxy build, it breaks parity with your stax pieces.

Your includes are pretty good, but I have some issues with certain cards.

1.Harvester of Souls. This is SO much worse than Grim Haruspex. Now, I know it triggers off of everybody's stuff dying, but costing TWICE AS MUCH as Grim Haruspex makes it useless for generating card advantage.

2.Disciple of Bolas. This card is underwhelming and just doesn't work.

3.Panharmonicon. This is just a bad win more card.

il-JumperMT I did originally include that combo in the initial build of my deck. However, Phyrexian Devourer has almost zero value outside the combo; whereas Necrotic Ooze and Triskelion have value on their own or with other cards.

formulakid2112 I agree with your feedback, and actually added those three cards back in shortly after my last post right before my pod fired at Commander night.

i saw it suggested once but it needs to be done again since you already have grave titan and ashnods altar. Nim Deathmantle
