Introduction

Hello guys, many of you know me as FlashAndretti (Flash for short), on discord across multiple servers. I first got interested in playing Meren after my fiance picked her up and we played this deck ever since. I hope you all enjoy this primer as I break down many things for you all.

Strengths

-Fast, often threatening wins on turn 3

-Backbreaking stax that makes people quit

-No baby stax diluting your draws

-Extreme resilience to opposing stax

-Meren is a dark horse in the competitive community, expect to be ignored

Weakness

-Short on interaction, cannot reliably stop early win attempts

-Short on combo protection, must rely on repeated win attempts

-Even other stax decks will spend removal on your stax pieces

-Crumples under Rest in Peace, Cursed Totem, and Mindcensor effects

-Meren is notorious in the casual community, expect to be focus fired
