Meren is probably my favorite from the 2015 set, so I decided to mod the deck and see what further pain I could inflict. Meren is great because it's hard to have any bad cards in, but it can also make focusing on other mechanics difficult - it's easy to spread too thin. In playtesting, the deck has seemed pretty balanced, but it does rely a bit too much on having Meren out, more than I'd like. Suggestions on other nice, repeatable recursion would be appreciated!
I did try to keep the updates made to this deck with budget in mind. If you think there are things with literally more bang for the buck, please let me know! The maybeboard has cards that I cut from the original or from further edits, just so they could easily be tracked. Happy to go over anything in there again.
Suggestions and objections welcome!
