So, the moment I saw Meren I fell in love with her; I even got her altered before creating this list cause I was so sure I would build a deck around her. Early game you can constantly trigger cards like Sakura-Tribe Elder, then later make Tokens for days with Avenger of Zendikar or Hornet Queen. I tried to put in as many sacrifice-enablers as possible and from the games I played so far, it always worked out. Especially later in the game this deck just explodes with combos like Ashnod's Altar + Ghoulcaller Gisa + Savra, Queen of the Golgari .

To finish, I play Rise of the Dark Realms to get all creatures I destroyed and sacrificed, resulting in a proper monster mash.

However, since this is still my first self-build commander deck I would be very happy about any feedbacks and card suggestions.

Until then, happy resurrecting.
