I have made it my goal to be the first person to truly break this card.

Ever since the new EDH decks were first announced to be enemy colors, I was extremely excited to see the B/G one and what it brought for new commanders. I was certainly not expecting something I would love as much as Meren. As soon as I saw her revealed for the first time, I knew she would become one of my main decks. I've been working hard to try and figure out how to break her.

I would absolutely love any suggestions, and help with achieving my goal. Thank you for taking the time to at least take a look at the deck, and thank you again if you give a comment and/or +1!

Now let's get into the deck itself.

Commander Choice -

Meren of Clan Nel Toth - As I mentioned before, as soon as Meren was revealed I was just elated. She is almost everything I would ever want in a commander. She's all but one of my favorite colors, she's flavor up the ass, and she reanimates, and on top of it all, she's a good card.

Combos -

The deck has two main infinite combos, both revolving around two cards with the third being the one that can change. The required cards are Nim Deathmantle, Ashnod's Altar, and either Avenger of Zendikar or Grave Titan. These allow for three things, infinite sacrifice, infinite tokens, and infinite colorless mana.

In order to perform the first one you sacrifice Avenger of Zendikar and at least one plant token to Ashnod's Altar, use the four mana to trigger Nim Deathmantle, return Avenger, get more plants, repeat. In order to get infinite mana with this you just sacrifice more than one plant token with you sacrifice Avenger.

With Grave Titan's end of the same combo you need to sacrifice himself, and one zombie, trigger Deathmantle, get him and two more zombies infinitely. For infinite mana you just sacrifice him and both zombies instead of him and just one.

If you also have Blood Artist and/or Zulaport Cutthroat on the board while you do either of these combos you also do infinite life loss/gain.
