This is my take on Meren.

PS: Its for multiplayer (4-man pods)

So I've changed her from a reanimator since she was too slow to finish games before my opponents combo'ed off. So now she is more a grindy stax/pox/orb deck which utilises her constant value by reanimating utility creatures.

Dot not be afraid to tutor for Spore Frog to negate attacks and sacrifice for free counters for Meren. Also tutor for some of the better stax cards Smokestack, Desolation or Winter Orb to shut down the board early while you have manadorks out.

Win conditions are these:

1. Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion

2. Chain reanimate Gray Merchant of Asphodel and Kokusho, the Evening Star too drain each opponent.

3. Create a lot of mana with Crypt Ghast, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and/or Cabal Coffers and finish everyone of with a big Exsanguinate. If you dont kill everyone on the first try, get back the card with Eternal Witness and repeat the process :)
