This commander deck consist of spirit cards (mainly from the Kamigawa sets) and minor various creatures with Meren of Clan Nel Toth to bring creatures back to the battlefield without the use of soulshifting (with the exception of Harbinger of Spring and Elder Pine of Jukai ) with the abilities of sacrificing creatures instead. It's one of my best decks I've constructed.

With useful cards with combos like Kokusho, the Evening Star + Miren, the Moaning Well , Asceticism + Horobi, Death's Wail and Aid from the Cowl + Meren of Clan Nel Toth synergize very well. Common cards like Dictate of Erebos + Grave Pact can help turn the tide of board, Spore Frog to prevent all combat damage, and Riftsweeper to bring back exiled creatures when Asceticism and/or Witchbane Orb is not in play. Several abilities to help keep your creatures, and as well your graveyard, to be kept on the battlefield.

Thanks for reading!
