Meren of Clan Nel Toth EDH deck. I previously owned this one IRL. The deck has been sold to a close friend.

Endearingly named Big Meren due to the high cmc ceiling in the deck. It curves out at 12 for It That Betrays

Deck is based around recursion and repeatable effects as well as attrition.

The deck is built to be able to play the long game, be controlling, or be able to combo off if it is needed.

Some combos:

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Woodfall Primus + Sac outlet = blow a lot of things up

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Puppeteer Clique + Sac outlet = Get all creatures from not your graveyard

Mikaeus, the Unhallowed + Triskelion = Machine gun everyone and win

Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord + Lord of Extinction = Win

Triskelion + Phyrexian Devourer in grave + Necrotic Ooze on board = machine gun for cmc of deck

Also there are a lot of smaller repeatable combos such as:

Zulaport Cutthroat + sac outlet + recurrable token maker such as Avenger of Zendikar or Abhorrent Overlord for drain

Ashnod's Altar + Kokusho, the Evening Star + Nim Deathmantle + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed for inifnite life drain and this combo also works with Wurmcoil Engine instead of Kokusho and without Mikaeus for infinite Wurms.

Victimize + Eternal Witness + Skullwinder allows you to loop Victimize as long as you have the mana to cast it

Or generally any recurrable effect on a creature + sac outlet + recursion

Meren of Clan Nel Toth is definitely a really fun commander choice, especially if you like value, attrition, or having a commander that is literally a reanimate spell.
