Hi Guys,

I've tried to create a somewhat balanced Meren commander deck. My meta is non-competitive, however still trying to build a winning deck here.

Some characteristics: - I don't like working with combo's (even though there is one in there) - I like stax, but rather 'soft' style (def. not hard core) - Winning: * Board control by sac effects and good ol' pound with some larger creatures * Each player loses x life (Kokusho, Jarad, Mr. Gray, Lord of extinction) * Milling with altar of dementia, Lord of extinction

Looking for a deck that is quite controlling, can handle many situations and still has a high chance of winning through various strategies. Open to feedback!
