This deck is all about abusing Merieke's activated ability while including other creatures who could benefit from the same enablers. This is my most competitive, cutthroat deck, and even then it's not backbreaking. It's a heck of a lot of fun to play, and really throws a wrench in to any creature-based game plans. She can also force a lot of wheeling and dealing in exchange for Mereike not messing with a player's board.

I've optimized it to make it as mean and efficient as I'm comfortable making it. Suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
