Meren in 99 of lathrill

Commander Deck Help forum

Posted on June 1, 2021, 5:03 p.m. by dewrito

I was wandering if it would be worth running Meren of Clan Nel Toth in the 99 of my elf tribal deck with Lathril, Blade of the Elves at the helm. Only running two other non elfs being Craterhoof Behemoth and Seedborn Muse . Any feedback would be appreciated.

My big question is: are you playing her to get creatures back to your hand or back into play?

Follow-up: If you want things into play, are you relying on your opponents killing your creatures to get things back, or if you're able to sacrifice creatures yourself to ramp up her Experience?

Either way she's still solid. But there are more efficient and less fragile ways to get creatures back from the graveyard to your hand. Phyrexian Reclamation is a favorite of mine. If you want them into play, you're going to want to lean into sacrifice outlets a bit, which is something Lathril normally wouldn't care much about, though you can find some she might jive with.

The question has me thinking: Has anyone ever tried Sultai Elves with both Meren and Ezuri, Claw of Progress ? You could even include Momir Vig, Simic Visionary to be able to tutor for the two of them. The most fitting commander I can imagine is either Muldrotha or Brokkos, Apex of Forever . This seems pretty interesting, actually...
