Meren of Clan Nel Toth

Meren is a grindy recursion engine that turns your creatures dying into a resource. Every death triggers an experience counter, and once you've accumulated enough counters, you can reanimate creatures from your graveyard for free each turn. The deck wants you to sacrifice creatures repeatedly—whether through free sacrifice outlets, block trades, or self-mill—to fuel Meren's counter engine while building up a recursive advantage. You're essentially playing a long game where opponents can't permanently remove your threats because they just come back.

Your win condition is incremental value that eventually locks them out. You'll reanimate big threats, sacrifice them again for value, and generate exponential advantage over time. Cards like Viscera Seer, Ashnod's Altar, and Saddle the Stampede enable free sacrifice loops that speed up experience accumulation. By mid-to-late game, Meren is tutoring back creatures every turn, and you're either attacking through a growing board of recursed creatures or assembling a combo kill with creatures like Hulk or Mikaeus the Unholy.
