I like this card a lot. Im a huge fan of spending life for resources, hello Necropotence! but I'm not sure about this card in a tuned meren deck. In a casual build it seems just fine, actually its fantastic in a casual meta. My concern is that the 5cmc spot should be doing something extremely powerful in a tuned deck. Is filling the GY that powerful? The answer is 'it depends.' If you have a lot of life to dump into this card, if you get a good reanimation target plus a reliable way to reanimate it (meren on board with a healthy amount of exp. Counters Would work).
I might be undervaluing this but I feel like it's great for casual and not quite good enough for 75%/competitive meta (but I think it's close so I might be wrong). I just don't know what I'd take out at that spot.
Appreciate the advice!I also edited my list since posting here so I'm not sure if you saw the most updated version.
My plan is actually focused on reanimating and not aristocrats. The main reason I added all those token generators was to feed experience counters to Meren so that I could have enough to reanimate something big quickly; the blood artist creatures I only included for lifegain to stabilize; you will draw a lot of hate once others see that you're looking to reanimate something big.
I also added the Mikaeus + Triskelion combo upon realizing how many tutor effects can be supported in this deck.
This set seems to be the best boon to meren in a while. We get a great removal, upgraded fleshbag and lots of fun cards for casual meren like underrealm lich and doom whisperer!
Overall a great golgari set! What is everyone's favorite new card for meren?
Davester000123,
Many moons ago you asked about Mirage Mirror, I run this in nearly all of my decks. It is my favorite card and so fun!
I am always evaluating the board to see see how I can use this card and I find it is more useful than it would seem. There are so many good cards that hit the table to take advantage of. It is also great when someone tries to destroy it and fails.
I play at a casual level but if you want to get more competitive then I am doubt it would value it's spot.
