Snap157 on Budget Meren

6 days ago

Meren as a commander really pushes you to build with a high density of creatures-which are currently only a third of your deck. In this case I would cut most of your non-creature ramp for cheap mana dorks (Somberwald Sage, Arbor Elf, Fyndhorn Elves, maybe even Viridian Emissary, Solemn Simulacrum or Springbloom Druid).

I would also do the same with your other critical deck areas such as removal, draw, boardwipes, sac outlets. I would cut Alesha's Legacy, Overwhelming Remorse, and Putrefy in favor of Merciless Executioner, Insidious Fungus, Grist, the Hunger Tide, Foundation Breaker, and Acidic Slime. Also with more creatures gives us better tutor options: Fauna Shaman is worth the money here, and Jarad's Orders is super efficient. Mausoleum Secrets is kinda cool but it only grabs black creatures which I don't like- up to you if you want to keep it.

Drawing cards is overrated in this deck- your hand IS your graveyard. I would lose the Village Rites, Read the Bones, Sign in Blood, Bastion of Remembrance and Disciple of Bolas to bring in cards like Golgari Thug, Stitcher's Supplier, Skull Prophet, or Satyr Wayfinder. Nyx Weaver and Golgari Grave-Troll are an absolute must.

Not sure terastadon belongs here, as much as I love it. It's nice as a reanimation target but meren will have trouble bringing it back and the deck isn't ramp heavy enough to reliably have the mana to cast it. Instead, maybe a Skullwinder or Junji, the Midnight Sky to give you some added recursion.

You may want to also add in about 5 cheap nonbasics. Temple of Malady, Woodland Cemetery, Dakmor Salvage, Tainted Wood, Twilight Mire, Viridescent Bog, Necroblossom Snarl are all very solid choices. Lands entering tapped won't be a super large issue if you stick to 5 or so but you will definitely notice the mana smoothing and appreciate it.

Hope this helps!

Not bad, but I don't think you need that many lands in the deck. In a three-color deck, 37 is usually more than enough (unless you're focussing on landfall a lot in which case you might benefit from more OR unless your deck contains lots of very cheap-to-cast mana-rocks, in which case you may need even less lands). You can also replace some lands in the deck with some more mana dorks like Llanowar Elves or Fyndhorn Elves.

Nice list, looks like a solid Temur build

I do think the average CMC of the deck is a little high though; I would try to cut some 3 and 4 drops and push up the 1s and 2s to make the opening turns more consistent. Birds of Paradise, Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Goblin Anarchomancer, Sol Ring would go a long way to help start getting to be able to play the good stuff faster.

Alternatively, you could swing the other route, cut out all the 1-2 drops from the deck, and make this a Keruga, the Macrosage companion list, which turns into additional card advantage from the command zone.

eww... alright, lemme help.

• Elvish Mystic / Llanowar Elves - maybe spring for the Birds of Paradise if you can. Fyndhorn Elves do the exact same thing at this point.

• Arbor Elf and then included Utopia Sprawl, maybe use Sakura-Tribe Elder. Satyr Wayfinder also provides the same utility here.

• Fanatic of Rhonas can also help.

• You're likely going to want to include Arboreal Grazer and the typical Flare of Cultivation.

• The other thing that might help considering the intention of your build, is it seems you've overlooked Dryad Arbor and Green Sun's Zenith.

• Your game winners/closers are Dungrove Elder, Lumra, Bellow of the Woods and Cultivator Colossus.

• Maybe consider Scapeshift, Ayula's Influence, Life from the Loam. Cheers!

This deck looks incredibly slow. You have only 1 piece of Turn 1 ramp in Mox DiamondGC. In its current state you are essentially starting the game on Turn 3, rather than Turn 1. With as many tapped lands as you are running, this clock will likely be even slower. After drawing several test hands with this list, I am yet to draw a good playable hand.

I would recommend trying to find room for at least some of the following: Birds of Paradise, Delighted Halfling, Llanowar Elves, Elvish Mystic, Fyndhorn Elves, Deathrite Shaman, Avacyn's Pilgrim, Elves of Deep Shadow. These additions will speed up the deck and allow you to actually play the game before turn 4.

I would also recommend trying to get some targeted removal in there. Cards such as Nature's Claim, Assassin's Trophy, Abrupt Decay, Swords to Plowshares.

You may also want some solid one-card wind conditions such as Craterhoof Behemoth, Overwhelming Stampede, or Triumph of the Hordes

Thank you for commenting on my deck! I appreciate it. FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not played with this Chatterfang, Squirrel General deck since the banning of Jeweled Lotus and Mana Crypt, both of which were in this build prior to being showcased on tappedout. They were replaced with Llanowar Elves and Fyndhorn Elves. Since these two zero-mana artifacts were replaced, there did not seem to be a need for Urza's Saga anymore, which was replaced by a basic Swamp. Anyway, in the rare instances when one of these artifacts was in my opening hand, a turn one Chatterfang was almost always game over, especially if that artifact was Jeweled Lotus, which allowed me to cast a one-drop in addition to casting our General. Aside from these occurrences, the deck is still lightning fast. There are so many different ways to combo-off and so many ways to find the needed pieces, it is almost a detriment to playing this build: Often times I have focused TOO MUCH on the combo pieces as opposed to engaging in some aristocratic game-play from turn to turn by whittling opponents' life totals down here and there. I admit that once a copy of Old Gnawbone becomes available, then it would easily replace Beledros Witherbloom. I originally had token doublers in this build like Parallel Lives and Doubling Season, but decided to take them out because Chatterfang is a token-doubler, should almost always be on our side of the battlefield, and I could use those cards in other decks. They ain't cheap! Tree rats 4life. Happy brewing!!

OUT: Cultivator Colossus, Selvala, Heart of the Wilds, Fyndhorn Elves, Elves of Deep Shadow, Vampiric Tutor, Not Dead After All, Bala Ged Recovery  ^Flip, Demonic Tutor, Lightning Greaves, Greater Good

IN: Zopandrel, Hunger Dominus, Shakedown Heavy, Hunted Bonebrute, Tear Asunder, Nature's Claim, Culling Ritual, Nature's Lore, Arcane Signet, Unnatural Growth, Underground Mortuary

Trying to work out some kinks in this deck. I find myself without big boys to sac to the 'Rog sometimes. Also, upping the land count a little instead of using dorks that will die to Culling Ritual.

I may also come to regret pulling out the tutors, but I never know what to look for that will help me win immediately, so out they come for now.
