Recently, this beauty was spoiled for the 2015 Commander Products. Once I saw her, I knew she was the B/G commander I have always looked for. Most B/G commanders for me are either too linear or don't give you enough card advantage. Meren is perfect because she gives you strong and steady recursion, as well as being resilient to removal. In addition, the deck can function just fine without her, but when she's on the field, things can get out of hand really fast. Here is my first draft of Meren of Clan Nel Toth. Any suggestions are welcome!
This list looks really fun, but, if the plan is to use Dredge to get stuff on the graveyard, why no Golgari Grave-Troll?
EDIT: The Dredge cards seem to go against the reanimation goodstuff plan, so I would change Stinkweed Imp and Golgari Thug for Entomb and either Toxic Deluge for a boardwipe or Grim Haruspex for more card draw. Probably the latter, can always loop E-Wit or Massacre Wurm.

I think maybe you should include some more card advantage; maybe Greater Good, Soul of the Harvest, Jarad's Orders, and Deathreap Ritual might help. Finally, High Market is a quick and efficient way to get xreatures into the yard. Maybe some creatures with devour, but that's about it. Hope this helps!
