So a few months back I researched and crafted a Meren deck and got a few opinions on it through multiple threads. However, I have gotten extremely busy since then and haven't had a chance to make the deck or really keep up with the cards released since then. Since everything has slowed down a bit (at least for the next few weeks) I figured it would be a good time to gather some more opinions on the deck and finalize it. Since this is budget I would like to keep the final price to about the price of the "Need these" list which will be linked under the deck. Additionally, there is a wishlist below which shows cards I know should be in the deck but are excluded for money reasons.
One suggestion that has not been implemented from last time was to remove all my mana rocks and add null rod. This hasn't been implemented because this requires me to but Bloom Tender, Null Rod, Miri's Guile (to replace Sensei's) which for a budget deck is much too expensive. Additionally, Mike is missing for a similar reason (price) but will be added in the future.
