I think I can play Desolation now coz of the new card and more LD. I just couldn't find any Dust Bowl right now. As for the demon, I think he's a really good toolbox creature paired with Life // Death and Gaea's Cradle. Sadly, we don't have access to U which is pretty good with the demon. I haven't updated my list on Tappedout though. Will update the list when I get home after summer holidays.
Razzy is a definite possibility. From what I've heard from other people testing it, it's a crazy good card.
I've personally had this deck shelved for a few months due to Protean Hulk. not sure if i wanna go that route or nah, and if so, Varloz is a more tight commander for GB combo with Hulk, just minus the stax.
I see.
I agree. Varolz would be better and faster outside stax.
I'm still playing Meren while building up a Zur Stax. I'm trying out the 2 cards I mentioned above.
I'll update my current list and post it up later this week.
Hi guys. What do you think about Razaketh, The Foulblooded in the new set? I think he's a very good toolbox creature. A sac outlet and an instant Demonic Tutor.

I'm curious. How do you feed to your own Smokestack when it's online since you're not running any token producers or the like that much? And what is your primary wincon? Just beatdown while pinning them down with the stax pieces?
@Gromgrom: I see you are running Winter Orb now. I suggest running Arbor Elf as well because he's good with Overgrown Tomb and Bayou(Unfortunately, don't have one yet. :() under Winter Orb. I was thinking about Manglehorn too but I think he's pretty slow and Reclamation Sage can hit enchantments as well. Let me know how will it perform to you.
I'm definitely going to test it after the folks at /r/cedh convinced me. It's another wincon. We just need to make room for Delver, Seer, and possibly walking ballista. I'm waiting for prices to settle first
I do mean delver yep! And Yeah, I dont see a point in infinite mana unless you can pump it into Basilica
I'm not quite sold with Protean Hulk in our list. He's at 7cmc whiich is steep to cast or recur with Meren. Maybe with Entomb/Reanimate combo and go off from there. I'll test him out at cockatrice. It might occupy my Void Winnower. We'll see.

Hi guys. I'm playing Meren as a stax aswell but my list is greatly inspired by Gromgrom's list. I just want to ask on what do you think about the new unbanned card Protean Hulk?
I wonder if Earthcraft is viable in this strategy. I think it's a very good card specially under Static Orb or Winter Orb. What do you think?
This is my current list and I am glad to say I'm liking it though I need more practice. I changed some cards to lower the curve. I removed City of Solitude since it affects some of the important cards such as Spore Frog, Sakura Tribe Elder, etc. when I want to use them outside my turn. Right now, I really want to fit Toxic Deluge but I don't have any flex spot/s. The best bet would be Riftsweeper and Spore Frog but they're pretty good in my meta.
I see.

Coz we're not playing W.
Btw. Don't forget about Root Maze and Winter Orb interaction.

As for Crop Rotation, you will love the card. It gives you so much utility. Intant gy hate with Bojuka Bogor extra mana with Gaea's Cradle.
Did you mean Phyrexian Delver? I'm also looking at infinite G with Channeler Initiate but I'm not sure if we need infinite mana.
