While Meren can return that card to your hand, allowing it to be re-cast, if that card's mana value is less than or equal to the number of experience counters you have, it is put directly into play! Between the card's two abilities, Meren synergizes in incredible fashion with sacrifice outlets and Aristocrats synergies that can provide experience counters as well as self-milling effects that can provide a Meren player with additional options of which cards they'd like to return to play.Shenanigans | Illustration by Lindsey Look At the beginning of your end step, you can choose a creature in your graveyard.
The core reason that Meren is such a stellar graveyard commander is its ability to return creatures from the graveyard to play with ease each turn. As experience counters are put on players rather than permanents, this means that if Meren is destroyed and re-cast, it will be just as powerful as it was when it had last been in play. For four mana, this Golgari (black/green) Human Shaman provides its controller with an experience counter whenever a creature they control dies. Since the card's initial printing in Commander 2015, Meren of Clan Nel Toth has been one of the premier options for those looking to build a graveyard-focused Commander deck. Hogaak excels when paired with self-milling effects, allowing it to reliably cast to keep putting pressure on your opponents. As Hogaak can even be cast from the graveyard, where you can reliably get around the need to pay commander tax. Luckily, creatures such as Satyr Wayfinder and Stitcher's Supplier are efficient means of milling yourself, and can serve as bodies on the board to enable Convoke. Instead, Hogaak has access to both convoke and delve, meaning your creatures and cards in your graveyard can be utilized to cast this sizable creature without the need for mana in the first place. While it technically costs seven mana to cast, mana can't be spent to play Hogaak. When in play, Hogaak is an 8/8 with trample with no other relevant abilities – while this may sound rather straightforward and underwhelming, Hogaak's strength lies in the manner in which you can cast it. Though primarily known for its dominant run and subsequent banning in Modern, Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis is an impressive creature that can serve as a powerful Golgari (green/black) graveyard commander.
