Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Tail Recursion is a Bracket 3 Meren of Clan Nel Toth deck: a fair Golgari value shell around a compact Protean Hulk finish.\n\nThe engine is Meren. Every creature you sacrifice gives her an experience counter, and at end of turn she returns a creature from your graveyard with mana value at or below that count, so Bloodghast, Stitcher's Supplier, Pawn of Ulamog's Spawns and evoke creatures become repeatable value. Skullclamp, Grim Haruspex, Tom, Bert, and William and the sac-to-draw spells turn deaths into cards.\n\nThe win is Hulk. Kill it with Viscera Seer, Carrion Feeder, Ashnod's Altar, Culling the Weak or Natural Order, and the trigger fetches Phyrexian Delver and Viscera Seer. Delver returns Hulk, Seer kills it again, and the second trigger fetches Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista for infinite damage. Strionic Resonator and Rushed Rebirth double the trigger.\n\nThe rest is interaction: fifteen removal spells, including Toxic Deluge and Massacre Wurm against token boards, and Kokusho as a graveyard-independent backup. Heroic Intervention, Veil of Summer, Golgari Charm and Allosaurus Shepherd protect the combo turn. Three Game Changers, no free spells, no fast mana beyond Sol Ring and Dark Ritual. It wins around turn six or seven, and it's meant to be interacted with.\n"}]}
