Meren of Clan Nel Toth
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
Whenever another creature you control dies, you get an experience counter.
At the beginning of your end step, choose target creature card in your graveyard. If that card's mana value is less than or equal to the number of experience counters you have, return it to the battlefield. Otherwise, put it into your hand.

- 2015-11-04
Each game pack includes a card labeled “Experience” with the suggestion “Place your experience counters here.” This card isn’t required for play. It’s simply a convenient spot to put your experience counters, which can be represented with dice, glass beads, or other small items.
- 2015-11-04
If Meren of Clan Nel Toth leaves the battlefield at the same time as other creatures you control die, its first ability will trigger for each of those creatures.
- 2015-11-04
You can’t choose to put the creature card into your hand if its mana value is less than or equal to the number of experience counters you have as the ability resolves.
- 2015-11-04
All experience counters are identical, no matter how you got them. For example, the last ability will count experience counters that you got from the first ability, from another ability, from proliferating, and so on.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.
