'Where were you when mtg became yugioh?' edition.


So, we can probably guess that Meld is how Hanweir the Writhing Township transforms, and that weird fused two-headed eldrazi-angel thing is probably another Meld creature (maybe Bruna and Gisela).

How do you think these Melded creatures are gonna work? Are they gonna be on the back of the cards, or are they gonna go full yugioh and give us a fusion deck?
If the latter, will the fusion deck be your sideboard/"outside the game," reducing how much space you have for actual sideboard stuff, or are they gonna make a whole new zone?
>>
>>47989329
>Black piker with no down side
WHAT
>>
>>47989329
The flip card will only be on the back of one of the cards, probably. Most likely the card with the rule text that mentions meld, and not the one with reminder text. So Graf Rats will flip, but Midnight Scavengers will be exiled by Graf Rats until the flip side dies, similar to Banisher Priest.
>>
>>47989350
Of that entire picture, I'm pretty sure that the LEAST exciting part was seeing a 2/1 creature for 2 mana.

>>47989397
>Scavengers will be exiled by Graf Rats until the flip side dies, similar to Banisher Priest.
Until it dies? I'd imagine that the fusion would be permanent.

It can't actually flip into the big dude. Why would it be a common on one side and a rare on the other. That doesn't make any sense.
Since we've already seen one Eldrazi card that uses the sideboard, it's pretty safe to assume Meld will bring it in from the sideboard. Anything else would be silly. Like letting you exile any number of Meld creatures face down at the start of the game as long as the number you exile doesn't recude the starting size of your deck to under 60. Or making you play an uncastable creature in your deck.
As for the wasted sideboard slots issue, wishboards are already a thing. I dont think they care too much about that. If they really wanted to deal with it, they could just make a list of all the meld cards and say you can put these specific cards in your sideboard for free.
>>
>>47989420
If a flipped card hits the graveyard, it reverts to its unflipped form. Graf Rats would have to flip back. The only way to solve this would be to make flip side arts separate in the token slot.

You'd hope so considering it requires you to play a 4CMC creature and then play a 7CMC creature and then have them both survive until the end step. If your opponent actually let that happen then they've aready lost pretty much every game of Magic they're ever going to play

it's more than likely going to take up realestate on the double faced sheet, it's a mechanic that's fairly complex, so NWO says no low rarity, but the higher rarity it's at the less play it'll see. it wants to both be incredibly prolific, but also rarely show up, and definitely doesn't want to present mismatched pairs more often than matching pairs. we get one common meld card that's fairly straightforward in all parts, flavorful rare melds, and any others were likely cut from the file for complexity/limited/not being a fucking mess once they're in the wild.

it's a mechanic that really wanted to be in a small product like commander or planechase or whatever, but thematically needed to be in EMN. the printed a little because it's a neat, worthy mechanic and this was likely the only shot to print any.

It's at common already, m8.

I think you might actually be better off with Bruna as your commander in that scenario.

Gisela is the better creature, but it's Bruna is the better enabler.

>muh NWO
Every set mechanic appears at common. Stop talking about shit you don't understand.
>>
>>47990118
and it's the only one, and it's common on the dfc sheet, so you're not seeing more than one per pack anyway. that's another point, if they'd pushed meld there would be almost no other flip cards.
>>
>>47990100
You did actually read the thread before you started memeing, right? Like how we have a common meld already?

You untap two of your creatures to block, and make the opponent sac an attacking creature.

>>47990155
i'm not talking about muh NWO, i'm talking about this being a mechanic that would blow a new player's mind and it can't be pushed at common for that exact reason. this is why NWO exists, to keep complexity from overloading common and more meld would absolutely do that.

From Maro's article:

>The design team was instantly enamored with the meld cards, but it took some time to convince all of R&D. We experimented with different numbers of meld cards before deciding to have three. We even fooled around with meld cards using more than two pieces, but decided that we should first walk before we ran—and if meld was a success, future design teams could figure out what new things could be done with the mechanic.

There will only be the Meld cards we've already seen. They're counting on using it in a future set down the line to make it worth it.
>>
>>47990164
I'm fine with 5 Meld cards, one (two) for each colour. I would beleive that.
I'm less happy about only 3 Meld cards instead of a 5 card cycle. I'd really like to see a Blue and a Green Meld to go with the White, Red, and Black Melds we have now.

So, Melding Walkers when?
Where the backside has the Planeswalker types of both, and both in the art, in a team-up sort of scenario rather than actual physical melding?
>>
So...whats the CMC of a melded card?
>>
>>47989793

It requires you to play or discard (out of Nahiri or Tormenting Voice, for example) a 4 cmc, then pray for it not to get exiled (it doesn't matter if it gets killed), and then play a 7 cmc. You can also ultimate Nahiri to get either of the pieces if the other is in play.

Definitely harder than just casting a Dragonlord Atarka, but I think the "combo" can be pretty consistent in standard.

And how the fuck do you stop a 9/10 Flying, First Strike, Vigilance, Lifelink if you can't cast 3 or less cmc spells.

Isn't she dead?

I mean, if Sigarda can bring back dead angels, I'm expecting she'll bring back Gisela and Bruna too, after they've been mercifully put to rest and Emrakul fucks off.

The four powerpuffs taking up Avacyn's mantle and trying to hold the plane's balance together would be pretty cool though.

It's from one of the first stories for SOI. Originally, before Sorin made Avacyn, there was a BW angel to complement the other 3 as protectors of the plane.

However the BW angel wasn't above using ambiguous methods like making alliances with powerful demons to protect the plane. When Avacyn showed up, she pretty much just counted the BW angel as a demon due to this, and killed the fuck out of her.

>>
>>47990396
Hmm, I thought It might be a Meld card, because of the way the shot worked.

>first frame: Horse with some latticing and a rider.
>second frame: Eldrazi latticed horseplosion with the rider fused into its back.

But maybe it would be something like "If you cast this card for it's emerge cost, transform it." and then have it flip to Eldrazi Latticed Horsesplosion.
>>
>>47990288
Yeah, I can see artifact melding as a thing. Of course, depending on the fluff for how that would work, a melded artifact could be a fairly rickety affair. More of say... a contraption than anything else
>>
>>47990469
it's likely just a flip card or just an emerge card, i'd put even odds on either.
>>
There being only 3 pairs of meld cards actually kind of makes sense, I guess. That's already 6 DFC slots consumed, and in this smaller set they'll have room for, what, like 20 maybe?

Sucks that we won't get to see more of the mechanic, but even just a couple more Meld cards mean we would have almost no werewolves.

Either way, I'll just be happy if we get Eldrazi Latticed Horsesplosion.

Problem is that the body is weak, meaning that when you attack with it by turn 4 the opponent is likely to have a creature to block and kill it unless you have a trick. This is a problem Hero of Bladehold didn't have thus making it see play then and a tiny bit in modern.

Fuck you, Jews of the Coast.
>>
>>47990780
Quite simply really. Let's just say for the sake of our sanity we're using Green, White and Blue phyrexians.

For starters you need to print six cards, two for each color, for the sake of the argument, lets refer to them as [color]top and [color]bottom.

Now each [color]top matches to a specific [color]bottom, like so:

>Utop+Gbottom=UG meld
>Gtop+Wbottom=GW meld
>Wtop+Ubottom=WU meld

To make this work for a three card meld you would need a top (Name, Mana cost and top half of the art) middle (bottom half of the art, creature type, rarity and first part of the text box) and bottom (second part of the text box and P/T)

The components for this meld win the case of the phyrexian meld I was talking about would be WUtop, UGmiddle and GWbottom.

Well maybe Wizards will reprint Victimize and Counterspell and Innocent Blood and turn standard on it's head. That's a pretty big maybe tho.
