Delphen7 on Where's Emmy?

So.

All the eldrazi corruption in Innistrad was caused by Emrakul, and as I was looking at Hanweir recently, I noticed Emrakul was chilling in the background. I thought that was a neat touch, so I started looking at the other Eldritch melds to see if she was in them.

Hanweir

• Hanweir Battlements  ^Meld: She's chilling in the top right behind the big towers
• Hanweir Garrison  ^Meld: I believe she's the smudges in the top left; at least it looks tentacular if you tilt the screen back

Angels

• Gisela, the Broken Blade  ^Meld: She's pretty much the entire background, tentacles are pretty obvious
• Bruna, the Fading Light  ^Meld: Tentacles in the background, notably the one on the far left

Which brings us to Graf Rats  ^Meld and Midnight Scavengers  ^Meld. I cannot see her whatsoever, but it seems weird that only 2/3 melds would have Emmy. There is a dark smudge in the far background on the middle right of both that might be her, but my eyes aren't keen enough to tell, which brings us to the title.

Where's Emmy?

Delphen7 on Opponent Asks About Half of …

1 year ago

The card in question was Phyrexian Dragon Engine, but I'll use Graf Rats  ^Meld because it's been released.

Say I control Graf Rats (It has the image half), and since all faces are public information, my opponent looks at the back. My opponent then asks about the other half (the half with text).

Strictly by the rules, what do I have to reveal about it? What if I control the text half and my opponent asks about the name of the back card?

If you're going to run Midnight Scavengers/Graf Rats at all, you want 4 of each. Otherwise, don't run them as it reduces their upside drastically.

Also; Dash Hopes is a really, really bad card as it gives the choice to the opponent and they'll always choose whatever's best for them at the time.

@landofMordor: Well, would it? Also, I put both Meld duos in the deck in case they're needed. But I still have one last question to ask: What can bypass the "You Lose the Game" Clause in Boros' colors besides Sundial of the Infinite? Also, I found spot removal compatable for Sunforger for everything but Planeswalkers. I wonder why...

Finally, how good are Brisela, Voice of Nightmares, & Hanweir, the Writhing Township? Wish I could ask about Graf Rats, Midnight Scavengers, & Chittering Host... Not in Boros' Colors unfortunately...

While searching for Graf Rats and Midnight Scavengers for a friend, I stumbled upon Otherworldly Outburst. Thoughts?

tybonel13 on 7 Grusilda, Monster Masher Questions

6 years ago

I am building a Grusilda Un-EDH deck and I have some questions.

1. If I used Grusilda to combine a Graf Rats and a Midnight Scavengers, could they still meld into a Chittering Host?

2. If one half of a combination can transform and does so, what happens to the combination.

3. If both halves can transform and one does so, do both halves transform and it becomes a combination of their other sides?

4. If one half melds with another creature and does so, what happens with the combination?

5. If one half of a combination belongs to an opponent who leaves the game, what becomes of the remaining half?

6. If a combination is exiled and returned to the battlefield due to a card like Seal Away or Otherworldly Journey, what happens with the combination?

7. The wording of Grusilda implies that the combination has two separate names and mana costs. Is this correct?

Oran on Official missing/incorrect card/token thread

They aren't used very often but the cards don't have great meld support. I've been having to add versions of the melded cards to the deck, tutor them out and use them as though they were real life tokens. None of these cards have backs: Bruna, the Fading Light, Gisela, the Broken Blade, Graf Rats, Midnight Scavengers, Hanweir Battlements and Hanweir Garrison. Things like Brisela, Voice of Nightmares do exist but it's a pain in the ass. If Brisela, Voice of Nightmares could be a token in any deck with Bruna, the Fading Light that'd probably be the best fix Imo.

Door of Destinies, Skullclamp, Soul Foundry, In Garruk's Wake, Victimize, Graf Rats + Midnight Scavengers, Sewer Rats, and Sinuous Vermin make decent budget cards... but I'm just partial to these suggestions because their in my tribal deck:
