[[File:Hanweir.png|thumb|right|250px|Meld card: Hanweir, the Writhing Township formed by [[meld]]ing <c>Hanweir Battlements</c> with <c>Hanweir Garrison</c>]] {{TOCright}}{{for|the mechanic|Meld}} '''Meld cards''' are similar to [[double-faced card]]s and were introduced with ''[[Eldritch Moon]]'' and reused in ''[[The Brothers' War]]''.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/eldritch-moon-release-notes-2016-07-08|''Eldritch Moon'' Release Notes|Wizards of the Coast|2016-07-08}}</ref> Each [[meld pair]] consists of two specific cards whose back faces combine to form one [[oversized]] ''[[Magic]]'' card face. There are twelve cards with [[Meld]] for six pairs. A meld card isn't a double-faced card. It can't [[transform]] or [[Enters the battlefield|enter the battlefield]] transformed. ==Rules== {{CR|glossary|Meld Cards}} {{CR|712.4}} {{CR|712.5}} {{CR|712.21}} ==Rulings== * Although meld cards look similar to [[double-faced card]]s, they are not considered to be double-faced cards. They don't transform—instead, their back faces combine in pairs to form a single [[oversized]] card face. ** However, draft events involving meld cards are identical as double-faced cards, which is revealed to all players until next pick, unless the event is a pre-sleeved (for some Pro REL events) or the draft happened in [[Magic Online]]. * One card in each pair of meld cards has an ability that instructs you to exile the two cards and meld them. If you control more than one object with one of those names, you select one object with that name to exile. * When two cards are [[exile]]d and melded, they each leave the battlefield, then return together as one new untapped [[object]] with no relation to either of the objects that left the battlefield. [[Counter (marker)|Counter]]s, [[Aura]]s, [[Equipment]], and other [[effect]]s that affected those two cards don't affect the melded permanent. * Only two cards belonging to the same meld pair can be melded. [[Token]]s, cards that aren't meld cards, or meld cards that don't form a meld pair can't be melded. If an effect instructs a [[player]] to meld cards that can't be melded, those cards remain in exile. * While a meld card is anywhere other than the [[battlefield]], or is on the battlefield with its front face up, it has only the characteristics of its front face. * While a melded [[permanent]] is on the battlefield, it has only the [[characteristic]]s of its combined back face. Any effects that modify how the new object enters the battlefield will consider only the combined back face. * The [[converted mana cost]] of a melded permanent is the sum of the converted mana costs of its front faces. A creature that becomes a copy of a melded permanent has only the characteristics of that combined back face, and its converted mana cost is 0. * A player prompted to name a card may name the combined back face, and each player has the right to know that combined back face's characteristics at all times. * If an effect moves a melded permanent to a new zone and then affects "that card," it affects both cards. ==See also== *[[Substitute card]]s *[[Double-faced card]]s *[[Double-faced token]]s *[[Meld]] *[[Transform]] ==References== {{Reflist}} {{CR Navbox|700}} [[Category:Cards]]
