I do think the Mishra meld is awesome. I may build him as commander, but I'm gonna try him out in my Isshin, Two Heavens as One deck. Double the attack triggers, great for Mishra's front side, absolutely devastating if you get to meld him. Melding him in Isshin, a bit of a tall order, but oh boy magical Christmas land if it happens!

I feel like Titania has one advantage over the other two. A real way to recover your non-Commander meld piece if/when it gets exiled with Riftsweeper. Exiling your melded creature is a big downside, but as you said you want to have alternatives. Also being in green with lands matter gives you a lot of toolbox capabilities with things like Glacial Chasm, Boseiju, and others. I do like the combo of Rootpath and all the fetches to filter out a TON of lands very quickly. You can run all the relevant fetches, panoramas, and new capenna fetches. Lastly for alternatives I really like things like Greensleeves, Ashaya, Multani, as well as the card Awaken the Woods.

@@friedpinnapple chainer isn’t just a recaster, he also is a better anger for decks like prosper or graveyard decks. Hell, that extra land in your hand on turn 9 could be useless unless chainer is out then you discard it to get a game changer out of the graveyard. His second ability is what drives him from mediocre to insane, you just need to know how to use him. Every deck he’s a part of for me loves him and uses him to his full potential every time.

@@friedpinnapple I genuinely don’t understand why you’re trying to argue with me, but if Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia gets destroyed (which it will be, because it’s a major threat) chainer just allows you to recast original Mishra, then you unearth PDE, and BAM you’ve got Mishra LtP back. Chainer is most definitely worth it in almost any rakdos colored decks, I stand my ground.

Urza, Lord Protector would benefit greatly from Relic of Legends since he can tap to pay for his meld. He is also great replacement for Goblin Electromancer in decks that have all three colors. He does work just as the base creature. It is definitely going to be hard to get to that meld off though. One thing though, Isochron Scepter and Dramatic Reversal will be cast for free, but it isn't going to do anything different after that point. Urza, Lord Protector doesn't reduce activation costs. HOWEVER, The Mightstone and Weakstone is another mana floating target for the Isochron/Reversal combo to keep it casting.

So if they Path to Exile your melded commander, then the second half of the card is... exiled? Seems like a really big flaw in any gameplan to win by using the melded version -- very fragile, can be exiled and then an ingredient you need to meld is just *gone* for the rest of the game.

That being said, the artifact seems effective to blink and the Urza card gives a good mana reduction. Comments?
