Bruna, the Fading Light

Un-Rules and Meld Mechanic

New 28 Aug 2021 Asked by timpietsch 35 Comments

Un-Rules question =) What happens if I control Gisela, the Broken Blade, and change ____'s name to Bruna, the Fading Light? Do they successfully meld at the end of my turn, even though ____ doesn't have a backside? Gisela's effect specifically says that I only need "a creature named Bruna, the Broken Blade" for it to work, am I right?


No, you also need the backside.

Melding Mechanic Misfire

Un-rules question: Suppose I pay 1 to turn _____'s name into Bruna, The Fading Light and I also control Gisela, The Broken Blade. Do I still meld them during my end step? Will whatever they meld into still function as a normal Brisela?


Gisela will try to Meld with what she thinks is Brusela, but will fail because although they share a name, they aren’t the same. The Melding will fail and each will revert to their original form.
