Chittering Host

Future of Meld Cards

New 05 Nov 2022 Asked by abelxiv 40 Comments

Though I do love the new set I'm dissapointed that there weren't more meld cards at all rarities in it. In ENM we also got just 3 meld pairs, with only Chittering Host showing up during limited games from time to time, and I think this time around meld will be even less impactful in limited. I think this would have been a great chance to try stuff like non-creatures melding into creatures or other non-creatures and exploring that design space. Will we ever see meld being a more common thing?


Vision design handed off five common meld pairs (each an artifact and a spell). There was just too much going on and they were pretty parasitic, so they got cut. Maybe one day in the right set…

Hey mark, just wanted to express my adoration for Meld. It's such cool mechanic, and the flavor is so much fun. I especially love Chittering Host. Anyway, keep doing good work.


Thank you. I’m glad you and so many others enjoy it. I will high five the R&D team.

Prelease Fun Stories

Mark! I want to thank you for one of the most fun limited environments I've played in a long time. I opened both Gisela and Thalia which propelled me to top 8 at my shop, but the highlight of my night was melding my Chittering Host. It was amazing!


Glad you had so much fun. I’d love to share other stories about cool/fun things that happened at the Eldritch Moon prerelease.
