What Creatures Would You Combine Here?

So we are all familiar with The Mimeoplasm being the most likely card to allow you to combine two of your favourite creatures together, through copying one and making it stornger with the other. Of course, one thing it doesn't do (for good reason) is mix their abilities, which would be even closer to grafting your creatures together.
So, say this card existed:
Now, any argument about how broken this is or how it doesn't work or how it would never be printed is besides the point. The above card is merely a poor example of trying to achieve a particular effect.
If a card allowed you to combine the abilities of two creature cards, what would be those creatures? For example...
Maybe Sliver Legion combined with the card text of Sliver Queen ?
Or Phyrexian Negator combined with the card text of Gloom Surgeon ?
Or Emrakul, the Aeons Torn with the card text of It That Betrays ?
Brainstorm, people! I want to see awesomeness! Or, alternatively, cards that break the game all on their own!

I would say Ornithopter with the text of Emrakul, the Aeons Torn .

As intended, it would be a Sliver Legion clone with all the abilities of Sliver Queen . So it would have both sets of abilities. It would be named "Sliver Legion", do the same things as him. Notice the word "combined" in my examples (except for the third, I screwed up there).
I screwed up The Duoplasm royally however, it needs to say "except it ALSO" has the text of the other card or something. In your example problem, that first one would be true, it would be Sliver Legion but only with Sliver Queen 's abilities.
But you get the drift of the discussion here, right? So just use your imagination as to how such a card would work and get combining abilities!

How about Vampire Nocturnus plus Bloodline Keeper Flip , for the lulz?
Including the transform. Would be fun, for the guy playing that card, obviously.
Imba vampires would be imba.

I had another Stroke of Genius : how about Leveler and Labratory Maniac
July 4, 2013 11:29 a.m.
Desecration Demon with the text of It That Betrays
Scute Mob with the text of Thrun, the Last Troll
Goblin Guide with the text of Phage the Untouchable or Blightsteel Colossus
I like the 3rd one the best
July 4, 2013 11:30 a.m.
The body of Death's Shadow with the text of Invisible Stalker . Does this make me a bad person?
July 4, 2013 12:55 p.m.

So from the suggestions we've had so far, we have combinations that result in such monstrosities as the Ornithopter Of Aeons, the Stuffy Angel, the Last Scute Mob, and Goblin Colossus. Blimey.
I'd like to add the combo of Chronozoa with the text of Mirror-Sigil Sergeant . That's a lot of stupid over time.

Forgive me if I'm being dumb, but does Platinum Emperion + Azor's Elocutors work? I mean, sure, the Emerion prevents you losing life as a result of damage, but it doesn't actually prevent damage being dealt to you does it? And therefore the filibuster counters are removed? Just wanted to check that.
July 4, 2013 2:21 p.m.
Yeah, that's how it works. The damage isn't prevented, the result of damage (life total changing) is.
Anywho, I'd like to just screw with people. Platinum Angel with wossname demon that's the opposite of Platinum Angel . Game never ends!

You're thinking of Abyssal Persecutor , erabel. Bizarre indeed.

What if there was an enchantment that turned all your creatures into slivers with the flavor of slivers too? So I'm not talking about Hivestone , I'm talking about something like this...
- Sliverization WUBRG
- Enchantment
- All creatures lose all rules text then gains all rules text lost this way.
Sure the wording is a bit weird, but other than that... sounds fun?

Infinite combo time!
Pili-Pala
with Grand Architect
text - Grand Pili Pala.
Phantasmal Image
with Palinchron
text - Phantasmal Palinchron.
Any non-angel creature with a good ETB ability, say Murderous Redcap
with Restoration Angel
text - Restoration Redcap.
I'm loving the alliteration
July 8, 2013 8:31 p.m.
Aw shoot, Phantasmal Palinchron only works if it gets a P/T boost, unless I can copy a creature and still have it keep the Palinchron abilities
July 8, 2013 8:35 p.m.
Phyrexian Obliterator with the text of Prized Unicorn - Phyrexian Unicorn or Prized Obliterator?
July 8, 2013 8:38 p.m.
I thought it had the body of the first creature, but the second creature's abilities overwrote the first creature's abilities?

Nah, I jsut messed up the wording. It's meant to have all the original attributes of the copied creature PLUS the other exiled creature's additional text. We're not meant to take the card I posted there literally, just the idea of "Combine the texts of two creatures. Which ones would you choose?"
July 8, 2013 8:43 p.m.
Oh, this one's easy.
Duoplasm + Duoplasm, grabbing emrakul, emrakul, emrakul, and emrakkul.
July 8, 2013 8:48 p.m.
Dryad Arbor and Arbor Elf because can. Morselhoarder + Devoted Druid , though that can be done with Necrotic Ooze . The most fun one is Grizzly Bears with the text of Chimney Imp . Village Bell-Ringer with the text of Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker . Any horse (like Armored Warhorse ), and Nightmare , with nightmare's name, so nightmare can be a nightmare horse. This requires quite a bit of stuff. Hero of Bladehold with Taunting Elf / Prized Unicorn 's text, equipped with Basilisk Collar , while Intruder Alarm is in play. All creatures untap, and must block a deathtouch blocker WOOOT. I'll try to think of others.

Phytohydra with the text of Empyrial Archangel
Invisible Stalker with the text of Phage the Untouchable
Triskelion with the text of Mephidross Vampire
July 9, 2013 10:19 a.m.
pookypuppy6 says... #31
@DaShPrime: I love the Phytohydra /Empyrial Archangel one. I shall call it Empyrial Hydra. Or Phytoangel, not sure.
Griselbrand with the text of Lorescale Coatl
Grave Titan with Mentor of the Meek
Ixidron with Massacre Wurm (would that even work?)
July 9, 2013 11:08 a.m.
Ixidron thing would work, his ability doesn't go on the stack, and even if it did, you could stack it on top of the Massacre Wurm , and even if you couldn't, the creatures would still have -2/-2 when they turned face down.

Goblin Sharpshooter + Harvester of Souls , Master of Cruelties , Liliana's Reaver, or Glissa, the Traitor .
July 9, 2013 8:34 p.m.
Squirrel Mob + Nut Collector would be my card... I'd play that any day, any time!
July 27, 2013 3:47 p.m.
Infral: So either Squirrel Collector or Mob Nut? xD
How about
Grizzly Bears with the text of Ashcoat Bear !! So stronk!
July 29, 2013 6:28 a.m.
Dallie: Or maybe even, A Mob of Squirrels Collecting Nuts!
July 29, 2013 6:45 a.m.
How about B.F.M. (Big Furry Monster) and Akroma, Angel of Wrath or is that just too mean?

hos about Emrakul, the Aeons Torn and It That Betrays ?
DaShPrime says... #2
I don't quite understand. Taking your first example, wouldn't it be exactly the same as Sliver Queen itself? It would get WUBRG 7/7 from Sliver Legion and then the card text from Queen. Or do you mean the card text gets added onto the existing card?
