Turn 1 Faithless Looting discarding both Gisela and Bruna.
Turn 2 Goryo's Vengeance targeting new Bruna.
Poof! Gisela!
This terrible idea brought to you by the guy who made a turn 3 Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind reanimator combo deck for Modern.
Bwhahahahaha!
(Yes I know it's bad.)

I don't quite get the point of the thread here... basically you can T2 any legendary creature with this sequence, right? And what would you do once Gisela hit for 10 and got sac'd? :D
The Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind is good though :)

Gisela wouldn't get sac'd (if it worked).
For the same reason Obzedat, Ghost Council doesn't get sac'd.

I understand about Obzedat because you put his trigger on the stack first... but Gisela?! THIS Gisela, Blade of Goldnight?! I still don't see how or I'm missing something huge because I'm dumb (which is very likely) :>

Here's how to do it.
- Turn 1: Land + Simian Spirit Guide to cast Lotus Cobra.
- Turn 2: Fetch Land (adds a mana), crack fetch for untapped land (adds another mana), tap both lands, play the new Gisela for 4 mana.
- Turn 3: Land, Cast Shields of Velis Vel, then cast Moonmist.
- ???
- Get up and dance like the dirty cheater you know you are.
- Turn 4: Sneak Cheatyface into play.

No for two reasons, Moonmist says "transform all HUMANS" and none of the pairs are both humans.
Also, the meld cards aren't "transformed" they are "melded"

Ohthenoises He cast Shields of Velis Vel to make it a human, but I guess meld/transform will be treated differently. We'll just have to wait for an official ruling.

But why would you do that when you could have a T2 Griselbrand and win on the spot?
June 27, 2016 10:19 p.m.
Because Griselbrand is bad and I with extreme bias and blaseless reasoning despise the card.
Case closed.

I'm really hoping that there's a lot of sarcasm there...
June 27, 2016 10:31 p.m.
Maybe not as intense feelings as I had. The bad thing was definitely sarcastic.
I just frankly don't like Grishoalbrand. I'd rather win with dumb stuff like Niv and Curiosity. Or my shattered dreams of Brisela.
Or Obzedat. That's fun too.
I'm not much of a meta conformist. I net-deck. But to my own beat.

That's just a little disgusting when it goes off.
