The new clone dude looks fun. I just don't know if he'll be very good since he requires attacking to get anything. I'll pass on him.
Thalia on the other hand, looks incredible, both as a general and as a member of the 99. She's rough on mana and on aggro while being easy enough to kill to be pretty fun. I think Karador's in love.

Oh yeah, poor marath, that "2UU: destroy target marath next turn, unless he uses his counters to kill this guy." single-use sorcery sure makes him worthless as a commander.
Also I'm pretty sure ancestral statue costs 10 to get animar infinite, and also palinchron costs more than ancestral statue to get infinite counters, not less (unless you have a cradle or high tide or something).
Whoops, screwed up right there, forgot that it clones itself (got distracted by all that blinking shenanigans required with Medomai Combo). Now that I think about it in terms with Animar, making yourself a 1/1 with protections irrelevant to at least one deck (Animar itself) completely isn't exactly a fantastic price to pay to merely reset Animar. Even bouncing it would be vastly more efficient. Also, yeah it costs 10 to infinite mana with Ancestral Statue, counted too quickly since I had no lands in front me there.
The Palinchron comparison was a technical thing I took for granted - I don't consider Animar getting huge and swinging at one player as a win-con most of the time (even if it's still an infinite interaction triggering it). Palinchron usually does much more than that, so I always took its "cost" in terms of value and it's "cheaper relative to its infinite potentials". Yes technically it will always cost more mana than the Statue (It starts at 7, after all).
Well, it's not like the card will see play effectively outside of Medomai shenanigans anyway.

well, it's tricky to use with medomai anyway, with the eot legend rule issues. More likely a silly card for clone/theft decks.

Unless you're already running Conjurer's Closet (when you can stack it so that the Clone blinks and resets itself before Medomai returns) in a deck, including the combo (inclusive of the Closet) seems a bit too clunky if all three cards separately don't do that much on their own with the other parts of a deck, especially in "not-casual" metas. Mirror Gallery works as well, but honestly even less strategies run that when compared with the Closet.
The donation plan doesn't actually work since the Clone returns Medomai back under your (owner's) control, which means the EOT Legend problem still kicks in, making the donation sort of pointless in its entirely.
Traditionally, "temporary/changeable" clones like Renegade Doppelganger don't make the cut for most decks. Even the "better" ones like Cemetery Puca require either to fit in an existing strategy (which makes them niche), or force said strategy into a deck, which well, doesn't really work out. The only one really ahead of the competition in this category of clones is Sakashima.
But still, Medomai was one of those cards that were "good, but bad" and it was briefly exciting to think a new card could potentially break it, although it turned out clunky in the end, unless you were already in the blinking theme/niche, like Brago, King Eternal decks (which works I think, since as long as both Brago and the Clone hit an opponent at the same time, you get the extra turn and get to blink the Clone immediately without the need for all the EOT shenanigans.
I very much want to try and make a Brisela, Voice of Nightmare deck now, since that's some pretty cool stuff. I suppose the actual commander must be Bruna, the Fading Light who can reanimate her fellow horror (and isn't a horrible reanimation commander in her own right). Very cool.
Not at all happy that they made a meld mythic, but that's another issue.
A bit sad that neither of the Hanweir pieces are legendary, as that monstrosity would be a fun commander, but Hanweir Battlements is at least acceptable levels of haste granting anyways, and the Garrison is a decent token producer, like a mini hero of bladehold.
Bruna, the Fading Light
5WW

When you cast Bruna, the Fading Light, you may return target Angel or Human creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield.
Flying, vigilance
Gisela, the Broken Blade
2WW
Legendary Creature - Angel
4/3
Flying, first strike, lifelink
At the beginning of your end step, if you both own and control Gisela, the Broem Blade and a creature named Bruna, the Fading Light, exile them, then meld them into Brisela, Voice of Nightmares.
Brisela, Voice of Nightmares
Legendary Creature - Eldrazi Angel
9/10
Flying, first strike, vigilance, lifelink.
Your opponents can't cast spells with converted mana cost 3 or less.
Now there, New Bruna and New Gisela are viable generals on their own (Bruna is like Bladewing the Risen, and Gisela can be a voltron general), in the same deck they can meld together to become stronger. I wonder if there's a commander good that could host both of them together, perhaps an Avacyn deck
I assume Brisela wouldn't do Commander damage. Not that she needs to.
Well, considering "Commander-ness" is a property of the physical card itself... and technically combat damage only comes from the half that has power/toughness... that means only Brisela only deals Commander Damage if the Commander was Bruna
Seriously though, we'll have to wait for the Committee to decide on that, although I think it'll be hilarious if they actually agreed on what I mentioned above.
More like Brisela, EDH Rules Nightmare. I'll guess that if either of her "halves" are your commander then the melded version deals commander damage too.

If you want a deck dedicated to finding both haves of Brisela (God, I thought I was joking when I called them that), it would probably be easiest in Captain Sisay.
My feelings on the mechanics in general:
Escalate: thumbs up. I've never been disappointed by variants of kicker. Scaling spells are interesting.
Meld: No that you, wizards. Not interested in meld. In limited, you have to hope and pray you get both halves, even the commons give you no guarantee. In constructed, you have to use up twice as much deck space to get the card you actually want (assuming you're trying to meld and not just playing a card that's good on its own.) I also don't quite get the flavor. If we keep Bruna and Gisela seperate, they stay as angels, but when we summon them together they go horror but we still control them? Does that mean that we're playing as Emrakul now? Meh....
Emerge: I love the offering mechanic in Kamigawa, so I'm inclined to like emerge. I just wish they had carried over the "you may cast this way at instant speed" part.

Zedruu: "This deck is not only able to go crazy - it also needs to do so."
Meld is quite possibly the worst sealed deck and draft mechanic ever conceived.
Yeah, at higher rarities, it is. But each card at the higher rarities is good on its own, and then they put one pair at common, so there is a reasonable chance of getting both halves there if you want them in draft (especially because you only need to grab the good half and can get the 2/1 passed to you extremely easily). They only put three pairs in the set, and I suspect they did it this way precisely, as you say, because it could have been much worse in limited. As it is, I think they dealt with the problem very well. The times you actually get both halves of the rare/mythic meld cards will just be great stories.
Meld is quite possibly the worst sealed deck and draft mechanic ever conceived.
They only have it on 6 cards, or 3 pairs, so we will barely see it. Its not going to be over-represented like stupider mechanics in the past like tribute, cipher, support, or cohort.
The only real way to cheat Brisela with any sort of speed is to buried alice into a combination of Victimize or Ever After. Also if you got Gisela (since she is cheaper and on curve) out you can Rescue From the Underworld to get back her sister. Also there is Patriach's Bidding naming angels to bring them both back.
But I agree Meld is pretty stupid. God forbid one of your pieces gets exiled, you are totally boned. The transform melded sides are just so bad ass... I knew there were going ti be too many hurdles to jump through to get awesome beasties like that.
Meld is just bad for edh too since you need the named card instead of just a card type.

To the people that say that a card needs to be a higher rarity because of Limited... I hate you guys so much. I present to you with this.
I might include both Gisela and Bruna in my Radiant, Archangel deck. It's almost a personal dilemma to include both because I despise the Eldrazi but then again I'm certainly not above using Bribery on people that have them so why not.
I think meld is actually fine in limited since their is only 1 pair at common, and the halves are in the same color and playable on their own (1B vanilla 2/1 less so, but the other is a slightly-worse warren pilferers.) So it can be an extra incentive to pick up more copies of those 2 cards. It's also very cute that the gravedigger half can recur the other half.
If you do ever end up melding it in limited, you feel like you did a cool thing. I like it.

Thalia's Lancers seem pretty good. Outside of Sisay their worst case is grabbing Jitte and swinging with first strike. Add some blink and you can really get going.

I think you got this wrong. Meld is not even a full mechanic of the set with only 6 cards (3 pairs) having meld (4 of which are rare or mythic). We still have 4 keyword mechanics on EMN: Delirium and Madness return, Emerge and Escalate are new. So it's not so much of a "sealed deck and draft mechanic" as a little bonus on some cards that add extra spice to otherwise limited playable cards.
Whats up with the decision to give Bruna and Gisela different rarity? Seems utterly random...
Gisella is tournament ready, Bruna less so but has potential. See Baneslayer Angel.
I can see the power level argument, but Bruna has different rarities on both sides of her cvard, or am I being stupid? Brunas collector number is 15 hand has the "R" rarity indicator on the bottom of the card as well as the set symbol. Brisela's bottom half also has collectors number 15 (so I guess it's the flip side of Bruna) but has indicators for mythic rarity both in the set symbol and the rarity marker at the bottom.
The question is, at which rarity will Bruna be printed?
