## Official Rulings
- *(2022-10-14)* In the Commander variant, a meld card's color identity is determined only by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of its front face. No symbols or rules text of the permanent it melds into are considered.
- *(2022-10-14)* While a meld card is in any zone other than the battlefield, it has only the characteristics of its front face. The same is true while it's on the battlefield with its front face up.
- *(2022-10-14)* Although all the cards in The Brothers' War that create Powerstone tokens create a tapped Powerstone token, entering the battlefield tapped isn't part of the token's definition. Notably, if you create a token that is a copy of a Powerstone token, the token copy won't enter the battlefield tapped.
- *(2022-10-14)* When a pair of cards are melded, the result is a single creature that's represented by two cards. If the melded creature dies, both cards are put into your graveyard. As it leaves the battlefield, both of those cards are turned face up again. If the cards are put on the top or bottom of your library, you choose their relative order.
- *(2022-10-14)* A player prompted to name a card may name the combined back face, and each player has the right to know that combined back face's characteristics at all times.
- *(2022-10-14)* Mishra, Lost to Phyrexia enters the battlefield tapped and attacking, but since it wasn't declared as an attacker, no abilities that trigger when a creature attacks will trigger.
