This here was my first EDH deck. I was feeling sorry for my self as my favorite card rotated out of standard Momentary Blink. So I decided to make a blinking EDH deck. First issue was choosing colors. W/U/B felt very natural and each has tons of good Enter Battlefield/Leaves Battlefield goodies. Next I went looking for a W/U/B general who loves to be blinked. Low and behold Merieke Ri Berit. So the deck plays tons of blinks (or similair affects) and lots of dudes who like to be blinked.
This deck is DYING for Mistmeadow Witch. It has absolutely fantastic synergy with pretty much everything in your deck, as repetitive blinking is pretty good stuff. I also like to use it at times to blink out people's creatures as an emergency Fog.

Yes, I agree that Mistmeadow Witch should definitely be in this deck. Check out Turn to Mist and Galepowder Mage as well. I am also constructing a Merieke Ri Berit EDH deck and considered going the blink route, but decided to take it in another direction instead. I had only thought of blinking out Merieke, though, and I really like the suite of "comes into play" effects that you have come up with. Sounds like it should be a lot of fun to play-- let us know how it fares!

I've been playing this deck for a long time. Near 2 years, it was my first EDH deck I really liked. I've never done a tournament with it, mostly just fun stuff. Its very "interactive" and has some crazy plays.
Penmin's Aura isn't something a blink deck would want to use. Plus I've only alloted the deck one card slot to a card that only has relavence to my general. (see Thousand Year-elixir)
Mistmeadow is something I'm Highly considering to move in. Just have to sit down and find a place for it.

hehe, i started pulling together a mereike deck over the weekend and it looks very similar. I am running more a suite of bounce, blinks, and untaps though and then creatures with citp and some with tap effects.
I like adarkar valkyrie for permanently gaining control of whatever you use merieke to kill. I run royal assassin which is normally decent but also nice with the tap/untap effects i use like pestersmite and puppet strings and freed from the real. You should also consider the all-powerful norritt! He can untap mereike - or he can force attacks which is fun stuff in edh multiplayer
As long as you don't play (m)any legends other than merieke there's also somethingt o be said for arena of the ancients
Clone & Sakashima the Imposter are excellent blink targets and I've been really happy with Changeling Hero. You champion something like Draining Whelk or Seht's Tiger and then you can use your blink effects to abuse those abilities at instant speed (blink the champion, creature comes back and triggers). It is really nice to be able to do since many blink effects only bring the creature back at EOT. Scrivener can also loop with Ghostway every turn for extreme annoyance.

Using Adarkar Valkyrie with Merieke is a brilliant idea; I have added the Valkyrie to my plans. I am also planning to use Coffin Queen to gain control of the creatures that Merieke kills-- she is a very nice complement to Merieke and an extension of her ability. I like how she exiles the creature after recurring it so that its original owner cannot do the same.
