Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie rulings

2025-06-06
The back face of a nonmodal double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color.
2025-06-06
One card in each pair of meld cards has an ability that instructs you to exile the two cards and meld them. If you control more than one object with the specified name, you select one object with that name to exile.
2025-06-06
Note that the permanent represented by the combined back faces is colorless unless it has a color indicator.
2025-06-06
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.
2025-06-06
If an effect moves a melded permanent to a new zone and then affects "that card," it affects both cards.
2025-06-06
In the Commander variant, a double-faced card's color identity is determined by the mana costs and mana symbols in the rules text of both faces combined. If either face has a color indicator or basic land type, those are also considered. For example, Cecil, Dark Knight's color identity is black and white, since its front face is black and its back face has a white color indicator.
2025-06-06
If you are instructed to put a card that isn't a double-faced card onto the battlefield transformed, it will not enter at all. In that case, it stays in the zone it was previously in. For example, if a single-faced card is a copy of Crystal Fragments, it will be exiled during the resolution of its second ability and remain in exile.
2025-06-06
When two cards (for example, Fang, Fearless l'Cie and Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie) are melded, the result is a single permanent (in this case, Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance) that's represented by two cards. If the melded permanent goes to your graveyard from the battlefield, both cards are put into your graveyard. As the melded permanent leaves the battlefield, both of those cards are turned face up again. If the cards are put on the top or bottom of a library, their owner chooses their relative order.
2025-06-06
The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.
2025-06-06
Only two cards belonging to the same meld pair can be melded. Tokens, cards that aren't meld cards, or meld cards that don't form a meld pair can't be melded. If an effect instructs a player to meld cards that can't be melded, those cards remain in exile.
2025-06-06
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.
2025-06-06
Each nonmodal double-faced card in this release is cast face up. In every zone other than the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of its front face. If it is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's up; the other face's characteristics are ignored.
2025-06-06
When two cards are exiled and melded, they each leave the battlefield, then return together as one new untapped object with no relation to either of the objects that left the battlefield. Counters, Auras, Equipment, and other effects that affected those two cards don't affect the melded permanent.
2025-06-06
The mana value of a melded permanent is the sum of the mana values of its front faces. A permanent that becomes a copy of a melded permanent has only the characteristics of that combined back face, and its mana value is 0.
2025-06-06
Each face of a nonmodal double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on. While a nonmodal double-faced permanent is on the battlefield, consider only the characteristics of the face that's currently up. The other set of characteristics is ignored.
2025-06-06
A nonmodal double-faced card enters with its front face up by default, unless a spell or ability instructs you to put it onto the battlefield transformed or allows you to cast it transformed, in which case it enters with its back face up.
2025-06-06
While a melded permanent is on the battlefield, it has only the characteristics of its combined back face. Any effects that modify how the new object enters the battlefield will consider only the combined back face.
2025-06-06
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.
2025-06-06
A token that is created as a copy of a double-faced permanent or a double-faced card in another zone is a double-faced token. It will have both the front face and back face of whatever object it's copying. If it's copying a double-faced permanent whose back face is up, the token will enter with its back face up. It can transform if instructed to do so.

Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie keyword rules

Meld Rule 701.37

Meld is a keyword action that appears in an ability on one card in a meld pair. To meld the two cards in a meld pair, put them onto the battlefield with their back faces up and combined. The resulting permanent is a single object represented by two cards. See rule , “Double-Faced Cards.”

Only two cards belonging to the same meld pair can be melded. Tokens, cards that aren’t meld cards, or meld cards that don’t form a meld pair can’t be melded.

If an effect instructs a player to meld objects that can’t be melded, they stay in their current zone.

Mill Rule 701.13

For a player to mill a number of cards, that player puts that many cards from the top of their library into their graveyard.

A player can’t mill a number of cards greater than the number of cards in their library. If given the choice to do so, they can’t choose to take that action. If instructed to do so, they mill as many as possible. Similarly, the player can’t pay a cost that includes milling a number of cards greater than the number of cards in their library.

An effect that refers to a milled card can find that card in the zone it moved to from the library, as long as that zone is a public zone.

If an ability checks information about a single milled card but more than one card was milled, that ability refers to each of the milled cards. If that ability asks for any information about the milled card, such as a characteristic or mana value, it gets multiple answers. If these answers are used to determine the value of a variable, the sum of the answers is used. If that ability performs any actions on “the” card, it performs that action on each milled card. If that ability performs any actions on “a” card, the controller of the ability chooses which card is affected.
