Merieke Ri Berit
$2.91

Esper control that taps Merieke to steal creatures, then untaps her to destroy them, turning every untap effect into removal.
Read more
Merieke doesn't untap normally. Tap her to gain control of target creature for as long as you control her. When she leaves the battlefield or becomes untapped, the stolen creature is destroyed and can't be regenerated. That makes untap effects a kill switch: steal, untap to destroy, then steal again. The deck runs untappers, copy effects and control spells so Merieke can either hold the best creature on the table or wipe several of them in one turn.
In the recorded games, Thousand-Year Elixir was the main engine, untapping Merieke to chain steals and kills in one turn. Illusionist's Bracers copied her ability to take two creatures per activation, and Puppeteer Clique added more theft. Merciless Eviction cleaned up when the board got crowded, and Retreat to Hagra chipped in damage. One game tried to end with Jace's Archivist and Enter the Infinite, but counterspells stopped it. Opponents often held back creatures while Merieke was out. Exile effects on her, like Karlov of the Ghost Council's, broke the lock and let aggressive decks back in.
