Fang, Fearless l'Cie

Vanille's second ability checks the battlefield at the moment it would trigger to see if you own and control Vanille and a creature named Fang, Fearless l'Cie. If you don't, the ability won't trigger at all. If it does trigger, the ability will check again as it tries to resolve. If you don't control both Fang and Vanille at that time, the ability won't resolve, you won't have the opportunity to pay {3}{B}{G}, and none of the ability's other effects will happen.

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.

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.

If multiple cards leave your graveyard at the same time, Fang's ability will trigger only once.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The mana value of a nonmodal double-faced card is the mana value of its front face, no matter which face is up.

The back face of a nonmodal double-faced card usually has a color indicator that defines its color.

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.

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.

If an effect moves a melded permanent to a new zone and then affects "that card," it affects both cards.

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.

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.

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.

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.
