I liked the idea of Meld, and I think it is very cool, but for it to have been playable in legacy you would've needed 2 cards that were either more than decent on their own and their meld version worth the card disadvantage or had some protection from removal OR you would have needed 2 cards that were at the very least better end up better than Dreadnaught-Stifle.
Surprised this wasn't discussed:
At first glance, i'd it classed as a worse grisly salvage. This, however, let you recur a card you have in the graveyard and don't need you to have it on top of your library. It's not Legacy playable, but it's a twist on an effect that i wanted since forever (i often designed green "brainstorm" as G - sorcery- mill 3 - recover a creature or land from your graveyard). I'd love to see Regrowths effects variants as card selection for green , and i think self-mill fit perfectly flavorfully in green, as a way to "compost" and "cycle" naturally.
Grapple with the past seems great. I don't know in which shell it could see play though. The ability to recur a threat or to dig for one is great. Being able to get a wasteland is pretty nice too. It "shuffles" after a Brainstorm. I feel like this card might be played. If only it cost G.![]()
A third addition to the Looter il-Kor/Jeskai Elder grouping. Obviously, worse evasion is a big deal for the ability, but there it is.

Wharf Infiltrator's token creation ability doesn't require you to connect, which is kind of a big deal. Can't really think of a deck in Legacy that could abuse that, though, as Dredge has more broken things to do.
The best part of the card is how it plays off the entirely-forgettable Make a Wish from the original Innistrad.

(In case anybody didn't catch it.)
I could see Grapple maybe being a 2-of in something like RUG Delver. It feeds Goyf and Mongoose while returning one of your few creatures or a Wasteland to your hand. But I wouldn't bet on it being played/playable.
Belcher, RUG Delver, Death & Taxes, Colorless Eldrazi, Goblins

When ~ deals combat damage to a player, exile the top card of your library. Until end of turn, you may play that card.
