Good with Horde of Notions.

Very versatile. Good for taking abilities that are too good for the creatures they belong to, like Zealous Inquisitor's. The 3/4 body packs a punch, and the art looks great. All-round good.

I'd rather play Experiment Kraj, but this has less color investment...

Retarded with Horde of Notions. With the Horde, you can pay WUBRG for an elemental. With this guy, you have to pay WUUBRG for an elemental.

@arglypuff- make that 5U, not WUUBRG
though there are better mana fixers

@channelblaze: it would live, as it is a creature, not a planeswalker. however, due to rules changes, it can still only use one of gideon's abilities a turn.

Could I copy Gideon Jura with this if I turned the gideon into a creature? Or would the elemental die for having no counters? I don't really get it...thx if someone answers this,

Edit: Thanks, and one if that's true, and I used it's lure ability, what the heck would happen?

@channelblaze since only players and planeswalkers can be attacked, you'd put 2 loyalty counters on Quicksilver Elemental, and that's it.

If I have the elemental copy Merieke Ri Berit's ability and steal an opponent's creature with it, do I get to keep the stolen creature when the power wears off at the end of the turn? If I do get to keep it, will the creature die when the elemental untaps or dies, or just remain mine until some other source kills it or returns it to its owner? Any insights would be helpful. Thanks.

This plus Experiment Kraj is ridiculous, especially in EDH. Since it lets you spend the mana as any color, you can get around the only producing color of your general. Really fun for stealing opponent's abilities, and makes for really interesting interactions with March of the MAchines.

If you combine it with Both Niv Mizzet, The Firemind and Niv Mizzet, The Dracogenius you can pay four mana and deal infinite damage and draw infinite cards.

It's also good to use with Experiment Kraj just as a backup. If Kraj gets Meddling Mage-ed or something, you can fit this into most of its combos instead.

March of the Machines and this makes Door to Nothingness a lot easier to get the colors for. Of course, since Mycosynth Lattice can do that better and on its own its hardly the most impressive combo that this thing can do. Overall it seems like a slightly worse Kraj except for the fact that its only blue and easier to splash or fit into a deck already.

@timmiemak
Merieke's ability says when she leaves the battlefield or becomes untapped. Because, however, you can't leave this guy tapped and the ability will be referencing this card, when he becomes untapped or leaves the battlefield you'll lose the creature.
