Just a quick question, and I'm sure this will not work like I want it to, but if Breathkeeper Seraph is soulbound with Brisela, Voice of Nightmares on the death trigger will Brisela come back to the battlefield melded, come back as both individual cards or not at all?
I'm sure it's the last of the three, but it never hurts to ask.
Breathkeeper Seraph and Brisela

The two cards would come back.
Go to full post713.4. If a melded permanent leaves the battlefield, one permanent leaves the battlefield and two cards
are put into the appropriate zone.
Example: Chittering Host, a melded permanent, dies. An ability that triggers "whenever a
creature dies" triggers once. An ability that triggers "whenever a card is put into a
graveyard from anywhere" triggers twice.
713.4c If an effect can find the new object that a melded permanent becomes as it leaves the
battlefield, it finds both cards. (See rule 400.7.) If that effect causes actions to be taken upon
those cards, the same actions are taken upon each of them.
Example: Otherworldly Journey is an instant that reads "Exile target creature. At the
beginning of the next end step, return that card to the battlefield under its owner's
control with a +1/+1 counter on it." A player casts Otherworldly Journey targeting
Chittering Host, a melded permanent. Chittering Host is exiled. At the beginning of the
next end step, Midnight Scavengers and Graf Rats are both returned to the battlefield,
each with a +1/+1 counter on it.
Example: False Demise is an Aura with the ability "When enchanted creature dies,
return that card to the battlefield under your control." A Chittering Host enchanted by
False Demise dies. The triggered ability returns both Midnight Scavengers and Graf
Rats to the battlefield.
Example: Mimic Vat is an artifact that reads, in part, "Whenever a nontoken creature
dies, you may exile that card." A Chittering Host dies. As Mimic Vat's triggered ability
resolves, its controller makes a single choice and both cards that represented Chittering
Host are either exiled or not.
Current Commander decks: Zurgo Helmsmasher - Borborgymos Enraged - Elenda, the Dusk Rose - Doran, the Seige Tower - Sliver Overlord - Yarok, the Desecrated - Scion of the Ur-Dragon - Hazoret the Fervent - Purphoros, God of the Forge - Gisela, Blade of Goldnight - Marath, Will of the Wild - Ramos, Dragon Engine - Ruhan of the Fomori - Narset, Enlightened Master - Kokusho, the Evening Star - Mizzix of the Izmagnus - Dragonsoul Knight (Pauper) - Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas (Precon)

Why bother with mere rulings when so many answers can be found in the Rules?
