@ MisterAction; great comment, but she's pretty fragile and if a table full of people can't kill a 1/1, they deserve to lose.

She has Esper colors?

Deathless Angel might come in handy. She'll protect Merieke, and can save creatures from being destroyed when Merieke becomes untapped.

Uhh... I think most people tend to forget, she has a "give the creature back" clause... all you have to do is steal her yourself. Sure, not always easy or effective; but this does set up a few interesting interactions.
A, you steal an indestructible creature. Clearly, she can untap, and "destroy" it. But, you still only control it under the condition that you control Merieke, so if someone bounces her, you get your guy back.
B, the exact opposite, assumes you're stealing an average creature, perhaps with the intention of killing it or some such. So you tap, gain control of it. They use Grab The Reins on her, and you find yourself unable to respond for some raisin; they get her and their dude back. Well, turn passes, you get your Merieke back, tapped, but you decide to untap her to steal something else... and the guy you don't even have control of suddenly dies, because the delayed trigger she creates doesn't seem to be contingent on if you control the creature or not, only that you t... (see all)

Realy, noone thinks she would pair well with an Intruder Alarm?

@Rakdos - yes, if something switches ownership during combatm, it is removed from combat.

She inspires me to make Esper EDH.

@Pyronfirelord: Except that Merieke will be summoning sick.

I have this as a commander with a variety of untap sources. A lucky turn three Commander is pretty damn good and a turn four stealer is even better.
I do think Rubinia Soulsinger is generally better because that card is green so there's land ramp available.
