Just because there weren't enough ways to break Intruder Alarm yet.

and you are right, it isnt another becaues meeike isnt a come into play effect blinking spirit with the intruder alarm however is... just turn all your lands into creatures and you got infinite (Nature's Revolt) anyone?

What I'm thinking is:  You play a creature.  Merieke untaps, destroying the last creature I grabbed from you.  I grab your new creature.  I now have a monopoly on creatures.

the only problem with that thinking, is mereike does not cause a comes into play effect, so it doesnt trigger the intruder alarm

But the creatures my opponents play do trigger Intruder Alarm.  Then I steal them.

I understand what you are trying to do but it is really weak.  you are relying on another creature entering the battlefield to destroy a creature and you have no way of controling if you can keep a creature since the alarm is not an option, for example you can take your opponents emrukel but then they play a raging goblin and you lose it.

Even if you lose the Emrakul, they still don't have any creatures. 

I just posted this because it's a combo.  I never said it was the best one.
