1) The team color that is displayed near the number of merits/crystals for the blue team is RED.
2) The merits don't stack due to their different expiration time - in the best case one will need at least 50 slots in the inventory to become a herald.
3) I had buffs on me that were not casted by me - like -% damage sources consumed, +% mdef/pdef. They were NOT applied by other players.
4) I was able to use monster cards in SW that I already have in the compendium outside SW.

2) This will be resolved with a zone restart shortly after the current Siege War ends.
3) These were added in a recent patch and are intended.
4) In next patch we will be blocking using cards in pvp zones.
Greetings
