I just got my MPR cards in the mail today and didn't see a thread for this yet.
The new cards are Mana Tithe and Harmonize. I didn't get a foil so I'm not sure if there's a new one or not.
Do they not send you a little letter with yours?
I always get one with mine. And it tells you what the foil is.
EDIT: Those are some nice-looking promos. Though I must admit I was holding out all hope for a textless Mulldrifter, which I knew could never happen... those are some SWEET looking promos. If T2 unplayable at the moment. Though Harmonize ain't bad.
I'm kind of upset that there aren't any lorwyn/morningtide cards in the mailing so far. I guess the time spiral block had more 'iconic' cards in that they're easier to remember. I suppose that harmonize is a good card to get a textless, i guess.

This is probably the worst signature in the history of signatures.
Sure, stuff like Snapping Drake and Goblin Piker are for limited. But Null isn't even playable against a 5 year old whose hand consists of a 6 of Clubs, Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Chimney Imp, and a very large cumquat.
Looks pretty nice, but as said before I would rather have LRW stuff than PLC. Also, It says I haven't had my set sent yet as of the website earlier today. I just hope I actually get stuff this mailing, I have 4 sets and a Foil coming my way, and I really hope that I got in this mailing.

I think it's more that Lorwyn block is so creature-heavy. Off the top of my head the only good candidate for the textless card treatment (Instant or Sorcery, common or uncommon, played relatively often, sufficiently easy to remember what it does) is Nameless Inversion.
Both, so hot. I'm hoping that some day those will come in my mailbox. I haven't received any cards lately. That Harmonize would go in my Highlander 150, replacing my Foil one. Sigh...
Nice stuff especially Harmonize, that cards pretty much a rare despite being called a shifted uncommon. The art for it is pretty decent but i'm not sure that it's very Harmonic or references the card draw in any way.
Mana Tithe, well it's an okay card to become textless and the art is pretty kick-ass in my opinion.
As for the possibility of Lorwyn block MPR cards, there's really not that many especially considering most of the playable spells are tribal and i'm not sure that textless tribal cards are a great idea. There are also very few non tribal spells which don't have clash or another mechanic like prowl. The only playable ones I can think of are:
-Makeshift Mannequin - probably a bit to complex with the counter thing.
-Ponder - again fairly complex.
Add Morningtide and we get a few more:
-Graceful Reprieve - not really played.
-Disperse - solid bounce plant for 10th.
-Negate - solid counter plant for 10th.
-Shard Volley - not really played.
-Deglamer- not really played but solid naturalize variant.
And that's not a huge list and barely any of them are all that iconic.
That Harmonize is gorgeous! I'll have to try and get a set. The Mana Tithe does seem like an odd choice, but here again, the art's good enough to warrant picking up a set.
Aww crap, I got proved wrong with the speculation. I said they wouldn't do harmonize or else they would have done it by now...
But that mana tithe... That art is truly wonderful, I must have 1. The Harmonize also has pretty good art, but I just can't go past that tithe.. And I might just get my 4th copy! (at last...)

With all, put the same thing except with / in front of what type of tags they are (like [/card]) to close them.

Are either of these cards more complex than Hinder (you can Memory Lapse with that?) or especially Condemn (is it power or toughness?)? I would argue that none of these cards are complex for a player who plays enough to earn them, and your opponents, if they are unsure of a card, should learn to call Judges.
Just a quick question but what's supposed to happen on your Rewards Page when they send you MPR? I ask cause I got no mailing for the last MPR even though I had over 10 points. It was the first time I would have qualified but when I spoke to a representative at Worlds, he said something to the effect of not to worry about it. Now that I have over 20 I really want to make sure I get my stuff. When can I expect stuff to be sent and should that be reflected in my DCI profile + Rewards page?
As for the cards, both look awesome though there are plenty of planeshifted cards I would have preferred to Mana Tithe like Brute Force or Ovinize.

The Ponder is no more complex than some previous cards, but Makeshift Mannequin is very complex involving counters and the creature gaining the skulk ability.
Need to pick up some tithes for my kithkin because nothing says "SCREW YOU!!!!!" better than countering your opponent's turn 4 damnation/wrath while playing a monowhite deck

They really hit it out of the park with these card arts. They're very nice. Playability, though, is slightly lacking. Of course, Damnation is still good, and will be a nice little treat when my rewards come in.

i didn't receive a mailing last go round, though I had the requisite number of events. I talked to customer service about it and was essentially told that since MPR is a free program they have no obligation to deliver in a professional manner.
I some how not digging the text less Harmonize, maybe thats just me.. oh well I still say that both cards have very good pieces of art, the Mana Tithe caught me off guard, I wasn't expecting them to do that one..

Make sure all your details are correct in your DCI profile (especially your address).
Those cards are awesome I actually think Mana Tithe will see play some day in constructed, but unfortunately being the only white card that does anything like it is tough. Maybe it'll reach extended to replace Force Spike, the mana bases are still good enough to make that happen, especially in a straight UW deck.

The new cards are Mana Tithe and Harmonize. I didn't get a foil so I'm not sure if there's a new one or not.
If need be I'll try to get a scan when I go over to my dads this afternoon.
Edit here are the scans:
Also the letter says that Damnation is still the foil for this mailing.
I always get one with mine. And it tells you what the foil is.
EDIT: Those are some nice-looking promos. Though I must admit I was holding out all hope for a textless Mulldrifter, which I knew could never happen... those are some SWEET looking promos. If T2 unplayable at the moment. Though Harmonize ain't bad.

Now it just needs a deck to go into.
