The following is not the mana cost of any Magic card in Conflux.

EDIT:

The puzzle remains unsolved, but the card is now known.

Spoiler:

I will not reveal the puzzle's secret for now, so that those who want to try to be the first to solve it can do so. If it remains unsolved, I may reveal it or use the same puzzle for a future card. If they so desire, the mods can move discussion of the card or discussion of the puzzle to a separate thread.

(Note: There are no spaces or lines in the puzzle. It's just a string of mana symbols.)

Coming from Fnord I'd sooner think this is some bizarre riddle then spam... but still... jeeze that's a lot of mana

Sir McHalls · 01-09-2009, 04:33 PM

OMG!

My eyes are bleeding. And this is an eye creature I think.

What is that topic name, some sort of Eldrich Horror?

manudosde · 01-09-2009, 04:34 PM

I wonder if the diagonal line we can see towards the right is related to the solution

Username9001 · 01-09-2009, 04:35 PM

Only 2 things that I can point out is the diagonal line going from top-right and the fact that the 2nd last line doesn't have any snow symbol.

Pseudotropheus · 01-09-2009, 04:36 PM

There are spaces here and there, and he's using 6 symbols. Some of the "blocks" of symbols(by block, I mean "one sequence of symbols divided from another sequence by a space") are OVER 26 symbols long. So this is no simple alphanumeric puzzle.

greymon90210 · 01-09-2009, 04:37 PM

For some reason my eyes are leading me to believe that the

symbols are making up letters...but I honestly just woke up, so it could just be that my eyes haven't adjusted yet

There it is without mana tags. I'm guessing another cypher, given the spaces.

That was my fist thought as well, but I can't make out anything.

I didn't just wake up, but I can kinda see it too...I tried outlining it in paint, but it feels like we're missing something...maybe it's something beyond just the blue symbols.

Xctu · 01-09-2009, 04:39 PM

acording to the spanish website Magic Rebellion Nyxathid is

1

Creature - Elemental
When Nyxathid comes into play, choose an opponent.
Nyxathid gets -1/-1 (not specified if its counters or until EOT) for each card in that player's hand.
7/7

lewk · 01-09-2009, 04:39 PM

It's not a Magic Eye as far as I can tell.

I sure hope it's a good card with this puzzle.

.mtz · 01-09-2009, 04:42 PM

I'm thinking about this can match to some game where

could mean 2r g 2b...or maybe this could be a color code for some existant game too...
