Default [PC] Orb of Insight Results (Main thread)

Here are the orb results from my automated script. The usual caveats about words that have never appeared in Magic and aren't found in the dictionary apply. They obfuscated the URL this time so I couldn't get it until they actually put it up.

For the curious, the backend URL this time is http://www.wizards.com/magic/OrbData...fhzv6xfx7a.asp.

First batch of results using only words already used in Magic:

Thanks for the hard work Xyl bro, we'll keep this as the main Orb thread from now on.

I'll go close down the other one before peeps get too carried away.

Threads merged.

Please refer to Xyl's results on post 24 before adding anymore info to this thread.

If it isn't there, then let us know about it.

Anyone who continues to repeat information already covered in Xyl's comprehensive list will recieve an infraction/warning for spam from now on.

m = 7
Why does m get 7 hits?

"m" stands for multicolor I do believe. Also I find it very funny that my "13" post got deleted, but not the one after. Oh well.

edit: Big thank Xyl, you're awesome.

Don't take it personally Ranma bro, just a little tidy up until Sed's can organize things better for us all.

Remember to check your findings against Xyl's results. If it has been on a previous MTG card (ANY card) we already have it. So no more: 'a' 'the' or 'mana' please.

I think Pirate Charm accounts for the islandwalk.

From Xyl's post:
Cradle, Coffers, Bazaar, Tabernacle = 1.
That looks like the magus cycle to me, although the only relevant red choice I can find is Hammerheim, though...

20 gets one hit. That should be an interesting card.

Some interesting highlights, in my opinion:

-Notable additions are Gossamer (2 hits, relating to Gossamer Chains), Warden (1 hit; Soul Warden?), and Venarian (1 hits, relating to Venarian Gold)

-Anthem has 1 hit...Glorious Anthem shift?

-Serendib has 2 hits. Remember Serendib Efreet? Planeshifting may have another ace up its sleeve.

-Shapeshifter appears 5 times...a cycle of Shapeshifters, or a new...oh geez...Morphling?

-Citanul has 2 hits...perhaps Citanul Centaurs?

-On the same note, Frenetic has 1 hit. Frenetic Efreet was fun!

-Boa has 2 hits...shifted River Boa?

-Serra has 1 hit. Avatar has 1 hit.

-Tithe has 1 hit. Oh boy...

-Groundbreaker appears one. SEE: Mishra's Groundbreaker.

-Enchantress has 1 hit.

-Hellion has 4 hits. Crater Hellion?

-Lhurgoyf has 1 hit.

-Mesa has 1 hit...Sacred Mesa or Wintermoon Mesa?

-Null has 1 hit...can be alluding to Null Brooch or Null Rod.

-Prodigal has 2 hits...Tim is back?!

-Mantle has 1 hit...Farrel's Mantle?

-Lion has 2 hits.

-Braids, Akroma, Crovax, Mirri, Yawgmoth, and Jedit all appear.

--Coffers, Tabernacle, Hammerheim, Arena, and Cradle can be referring to a new Magus cycle. Bazaar also appears, and it can easily take the place of Arena, since it was already shifted into TS block.

Hope you enjoyed this!

Not in this case I think. I'm pretty sure they're from artist names (at least 4 are for Thomas M. Baxa)

What about 'swampwalk=1' Possibly a green boa, but 'shifted' to hate black instead of blue?

You're right, there's at least 11 gold cards. It looks like we have enemy colored slivers. At least that is my speculation.

Also it's Piracy Charm.
