Orb of Insight:
Updated 4/11/07
Here’s something fun, I’m spoiling the whole set right now. Yep, like Wizards of the Coast’s release previews, I am presenting an “Orb of Insight” which tells you how many times a particular word appears in the set. But unlike Wizards of the Coast, I’ve done all the hard work for you, listing all the words in the set* so you don’t even need to waste time and can get right down to speculating. For example, the word “Land” appears 42 times in Conquest. Now, the usual Orb rules apply. “First strike” would come up zero times, but “first” comes up 4 times and “strike” comes up 5 times. I’ve also included every mana cost and power/toughness in the set.
But enough of this. On to the words! Please feel free to speculate on the set Here.
* The following words were omitted because they are either compound words I made up in the grand Magic tradition, or they are the names or proper persons, places or things that I made up. Made up words have little chance of being found in an Orb of Insight.
