Rumor has it that Mana Leak is lined up for this style also.    Thanks to rancored_elf. |

I have the terror one, It's cute.
Mana Leak would be a weird choice in my opinion, since it specifies an amount that needs to be payed. It's a grey area, to be sure, but Terror, Oxidize and Fireball are so simple, well-known, flavorful, and 'graphic' if you will, that a 'picture' version can convey the card's intent. For some reason, I feel differently about Mana Leak ("Was it 1? Or 2? Or 3?"). Sure, this argument could be applied to any of the above cards too, to some extent, but I still doubt it. I'd sooner see them do something like a textless Couterspell or something. Even though it's not in Standard at the moment. Oh well.

Actually the best cards to make textless are those that have had savage Oracle changes, or those that frequently change. It would be a reminder NOT to RTFC and instead read Oracle.
Of the classic cards, Llanowar Elves should be ahead of crud like Oxidize.
A set of land would be pretty good too. Who needs text on land (aside from Academy)?

Bram: Mana Leak is way simpler than Fireball. "X divided evenly rounded down plus 1 for each additional target beyond the first" is far more complicated than "pay 3".
dandan: Basic lands don't have text as is... which lands were you thinking of?

He's thinking of Portal lands  He probably hasn't even seen another basic land since the portal ones came out! |

See, this is something I can really support, unlike foils. Those are hotttt, much like the Unglued basics. Text boxes are lame. Memorization of all the relevant information is the wave of the future!

That's why they were able to do Balance, right?

Has anyone heard anything about the other four foil vintage promos? The two that I know of are balance and twister, but this is a different promo series, and they are both numbered out of six. So there are four more of the others and three more of these?

I don't remember where I heard that, maybe that is incorrect? There is so little information about the other promos. I am excited about the possibility of another really good card like balance, but I can't find out anything.

Are you talking about the art Windfall got at gencon? Perhaps a rumor was perpetuated off the art he got that there was a card with it. I still encounter people who think Carl actually received an Alternate Art Black Lotus card. |

When we were talking to Forsythe after SCG II, he said you have to run those cards in lots of 5000 at a time. Sorry kids, no Alternate Art Lotuses for you.
