Orb of Insight

[iamfishman]

I used the Orb Of Insight and came up with the following which begs a few questions listend under my results.  Feel free to do your own searchs and post your findings for much speculation.

Time: 72
Walk: 1
Lightning: 3
Bolt: 2
Ertai: 0
Merfolk: 1
Poison: 0
Angel: 1
Mishra: 1
Urza: 0
Kobolds: 1
Shadow: 28
Sliver: 54
Beeble: 0
Buyback: 7
Teferi: 1
Echo: 13
Flashback: 23
Banding: 0
Viashino: 3
Phyrexian: 3
Tutor: 0
Mox: 0
Circle: 0
Medallion: 0
Gerrard: 0
Kahmal: 0
Suspend: 26
Split: 10
Second: 11
Krosan: 2
Totem: 15
Cycling: 0
Legendary: 20
Morph: 18
Storm: 5
Ancestral: 2
Serra: 2

Thoughts:
1.) 72 instances of time...holy crap...perhaps a cycle or two of time cards, or maybe a mechanic.
2.) No poison counters.
3.) A card with the word Second in its name? What other reason could their be for a dsiparity between the occurances of split and second.
4.) I wonder what the card(s) with Ancestral in their name are.
5.) Lots of Legends!

Tolarian and Academy both get one hit, a foil academy would be very very nice. The single hit for Merfolk really disappoints me though, I was hoping for more. There is a pretty extensive thread about this here: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showthread.php?t=49727 over on mtgsalvation.

Sorry to disappoint you, but Academy is on the Reserved list, so it's not gonna be reprinted. (I'd want a foil academy too  )

Here's a link to the list for your reference.

EDIT: heh... Sorry! Fixed to Reserved List. At least I wasn't wrong though!

It's reserved list, not restricted list.   Although Academy is on that too.

By the way, for the really savvy computer person, if you want to match against every known magic word, you can build a program that will post

sQuery=<word>

to the url: http://www.wizards.com/magic/OrbData_Timespiral.asp

For those people just following that URL, you'll always see nMatches=0, since you didn't post a query to it.

For those who have access to linux, wget has a --post-file=<foo> which you can use to post data to a url.

You know, just for those who want to be brave. You might also try seeing if the information is held in a DB or if its in some text file available on the server. That might take a little more hacking than I have time for though.

ENJOY!

If we get new Richard Kane Ferguson art, I will be ecstatic.

For those of you who haven't been looking at MTGSalvation, the "Academy" card is "Academy Ruins."  Hence, no Tolarian Academy reprint, or so it seems.
