Nyxathid 1BB

As ~ comes into play, choose an opponent.
~ gets -1/-1 for each card in the chosen player's hand.

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.)
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.

For some reason my eyes are leading me to believe that the U symbols are making up letters...but I honestly just woke up, so it could just be that my eyes haven't adjusted yet

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

If this is correct, the ability is characteristic setting - it works as is. Nyxathid will change size as your opponent loses or gains cards in hand.

I think definitely the line shows a pattern exists, but don't get caught up on it going from the top-right because on my browser it is coming from top-left.
I took a look at it again, and I'm still seeing patterns jump out at me with the Island mana symbols, but it almost looks like mirror-writing, but I had to ask myself if fnord would really make it THAT difficult to read?
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
-_- And people still Ignore the previous posts on it being solved. Knew the riddle things would be bad idea.
On the supposive spoiled card: Its too MEH. Its only good if your playing against someone that dumps there hand quickly. Outside of that It is just bad.

It hasn't been solved. That unconfirmed info from another sight. Once Fnord posts and says that accurate, we can stop trying to solve it, otherwise its still on.

Im gonna believe the unofficial info for now and say that I really like it. Great addition to Blightning.dec. Im sure it will turn out to be something completely different. A man can dream though. A man can dream. /farnsworth

It's fine, but it's probably a rare, which sucks. But honestly, it's not going to die because they have 7 cards in their hand, but it could very well be a 4/4+ for 3cc quite often, even against decks that pack a lot of cards. This is assuming you play SOME discard.
Even so, I imagine he's not good enough for this format, where we get consistent 4/4s for 3cc.
If this is the Elemental, what is Thornling? A Fungus I'd wager.

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

There are 6 symbols.
The last block is only 10 symbols long.
