I had the good fortune of going to the Red Sox/Yankees game in Fenway last night. It hurt seeing the Sox lose in extra innings, but there's always a silver lining. That silver lining came in the form of a foul ball that appeared as though it was aimed directly at me. I caught the ball, and to my surprise found a series of poems written on it!
Haikus are much fun
You can hide a CC there
Were you so inclined
What we've got here is
Failure to communicate
Some men you can't reach
Gerbils make good pets
They are small and are furry
They fit in my ass
If you are having
Problems with Eldrazi I
Feel bad for you, son
Booster pack opened
Inside Benjamin is found
Buyer still complains
Luke is a Jedi
The force is strong with this one
Episode 1 sucked
I heart Chaos Lord
Baneslayer Angel is crap
Grozoth is better
#edit:
I do NOT <3 Vizzerdrix. My apologies, I thought the card was better than it is. Haiku has been corrected.
And so it begins!!!

Perhaps a guy with defender with a repeatable ability to make guys loose defender? That's kind of like Grozoth, and would make sense with the wall theme.

This is a quote from the movie 'Cool Hand Luke' said by a character named Luke. No idea if that helps anyone figure this out. Luke is again referenced in a later haiku.

This is clearly the mana cost, it could be:
5+7+5=17 (Unlikely)
5 or 7 (possible)
5+7=12 (possible too)
5XX (quite possible as well)

A wall that starts about the size of vizzerdrix and that, once leveled up, can lose defender and has reach.

For some reason all the references to Luke makes me want to say it has Reach...yes, that's kind of a lame pun though...
Incidently, anyone who would take the name of a Foglio is clearly both twisted and insane. So he is apparently previewing a Maro or Gotlleib card (i.e. one with designs that stretches the boundaries of magic a little, but not *too* much.)
The last bit intrigues me. Obviously the card in question must have something to do with vizzerdrix(maybe 6/6) and Grozoth. If it is a 6/6 flying, than it can take on BSA, which would work with line two. So I'm going with a 7 mana 6/6 flying wall that can lose defender.

Like I spend all this effort to come back in time, but like everyones like "take better pictures" like time travel isnt hard enough.
I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.

Would be what a "wall deck" would need for a finisher...
The last haiku has been updated. I do NOT heart Vizzerdrix, because it's not as good as I thought. I've seen some correct elements, but not enough where I'm willing to edit the original post. A couple things to note:
1. The first thing you learned about word problems in 5th grade is that they ALWAYS have more information than you need.
2. Guns N Roses used a soundbite from Cool Hand Luke in the song Civil War. While people citing both things are technically correct, and while i love GNR, they should not be given credit for writing those words.

Honestly I don't think 80% of this poem has any real clue in it, and I think Claymore has finally snapped.

Gerbil makes me think of Eldrazi Spawn being created.

Accept the truth.

which they ripped off from the book/movie cool hand luke.
