Each player discards their hand and draws cards equal to the greatest number discarded this way.
Cipher (Then you may exile this spell card encoded on a creature you control. Whenever that creature deals combat damage to a player, its controller may cast a copy of this card without paying its mana cost.)
First impression for me is that cipher will be exemely powerful for control... Wow.
Thanks for the pic mods.

I use the Duels Of The Planeswalkers layout, though I'm right-handed and keep my deck and GY to the left. I dare you to ask me how tempting it is to hold flying creatures in a floating pattern over the table.
Holy crap this is crazy. I am really looking forward to the mono-colored versions so I can throw them onto unblockable / hexproof creatures (in EDH). This is my new favorite mechanic of the set. Wow
Cipher is really good...epic card. Only bummer is it requires combat damage...hopefully Dimir will have some sneaky unblockable stuff. But maybe Invisible Stalker will have to do.

That's a good mechanic. It's a lot better than the other ones, that's for sure. The one thing that doesn't make sense is that there is no cost to exile it...it seems. Which is kind of lame.
Interesting... combat damage being needed makes me a little sad, but if you can jam your guys through, your golden. Very cool... keyword is nice... and card is solid.
EDIT: Mechanic is so awesome(: I've got some decisions to make come pre-release day, and Dimir is looking awesome(:

I am.....impressed? I think? Windfall with the ability for repetition seems kind of amazing. This seems like some serious EDH potential.
