I don't think you messed up. The reference in the tweet of passing to the left and right is clearly drafting. I suppose it is more cryptic info on how conspiracy is drafted due to specific cards.

Quote from Sayoko Oblivion

The second tweet is clearly in reference to drafting - "The passing of things, usually to the left but occasionally to the right." Packs being passed left, then right, then left?

Oh yeah lol I guess I was just assuming it would be a card I didn't think about how the tweets might apply to magic

oh, the twitter account name 'elavals' translates into 'vividly' via google translate, not sure if that means anything.

That QR code was subject to the tutti frutti effect.

The avatar on that twitter page looks like a zoomed in section of some art. Maybe Dack Fayden?

So I put the twitter account name through the same decryption as the article:
Elavals -> OITPTIM

So no dice there

Maybe it isn't encrypted but an anagram?

The profile image looks like it's either from the Dack print or is from art of a another card featuring Dack.

Well this was a let down.

Well, if you rearrange the letters in that username you get "Slave la" which given the theme of the set, might have something to do with it.

The plot thickens.

I've opened the picture from this https://twitter.com/Elavals/status/456584276574625793 in Winrar and found a text file inside it

Also here's the text file https://www.dropbox.com/s/ho9y4u7w5af14sk/001 0010 1011 0000 0110 111 001 111 101 001 001 010 1010 1000 11 0000 0000 1101.rtf

Edit: name of the file "001 0010 1011 0000 0110 111 001 111 101 001 001 010 1010 1000 11 0000 0000 1101.rtf"

The last line says "Secrets, like coins, are easy to steal."

Not sure what the other ones say though.

Hmmm steganography - if this is correct the NSA servers have probably already decrypted it

How you people are finding these things is beyond my ability, but its awesome.

This set is basically the definition of "The plot thickens"

Someone spoiling only half of a card seems really hilarious, and it looks like Magic spoiler did just that.

Quote from Lord-of-Tresserhorn

So, Dack 100% confirmed, Dack is golden, and U, and therefore probably UR, and has at least one +1...

Second one is a -2 or -3 most likely

If those numbers are Morse code (0=. 1=-), it results in "UQKIKUIPXRGRHLVGCAHMIUT". Unsure if relevant...

EDIT: Noticed the filename had different numbers though it began with the same sequence. Filename would be "UFYHPOUOKUURCBMHHQ"

EDIT2: Filename decodes to "OKAYWHEREDOWESTART" (article password).

Great work!

So far we have "OKAYWHEREDOWESTART" and "Secrets, like coins, are easy to steal" and a fragment of the Dack Fayden card.

Now seriously, where do we start to find the other fragments?

Maybe the coins mention has something to do with the new silver jace coins? any wizards empolyees tweet/post a picture of one recently?

The "Secrets, like coins..." sounds like flavor text to me.

While it's probably UR, we can eliminate the possibility of any color combination other than UB or UR. Three color has gold where that blue is, and GU or WU would have white or green on the left, while this is clearly blue on the left.
