As soon as I seen this spoiler, my mind immediately went to brewing a Modern Format use for it. Without knowing what the rest of Kaladesh is going to look like, in terms of targets for this card, I quickly put this deck together in my head. I know it can be improved upon vastly, but I think this card has good potential in an eternal format somewhere.
Wizards just posted on Twitter asking if we could help summon the Geist of Saint traft
Indeed. Two posts. First (accompanied by the original art for Geist of Saint Traft):
"Can anybody help us summon this Geist? Even a fraction of his power could be a huge help right now!"
Then later:
"The power of Saint Traft surrounds us and abides in us all. Your invocation is working!"
Relevance?
They mention "power" could have something to do with the 2 in his power?
It is currently shaping up that the sum of the numbers represent the order in which they are placed.
As far as what the actual numbers of the positions mean, I am still working on.
I'm not sure if the Tamiyo's Journal entry has anything to do with it, but it is still interesting that the numbers of the journal entries vary so much.

Just food for thought at this point.
