MTG Salvation

Crescent Moon seems a likely combination (it's in Konda's Banner after all)

'Ebony' and 'ivory' will likely combine with 'netsuke'

They're not stupid enough to make the spoiler publicly accessible just yet. The flash file is querying a server-side script which is reading from the spoiler. There's no way to get the spoiler without hacking into their systems.

Nice try though

but it might be useful to make querying faster...

You could automate this behavior with a script, or just view as HTML:

<form action="[url="http://www.wizards.com/magic/OrbData_Saviors.asp"]http://www.wizards.com/magic/OrbData_Saviors.asp[/url]" method="post">

Not just that. In the books, there is a character named Mochi, aka the Kami of the Crescent Moon. I know the name "Mochi" does not appear, but I think he's known simply as "Kami of the Crescent Moon". And that's imho.

don't see this on the list...

returned = 4

seed - 1

Went through the stories on the Champions and Betrayers websites from mtg.com to search for character names/places. Only found one we didn't already have:

Hideaki - 3

Its a character from the Brothers Yamazaki story. Probably a red legend.

and 'Nder' - 0

The Orb doesn't pick up random parts of words; there's a card with 'Under,' a card with 'Sunder,' and one or two cards with 'Asunder.'

unblocked - 1

add - 10

shouldn't 'moonfolk' be under creature type and not card names/misc?

I noticed that when trying ´michi´ and ´michiko´. That´s exactly what I want we to guess: which cards can have those 4 instances?

Plow Under, ok.
Sunder, ok.
(awesome reprints, if true)
But Asunder x2?

Size-4

Probably in reference to hand size

Quote from Jedit »

Indeed. Why on earth would we want to have access to a powerful, well costed card that was rendered unplayable by the biggest ever ****-up in Magic history? Why would we want any card that isn't as broken as Affinity?

Come to think of it Plow Under is one of the unluckiest good cards in the history of magic. It was overshadowed by Wizards' two biggest overpowered mistakes: Urza's Block and Affinity.
