Every 20 sanctioned events you play in, you qualify for one foil textless card. The past ones were Wrath of God and Damnation.
Every 5 sanctioned events you play in, you qualify for one "token set," which is two textless cards (one in the current rotation and one old one). This stacks with the 20. (If you play in 20 events total, you'll get four token sets and one foil.)
Now I'm curious about what I should expect in the mail for my foil textless. With the new style of PRs, I'll be hard-pressed to get another one...dangit, why don't I have more time to attend more sanctioned events?! >.<
I'm going to guess either Birds of Paradise or Goofy, though I'm hoping for the former.
Reasons:
1) it's an iconic card, if you don't know what it does, you should be shot....twice.
2) it has a relatively tame ability which COULD be afforded to be omitted for the sake of textlessness.
3) The fact that it makes rainbow mana means that it's allowed to have super pretty art, probably designed to make use of the foiling process too.

I'm going to lean towards Thoughtseize. just because I can't possibly Imagine having textless foil MPR ancestral visions or cryptic command. DROOLS!!!!

Thoughtseize makes sense.
The foils are usually standard legal...

I haven't gotten a WotC envelope in 2 years despite being at FNM every week and going to PTQs, GPs, Regionals, Prereleases, Release Events, and States at every chance I get. Forgive me for hoping the card is crap so the people I play with can't lord it over me.

2-3 drafts a week other than fnm? those arent sanctioned though are they?

They most likely are if he's using them to get Players rewards.
Anyway, around this time, we always get people popping in going 'zomg next textless foil = biiiiiiirdz!!!!11' Well guess what people? It's not birds. Nor any creature. There are TONS and I mean TONS of cards they could use for type 2 play that they can use and lots of them being noncreatures.
Also, on another note, I wish I could get one in the mail, but alas, no card stores within a reasonable driving distance. I don't want to hop on the speedline to go to a cardstore that will let me play.
It's got to be Thoughtseize. Just makes sense. I have one tourney to go till I get the foil. I thought my Eventide release draft counted, but it never showed on my account. Likely because it was an EVE-EVE-EVE draft and thusly wasn't sanctioned or something. When is the cut off? I'm planning on playing at the Shards pre-release!
I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
I'm almost certain it will be Thoughtseize. Every textless spell so far has been either a sorcery or instant. Also, given the time horizon of the foil program (many month lead time getting art together, etc.) Thoughtseize would have been the most chase card available at the time. Unlike Cryptic, it's simple to remember. I know what Cryptic does, but I can't remember in what order the modes are listed on the card...which can be critical on occasion.

"In another life, in another dream,
By a different name,
Gave it all away for a memory and a quiet lie.
But I felt the face of a cold tonight,
Still don't know the score,
But I know the pain of leaving everything very far behind.
And if I could cry,
And if I could live,
What truth I did then take me there,
Heaven Goodbye."

sorry about the spelling i am the worst speller ever
But I doubt they would do two black cards in a row.
I think Cryptic is a bit too wordy to be a textless card. I can realistically see Birds as the choice, but there's no telling.
