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.
have you contacted their customer support about it? try being proactive with them, you can usually get decent results. did you check your information to make sure you have an accurate address listed with them as well?
at p.viola: no, those were extended art, which is different. they were given out for the UK states/champs last year.
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.
This.
Also Cryptic isn't sooooo hard to find. I pulled so many of them I didn't know what to do with them.
Also, people suggesting Goyf are completely delusional. Not only will it not be standard legal by the time everyone has the foils, but it is a creature, and creatures don't get the textless MPR treatment.
Reflecting Pool, maybe, but that is kind of boring.

people are saying it won't be another black card and some are saying it won't be a creature, so what else could it be? and why couldn't it be the second black card in a row?
last fall's shipment was abnormally late as i recall. wotc's very approximate with their shipments, it might be 3 months, it might be 4, depends on how well their act is together i think.

We had two wraths in a row, so I don't think there is anything against it being black again.
There is more against Cryptic, which has a WALL OF TEXT, and isn't as simple and elegant as Thoughtseize or Wrath/Damnation.

Thoughtseize would be awesome since the original art is pretty bad IMO, also since it's useful in legacy and vintage, so it will be a better promo than wrath or damnation both of which see little play in eternal formats.
It's definitely going to be an instant or sorcery, so no goyf or birds (not that they would do goyf anyways)
Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.
I haven't gotten my stuff from last mailing (still says current)
In hindsight... maybe someone in WOTC is looking out for a poor mtg player like me?

LOL Someone is going to get them and post it before Mr Orange can!!
Maybe not. Might take awhile for them to ship to where ever he lives. I know for a fact me and a buddy of mine both got our shipment of the ***'s at two different days, and he is only like maybe 5 mins away from me. Though, on that Halloween, was sweet because I had 3 ***'s to his 2.

Ooooh I hadn't thought of Bitterblossom. That might just be the winner, and would fit with Evan's claim that it'll be pulling demand. Thoughtseize has kind of seen it's day in the park.

OK, you've got me curious. What's "Goofy?"

I'm thinking that Thoughtseize and Cryptic Command are the most likely foils. Reflecting Pool seems like a longshot because it's a land.

Goyf.
I'm going with Thoughtseize on this one.
Thanks to a_passer_bye for an incredible signature banner!

I live in a blue state now (NV)
I'm hoping for either that or Reflecting Pool.
Mine isn't listed as "sent" yet, which is good because I'm still 4 points short of the foil.
