That doesn't mean there's a result for "You have no maximum hand size." What we know for sure is...
no - 1
maximum - 1
size - 1
Considering how few cards actually say, "You have no maximum hand size," I find it more likely that we have a combination of the following:
- A card that adjusts maximum hand size (probably by +/- a number, like Gnat Miser, though possibly based on # of artifacts in play)
- A card that gains abilities or is sacrificed depending on something not being there (if you control no artifacts, if ~ has no -1/-1 counters, etc.)
- Multiple cards that give creatures you control abilities (creatures you control have haste, etc.)
"Hand" shows up quite a few times, and "you" shows up 147 times, so we don't really have to look for special cases involving those words.
Edit: I'm almost certain that "no" will appear on Glimmerpost due to Glimmervoid's wording: "At the beginning of the end step, if you control no artifacts, sacrifice Glimmervoid."
Until now all cards that have "size" and/or "maximum" on the text (Avatar of Me does not count) modify the hand size.
If Glimmerpost end up being a fusion of Glimmervoid and Cloudpost then this hand-size card will be something like Null Profusion
I think Glimmerpost will be legendary and will have Metalcraft (just like Mox Opal), otherwise it will be broken õ.o

If Tel-Jilad Archers is reprinted, that would leave exactly 1 "Archers" left. However, I can't find any recent Magic card that had "Archers" in the name and did not have "Archer" as a creature type, which means it's also likely that only one card accounts for all instances of the above words.
Until now all cards that have "size" and/or "maximum" on the text (Avatar of Me does not count) modify the hand size.
This is very true. My point is that there are many more cards that either adjust the maximum hand size or use the word "no" separately than there are cards that include all three words: no, maximum, and size.
I think Glimmerpost will be legendary
99.99% guaranteed not to be Legendary, as there would be no point in referencing Locus again in the text if you could only ever have 1 Locus in play. A perfect combination of everything Cloudpost and everything Glimmervoid seems to make the most sense, as well as the most balanced card, IE:
Glimmerpost
Land - Locus
Glimmerpost enters the battlefield tapped.
At the beginning of the next end step, if you control no artifacts, sacrifice Glimmerpost.
{T}: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool for each Locus on the battlefield.
So it appears we've got a spot for at least 5 lands, possibly dual lands as per Expansion tradition. Maybe M11-style tap lands for enemy colors? How could we narrow down a search for :symr::symu:, :symw::symb:, :symu::symg:, :symg::symb:, or :symr::symw: duals with identical wording?

We can eliminate the possibility as I believe all the instances of basic land types are accounted for by the lands themselves and Koth. That said, there will probably be duals of some kind, just not like the current core set ones. There's a lot of instances of metalcraft, maybe lands that tap for one color and 2 more colors if you have 3 artifacts?

M11-style taplands wouls require the orb to show more than 8 results for each basic land, as these taplands say "enters the battlefield tapped unless you control a [basic land 1] or a [basic land 2]" so don't expect them to appear

If it were M11-style lands, I would expect them to simply state that they ETB tapped unless you control an artifact.
That's... actually fairly balanced. ETB tapped unless you control an artifact, tap for one mana of either color, probably all ally colors. Seems reasonable to me, but all of those words are fairly common in the orb so there's no way to check it.
Cannot be Mind Shatter, as "random" does not appear in the Orb. I could not find any other cards with "Mind" in the name that might be a reprint. We're most likely looking at Shatter returning, as well as some other card on which I cannot even begin to speculate except that it's most likely blue... or maybe black.
If you type any single word (Orb's definition of "word" is any string of characters that does not include spaces) into the Orb, it will tell you exactly how many times that "word" appears total on all 249 cards in Scars of Mirrodin.
As an example, if we were to search for "Phage," "the," and "Untouchable," and received the following results:
Phage - 1
the - 1
Untouchable - 1
then we could be fairly certain that Phage the Untouchable was in the set.
I opened one last year, got two crap worldwake packs and 8x scathe zombies, which I promptly hid around my sister's apartment for her roommates to find. But, yeah, it was a piece of crap.
You, sir, have just won the internet. Congratulations.
Imprint hits for 5. Most likely, that takes up 10 spots for exile.
Clone shell uses only one instance of exile (and one of exiled), so it's gonna take up 9 spots at the most.

Glimmerpost is probably Land-Locus and has a reference to locus in its rules text. Curious to see what it will be.
Until now all cards that have "size" and/or "maximum" on the text (Avatar of Me does not count) modify the hand size.

We're not getting the 5 opening hand cards we're due for by next year in this set.
EDH:
[Competitive] Azusa, Lost but Seeking (54 Lands)
[Competitive] Azami, Lady of Scrolls (Time Warp combo/control)
[Competitive] Kruphix, God of No (True EDH DrawGo)
The orb can only search for exactly one word at a time. However, in case you were wondering...
"opening" - 0

Yay! I love Clerics. Can't wait to see how ☺☺☺☺ty these ones are
I hate when people change their avatar's. That's how I identify most people, not by names.

Someone in this thread did it earlier. 90% sure that Bloodshot Trainee is going to be reprinted.

Really, that's it. That means that either it's a tangle masticore, it has a name that appears more than once. Don't know how much this helps.
