According to here the Mirrodin Besieged Orb of insight is coming out on Wednesday so lets be prepared for it
I copied this from previous Orb of Insight posts.
I will be updating this post with the results as you guys post them
On Notations
A result annotated as "X/Y" indicates that of the Y total instances of that word returned by the Orb, X are used in that specific section. This will typically happen with artist names (particularly "Warren") and creature types (particularly "Angel" and "Dragon").

Here is the Orb faq (thanks to Guinea Pig)
Orb FAQ: What does the Orb of Insight count?
The Orb of Insight counts all occurences of a single word in the name(s), mana cost(s), typeline(s), rule text(s), reminder text(s), artist name, and power/toughness of all cards in a given set. It counts mana costs such as 3W and power/toughness combinations such as 2/1 as single words.
The Orb of Insight does not count words found in the flavor texts of cards unless it is somehow broken. That has only been the case once so far.
What is this special code thing?
You must type in the special code you see at the bottom of the Orb to verify that you are an actual human being rather than an automatized process designed to check every word. If you don't see a special code, then something is wrong with the Orb. Check back later.
Does capitalization matter?
No. It matters neither in the search word nor in the special code.
If I get a result of 6 for Dragon, or 15 for Sliver, does that mean there are 6 Dragon/15 Sliver cards in the set?
In all likelihood, no. The orb counts occurences, not cards. A card named "Fiery Dragon" with type "Creature - Dragon" and rules text "Flying; R: Fiery Dragon gets +1/+0 until end of turn" would contribute 3 occurences of the word Dragon. Likewise, Sliver cards usually use the word Sliver at least three times per card (Name, Type, Ability).
I don't get results for searches like "Counter target spell". Why?
The orb does not search phrases, only single words.
I'm getting 1 result for Mountainwalk, but 0 results for walk. Why?
The Orb only counts whole words, not partial words. Likewise, plurals and singulars are different words. If you get 10 results for Goblin and 1 result for Goblins, the former does not include the latter.
There don't seem to be any results for can't, creature's, etc...
The Orb usually has a problem with the apostrophe normally found on keyboards. Copy this->’<-apostrophe and use it in your words. That should do it.
There don't seem to be any results for non-creature, non-land, etc...
For colors, types, and supertypes, you omit the hyphen from the word (noncreature, nonland). You only use the hyphen for subtypes (non-Goblin, non-Lair).
There don't seem to be any results for certain mana costs, such as B3 or GR...
The mana costs follow a strict pattern. The generic cost is always listed first, and X is listed before numbers. For colored mana, the pattern is:
2 colors
WU - UB - BR - RG - GW
UR - WB - BG - RW - GU
How can I search for words that include non-english letters such as ä, ö, ü, or Æ?
Unfortunately, you can't with the current version of the Orb.
How can I find certain symbols such as hybrid mana?
Hybrid mana is C/D, where C is the first color of mana, and D is the second, such as W/U.
Snow mana is S. The untap symbol is Q.
Loyalty symbols for Planeswalker abilities are +N or -N, where N is any number or X.
I'm getting a strange result...
It's likely from an artist name.
... Boros
Zoltan Boros, artist.
... D as single word
D. Alexander Gregory, artist.
... E or M as single words
E. M. Gist, Scott M Fischer, and Thomas M. Baxa, artists.
... Mark as single word
Several artists (Mark Brill, Mark Tedin, Mark Zug). Occasionally a card name.
... rk or post as single word
rk post, artist.
S or Waters as single words
Anthony S Waters, artist. Unless there are many instances of S, then it might be the Snow mana symbol.
... Rush as single word
Christopher Rush, artist. Occasionally a card name.
... Seagrave as single word
Dan Seagrave, artist.
... Walker as single word
Kev Walker, artist. Rarely, there might be a card with Walker in its name.
There seem to be a lot of occurences of certain words...
They're probably normal, and you might be missing another word that usually goes with those words, such as "remove" for "game," or "turn" for "end." On the other hand, you might just have found the name of or a hint to a mechanic!
Also, in a large set, there is a full complement of 20 basic lands, four for each color. Each basic land version provides two instances of the land's name, for a total of 8.
I'm not altogether certain that ralphy99 from RarityGuide has an inside line on the posting of the Orb of Insight but Wednesday is most certainly in line with previous time lines.
Very smart of you doklok to repost the Orb FAQs - just wondering how many members have (or will) read it.
You hadn't seen the thread go up yet because the orb hasn't gone up yet. This is useless for now; if you actually thought it was going up Wednesday, you could at least wait till the day before. Some random guy on the internet saying "I heard it goes up Wednesday" is not the same as, well, it actually going up on Wednesday. Yes, it going up on Wednesday is what we would expect based on our pre-SOM experience; however, if we go by SOM, it won't be up till next Wednesday. It's unclear exactly how this information should be weighted so it's not so easy to tell (though I personally would bet on next Wednesday).
Now if you do actually intend to do this yourself, you should probably contact Solmancer and get ahold of his list-of-good-words to check. I think it's still being refined but it should still be quite useful.
Hey if you want to do the data slog, be my guest. I was going to be at work until 9:30pm (PST) at the earliest tomorrow night, so the Orb threads would've been early or late, depending. Since you beat me to it, I don't mind at all if you actually do it. If you really want to, I'll send my template over in PM, or you can check the last Orb thread for the fun list if you're bored and want to get rid of all the numbers and set-specific stuff.
I will say this, though, I'm not convinced the Orb goes up tomorrow night. It's turning into a game with WotC I think, since, if I recall correctly, Scars went up during week one of previews when we thought it would be the week before.
This is from past orbs but in the first hours of going live its all zero's, also could someone check the past previous orbs with MBS words to see if there loaded.

Thanks to PurpleD from Left Play Designs for the banner:D
My PM attempt was a disaster (I forget how to supress tag parsing so that spoiler tags don't actually become spoiler blocks), so have an archive.
It contains what I use for both the data thread and the jabber thread. Knock yourselves out. I recommend changing the Scars of Mirrodin references to something set appropriate. It's not a generic template. I'm lazy about that.
Reminder that http://ark42.com/mtg/progs/FastOrb-1.6.3.zip still exists and I'm betting you can just type in mirrodinbesieged (no space) for the Orb ID and it will work whenever the Orb actually goes live.

So, I'm basically a spiteful, snarky bastard with very little good to say. And I really could care less about the Orb. All that said, this is a very cool little tool and I like that you've created and shared it. Well done, good sir.

Something I feel should be mentioned on the first page. The two Orbs are for each affiliation, PLANESWALKERS ARE NOT AFFILIATED, as such they will NOT show up on either orb.

Here is the Orb faq (thanks to Guinea Pig)
What does the Orb of Insight count?
The Orb of Insight counts all occurences of a single word in the name(s), mana cost(s), typeline(s), rule text(s), reminder text(s), artist name, and power/toughness of all cards in a given set. It counts mana costs such as 3W and power/toughness combinations such as 2/1 as single words.
The Orb of Insight does not count words found in the flavor texts of cards unless it is somehow broken. That has only been the case once so far.
What is this special code thing?
You must type in the special code you see at the bottom of the Orb to verify that you are an actual human being rather than an automatized process designed to check every word. If you don't see a special code, then something is wrong with the Orb. Check back later.
Does capitalization matter?
No. It matters neither in the search word nor in the special code.
If I get a result of 6 for Dragon, or 15 for Sliver, does that mean there are 6 Dragon/15 Sliver cards in the set?
In all likelihood, no. The orb counts occurences, not cards. A card named "Fiery Dragon" with type "Creature - Dragon" and rules text "Flying; R: Fiery Dragon gets +1/+0 until end of turn" would contribute 3 occurences of the word Dragon. Likewise, Sliver cards usually use the word Sliver at least three times per card (Name, Type, Ability).
I don't get results for searches like "Counter target spell". Why?
The orb does not search phrases, only single words.
I'm getting 1 result for Mountainwalk, but 0 results for walk. Why?
The Orb only counts whole words, not partial words. Likewise, plurals and singulars are different words. If you get 10 results for Goblin and 1 result for Goblins, the former does not include the latter.
There don't seem to be any results for can't, creature's, etc...
The Orb usually has a problem with the apostrophe normally found on keyboards. Copy this->’<-apostrophe and use it in your words. That should do it.
There don't seem to be any results for non-creature, non-land, etc...
For colors, types, and supertypes, you omit the hyphen from the word (noncreature, nonland). You only use the hyphen for subtypes (non-Goblin, non-Lair).
There don't seem to be any results for certain mana costs, such as B3 or GR...
The mana costs follow a strict pattern. The generic cost is always listed first, and X is listed before numbers. For colored mana, the pattern is:
2 colors
WU - UB - BR - RG - GW
UR - WB - BG - RW - GU
3 colors
WUB - UBR - BRG - RGW - GWU
WBR - URG - BGW - RWU - GUB
4 colors
WUBR - UBRG - BRGW - RGWU - GWUB
5 colors
WUBRG
How can I search for words that include non-english letters such as ä, ö, ü, or Æ?
Unfortunately, you can't with the current version of the Orb.
How can I find certain symbols such as hybrid mana?
Hybrid mana is C/D, where C is the first color of mana, and D is the second, such as W/U.
Snow mana is S. The untap symbol is Q.
Loyalty symbols for Planeswalker abilities are +N or -N, where N is any number or X.
I'm getting a strange result...
It's likely from an artist name.
... Boros
Zoltan Boros, artist.
... D as single word
D. Alexander Gregory, artist.
... E or M as single words
E. M. Gist, Scott M Fischer, and Thomas M. Baxa, artists.
... Mark as single word
Several artists (Mark Brill, Mark Tedin, Mark Zug). Occasionally a card name.
... rk or post as single word
rk post, artist.
S or Waters as single words
Anthony S Waters, artist. Unless there are many instances of S, then it might be the Snow mana symbol.
... Rush as single word
Christopher Rush, artist. Occasionally a card name.
... Seagrave as single word
Dan Seagrave, artist.
... Walker as single word
Kev Walker, artist. Rarely, there might be a card with Walker in its name.
There seem to be a lot of occurences of certain words...
They're probably normal, and you might be missing another word that usually goes with those words, such as "remove" for "game," or "turn" for "end." On the other hand, you might just have found the name of or a hint to a mechanic!
Also, in a large set, there is a full complement of 20 basic lands, four for each color. Each basic land version provides two instances of the land's name, for a total of 8.

Thanks, that would be very useful
Very smart of you doklok to repost the Orb FAQs - just wondering how many members have (or will) read it.

Thanks, I added it to the first post to make sure more people read it
I look for some of the stupidest stuff. It's such a fun program.
Now if you do actually intend to do this yourself, you should probably contact Solmancer and get ahold of his list-of-good-words to check. I think it's still being refined but it should still be quite useful.
(Me, I intend to check P/T modifiers, as usual.
I will say this, though, I'm not convinced the Orb goes up tomorrow night. It's turning into a game with WotC I think, since, if I recall correctly, Scars went up during week one of previews when we thought it would be the week before.

Thanks to PurpleD from Left Play Designs for the banner:D
It contains what I use for both the data thread and the jabber thread. Knock yourselves out. I recommend changing the Scars of Mirrodin references to something set appropriate. It's not a generic template. I'm lazy about that.

Remove a counter from ~this~: Target player cannot win the game this turn.
Ok that's a reach I know
Take a mechanic from the pre-mirrodin era, and a mechanic after the mirrodin era, and create a card that flavorfully melds both mechanics.
So, I'm basically a spiteful, snarky bastard with very little good to say. And I really could care less about the Orb. All that said, this is a very cool little tool and I like that you've created and shared it. Well done, good sir.
got 22 results for "infect"
Thank you!
Not unless you're still using the Orb ID: scarsofmirrodin
good point definitely scars of mirrodin LOL!!! no reading for the excited me.
false alarm sorry
