A source who wishes not to be named has provided us with a new card from Innistrad, on the condition that we present it first in the form of a puzzle for you all to guess at.
I'll be checking on the thread throughout the day to update portions that have been correctly guessed. The whole card will be revealed by the end of the day whether the puzzle has been completed or not.
Here goes:
A Haiku for Smmenen
Muted Masonry (Equally Scant And Continuous)
Much Maligned Paleness
Mirrors the Stave; As Others,
Power Mechas Snag.
Edit: You guys guessed what it does, here's the card:
Silence of Stone1W
Enchantment (R)
Artifact abilities cannot be activated.
Illus. Wayne England
36/264
U// Sedris and the Traitor Kings U// G Seshiro, the Appointed G B// Vaevictus Asmadi - "I'm 'exy and I know it" B// W// Treva, The Renewerer W// B/ Rakdos, Lord of Grouphate B/ W//// Cromat the Charmer W////

Muted Masonry Scant and Continuous,Hmmm hard to make anything out of this but it does seem like its a wall of some kind and also a spirit.
Mirrors the Stave; As Others. Hmmm there's 3 staves in Magic Staff of Domination, Staff of Ages and Staff of Zegron. Not sure if that's what he's hinting here too.
Power Mechas Snag. The only mecha I'm aware of in Magic is Power Armor.
Staff of Ages stops landwalk and power armor is a domain spell, maybe the card messes with basic land types?
This is assuming its a logic puzzle rather than a puzzle based on the letters in the haiku.

Wit's End is the PERFECT answer to your opponent's Monomania however.
Just hold on to your Wit's End when they Monomania, so you can Wit's End them on your next turn!!!
I think this is fairly reminiscent of the "Jace Battles" we have seen in past standards.. My guess is we will soon witness the great Monomania-Wit's End battles.
(Equally Scant And Continuous) -----> Defender and 0 power??
Much Maligned Paleness -----> Artifact/Colorless??
Mirrors the Stave; As Others, ----> (Edit: Wait, the Stave. Hm..sounds like a functional reprint of some old card, in that case)
Power Mechas Snag. -----> (Sounds like it either steals artifacts or destroys or impedes them in some way)
This one is tough. Seems odd for a card that interacts with artifacts in some meaningful way to be in this set, but it is right after Mirrodin, so I guess Wizards could throw a bone out like that.

R Citizen Cane (Feldon of the Third Path)
Continuous = a permanent?
Masonry/Mechas = artifact
Power = that artifact is alive?
Edit:
Because it's a Haiku, are the numbers 5 and 7 relevent?
CMC 5 for a 7/5? CMC 7 for a 5/5?

Im betting its an artifact
There's 10 staves.
Mutated Masonry = Transmute artifact?
Transmute artifact is on the reserve list, so I'm guessing a variant of it.
[[b]B]DCI Level 2 Judge[/B][/b]Stave Off is a white card, which could be described as pale, mirrored in the color of this card.
As others, power mechas snag.
This is a card that makes you want to avoid artifacts, which would let others snag them? Or maybe it's a white piece of artifact hate.
Power Mechas Snag: Hexproof?
Premise II: "Power {tends to} Corrupt" ~ Baron Acton, 1887
Conclusion: "Knowledge Corrupts"
Yep, I think we have all of our Mythics as of today. I could be wrong though.
Invasion of the Body snatchers-esque
Dingus Staff
Proteus Staff
Sylvok Lifestaff (which i guessed)
Voyager Staff
Muted Masonry (Equally Scant And Continuous)
Muted Masonry is an Artifact, or something white. Possible the inside of a chuch?
Scant being rare.
Continuous being the end of turn effects.
Much Maligned Paleness
A White (Paleness) Unhinged (Maligned) card
Mirrors the Stave;
No idea. Perhaps it is an equipment, as Wooden Stake is an equipment and could be called a stave?
As Others, Power Mechas Snag.
Power Armor's Snag is that it only lasts until end of turn. The same snag is on a lot of other cards.

Or it could be..."powers mechas"....A CONTRAPTION
