Wizards just posted on Twitter asking if we could help summon the Geist of Saint traft
Indeed. Two posts. First (accompanied by the original art for Geist of Saint Traft):
"Can anybody help us summon this Geist? Even a fraction of his power could be a huge help right now!"
Then later:
"The power of Saint Traft surrounds us and abides in us all. Your invocation is working!"
Relevance?
They mention "power" could have something to do with the 2 in his power?
As someone noticed on twitter maybe we should measure the angles of the criptolyts.
For now we had stuck to the idea of a clock, I think we should explore more possibilities.

What's really confusing though is the fact that they have this idea and the clock idea both pinned.
I think we can rule out Tamiyo's journal right now
I think I've got the answer
Nahiri, the Harbinger. If you add up all the numbers it equals 247. 247 is Nahiri's Card Number. It's an answer that gets past all language barriers so you don't need to work with English or Russian or whatever
I wrote a little program to simulate what would come out if I took all the angles of each poster and drew lines according to them.
Attached is what came out. I think it definitely looks interesting. I will have to try different combinations too, to see if something more useful can be made of those. But I thought maybe this is of any help.
EDIT: Pointy ends are the start, round ends are the end, everything else is just a joint
Why would they continue to push this puzzle and for people to figure it out when nahiri has already been spoiled? Doesn't make sense.
I believe the reward for the solution was concept art, not a card. I could imagine there being some important piece of concept art involving Nahiri.

They didn't care that he was the savior of Fort Keff, the great hunter of Ondu, the champion of Kabira. To them, he was just another piece of flesh, a thing with life to be drained away.
Cracking the code doesn't necessarily mean we'll get to see Nahiri. It just means we've fulfilled the task and can unlock whatever reward WotC care to bestow.
Interestingly, with regard to the MAYHEM solution, if you factor out the 26s from the total (247) you get 13. M. Then the columns give the AYHE that Child of Alara shared. Is it as simple as sticking the letter for the total on front and back and getting MAYHEM? It goes with Madness at least, so might be worth a crack at submitting (I'm a non-twitterer myself) as an alternative.

except the clues are supposed to give us 4 cards that still haven't be spoiled
forget this, just read above that we are getting concept art as reward. meh

Oh, it's just concept art of the art on the cards... but we did get a couple new cards as well. I love the art on Nahiri's Machinations. So Nahiri is personally leading a rebellion or something? Cult members? They do have the Innsmouth look. Nahiri actively leading the (Skirsdag?) cultists with their sacrifices feels strange.

One of those cultists has the three-hooked ring insignia on him - I'd say they're sea-god cultists. Still yet to see exactly what she, er, harbinges...
they are learning tho. remember the posters at game day during theros block? you were supposed to decipher them on the spot, except photos started popping out around the web days earlier and it was deciphered by the community online in advance. this time, knowing that would happen, they used it as part of it, encouraging people to share photos form around the world and to work together online to decipher it. and it worked well.
next step, use this kind of gimmick to spoil something cool.
the whole thing we the title of the new conspiracy set was pretty good too

No it wasnt. We called it Conspiracy 2 before it was a real thing, we called it Conspiracy 2 when. It was first announced. And we call it Conspiracy 2 now. Wtf is called now? Nobody knows. But no cards were spoiled and no stories were advance and it was stupid.
If you're going to have a big elaborate world wide puzzle, just to spoil two uncommons, you are an idiot plain and simple. That is stupid. This b would have been great b if they didn'to pass out the Nahiri spoiler a week ago... but they did
lots of people found it amusing and said it was the best marketing thing they've done.
as for the puzzle I agree, they should have had a big spoiler to go with it.

The remaining posters are up
Chinese Simplified: 1,3,4,9 = Total: 17
Chinese Traditional: 1,4,11,8 = 24
French: 2,5,10,1 = 18
Korean: 11,3,5,9 = 28
Again, none of the totals are repetitions of previous totals.
