You can find it just beside the DCI Psychatog, also you can find that there will be no more Tokens in the MPR, instead they're sending Textless and "old cards"
Edit: The "old cards" are the "old tokens", since they're not printing them anymore
I don't think textless spells have anything to do with the Core Set... where did you get that from?
Currently we have released 5 textless spells (Terror, Fireball, Oxidize, Reciprocate, and Mana Leak).
With each new block being released, 6 new textless spells will be created.
Looks like there'll be one more textless spell released this block. Also it's interesting to note that there will be 6 textless cards made every block (year) which averaged out to a new one every 2 months.
That figures. Reciprocate has a cheap casting cost and is fairly easy to remember for it to be textless. Hehehe.

My guess is that the sixth textless card each year is going to be gold or artifact, because the announcement refers to the cards as "spells". Then again, that could just be an oversight, and they may sometimes toss a land into that slot. Would be interesting to see some textless nonbasic lands, but perhaps lands aren't distinctive enough to be understood just by their art. Then again, something like Coastal Tower would look nice, and be recognizable.
I can't imagine a textless permanent at the moment, but I do find it interesting that of the five put out, they are each of a different color. So I do wonder what the sixth is.

New Rules come out for 1999 6th Edition... "THEY'RE TURNING MAGIC INTO PORTAL! THE GAME IS RUINED! EVERYONE PETITION AND GET THEM TO CHANGE IT BACK!"
New Rules come out for 2010 Edition... "THEY'RE TURNING MAGIC INTO YU-GI-OH! THE GAME IS RUINED! EVERYONE PETITION AND GET THEM TO CHANGE IT BACK!"
New Rules come out for *Reserved for something in 2020* "THEY'RE TURNING MAGIC INTO *currently "simple" game by the more "skilled" players*! THE GAME IS..." etc.
This should be interesting. Also, I noticed all the textless spells are either instants or sorceries. Do you think there will be textless permanents? Technically, we already have textless basic lands. And I'm not talking about the Unhinged lands.

I don't think textless permanents are that likely - there's a reason none of the first batch have been permanents. But it's not impossible. Still, more likely are gold instants and sorceries. Terminate would be fairly likely.
I'm glad the tokens are leaving. The Textles spells are much better. But why would they cause for white to have Reciprocate?
The 6th one is mostly likey an artifact since theones wehavenow are all from the last 2 blocks and 8th. My Guess is Myr Mindservent.

So far the textless cards have been playable (although recipricate does not see _too_ much play) reprints of standard cards. For the 6th card it seems they will use a multicolored instant or a artifact or land permament. Terminate seems like a good chioce even though it is not type 2. City of brass seems like a good guess execpt that is a rare. Personally I'd love to see a textless winter orb, howling mine or darksteel colossus. Isheron's scepter would actually be my guess for first texless permament, but it seems to me they should have made psychatog texless, since they didn't I actually don't expect to see textless permaments during this cycle of textless spells.

I don't think textless spells have anything to do with the Core Set... where did you get that from?
Wasn't there a quote from WotC about doing spells that were in Standard? I know Recip will be around for awhile but Fireball and Oxidize won't...as has been pointed out numerous times, why textless something that doesn't stay around long? Two arguments:
1. Well, we're going to have 6 each block. They ain't so special now are they?
2. One of the main reasons they printed Oxidize was to solidify Green's new pie restructuring AND because they said since Naturalize would be reprinted that it was okay to have Oxidize in an enviroment where aritfacts ran rampant;so no hope really of Oxidize going 9th.
Still, it'd be great for WotC to have faith in the beginners and print some slightly better quality cards in Core. Being a hardcore MBC fan, I detest White getting such blatant direct removal without a Black equivalent but this wouldn't upset the Balance in White's favor or anything.
Gah...if they were going to do a white removal spell that cost :symw:, there is clearly a much better, more playable card than Reciprocate..one that's actually a staple..
It's cool that they're going to be making a new Textless every 2 months..though I doubt they'll be mailing them that often, we'll just get alot of different ones all at once, probably.
People seem to keep forgetting that the textless spells are INSTANTS and SORCERIES. Not artifacts, enchantments, creatures, or lands. I don't think Isochron Scepter is going to be the sixth textless card this time around. Neither will Deed or Colossus (and they're rare, to boot).
White doesn't seem to have any staples now that they've shifted the colour pie to ungodly lengths. It *used* to be Disenchant, but what have they got to play with now? CoP's? Ok, let's give players five cards then! Healing Salve? Too low-key and not enough impact to warrant a textless card. Looks to me like Reciprocate is going to be the new white "staple" in editions mainly because its ability isn't too uncommon to white's domain (Swords to Plowshares, Second Thoughts...etc)...

for the 6th card, its has to be either a 5 color card or an artifact. MY guess is artifact. But which artifact out there everyone knows about? OOOH maybe its eather vial, that would be some cool art.
If it's a textless card then it'll probably be something very familiar amongst players of all rankings. My guess it'll be a land before an artifact, but if it is indeed an artifact then it'll be something that will most likely find its way into the core set. I'd personally like to see Crucible of Worlds get textless. It'll be a fine reward for the people who helped develop it and made it the tournament star it deserved to be.

I dont know... but the thing its that the link said that there will be 6 Each Block, so they will become more and more common, just like Tokens, I mean they all cost around 2 bucks, and they're easy to find, not like Textless Fireball, I've seen just one yet, and one Oxidize, maybe its just me.

I don't think it says anywhere that a balance of color needs to be maintained with the textless spells. It'll probably balance out over time, but the 6th one could very well just be black.
There will probably not be any permanents. Even the most basic of creatures would still want its creature type and power/toughness printed on the card, and enchantments and artifacts usually do complicated enough things that not as many people remember exactly what they do.
So far, they're some of the simplest cards ever printed (well, other than fireball, which is feeling much better after all the therapy) that do very singleminded things. Kill guys, kill lots of guys and their owner, kill artifacts, extra kill that mean guy who just hit me. Magic cards are a bit homicidal.
But going the wishful thinking route, and going along with the white lacking staple cards, there is a card that is so simple and iconic it would make the perfect textless card. Too bad its rare.
keep in mind that the textless spells are all type 2 legal cards. i read somewhere that they are not going to go beyond that, at least this time around. rares are out of the question too i'm willing to bet.
i would definately think they'd do an Artifact, dispite the fact they've only done spells thusfar. my money would be on Aether Vial if this were the case.
i wonder if the'll ever release them rendomly, like foils are now, or make foil/textless, those would be neet.
actually having them random would be bad as theres alot of cards that are either not worth having as textless or are too complicated in every set, and would cause trouble for limited players so i doubt that part would happen but still, foiled ones, maybe as judge rewards or something would be cool as foil is mostly to make the artwork cooler and these are all artwork.
If it has to follow the 6-card color balance (which it doesn't), my guess would perhaps be Ornithopter. Staple common, sees (or saw) tournament play, has been around since the dawn of time, everyone knows what it is and what it does, no creature type, and it's about as simple as a card can get.

Ornithopter is Uncommon... it was a common only in Antiquities, but beside that...:biggrin3:
I dont really hink they print a textless permanent...
