The End of an Era

    I'm picturing something like:

    Spellname - XYZ
    Sorcery - Epic
    Spellname (does something fabulous).
    Until the end of the game, you can't play Epic cards.

    Perhaps not "you can't play" - perhaps "reveal your hand and discard all Epic cards," etc. But some sort of limitation on their being played once you've played one.

    And in the same post as me ribbing on the general IQ of the Rumor Mill lately, to boot. Let's all take a minute to savor that bit of poetic irony. Heh. :biggrin3:
    I personally enjoyed the irony, and chose to assume that you did it on purpose :grin2:

    Well, with Epic only having a single entry in the Orb, I'm thinking that's part of a card name.
    "Epic" is in the Orb 10 times, not 1. Sounds Beacon-esque to me.

    Wisdom, on the otherhand, has the perfect number for a cycle. Either a cycle of two cards per color, or one card with wisdom mentioned twice per color. Either way, I think we can be sure that Wisdom is a keyworded mechanic.
    I believe you may have "epic" confused with "wisdom," and vice versa.

    However, for the word attackers, I had come up with the phrase, "this cost is paid as attackers are declared." There just-so-happens to be 1 instance of declared. Think Ghostly Prison.
    There is 1 instance of "blockers" too, so we can go with "...as attackers or blockers are declared." Smile

    k-dogg, I tried to incorporate most of the stuff from this thread into a script which will run the orb results against the spoiler and show us what we have left to find.

    Since I first started compiling orb results from "the site which shall not be named" I may not have gotten everything from here, but did what I could.

    If the hypothesis about 5633 words total in the Orb is right, then we have 478 left to go by my count.

    If the story followed the mechanic, there is a much greater White or Black feel to Kataki than Red.
    My money's on white.

    See the five preview pics at http://www.wizards.com/magic/displayexpansion.asp?set=sok&page=2&lang=en - they look to be in WUBRG order, which would make Kataki white.
