This thread is for discussion of this week's Feature Article, the Eventide Orb of Insight, which goes live Monday morning on magicthegathering.com.

Status Update: A recent server move meant the Orb was on Seattle time so the data didn't hit it until midnight. I'm now happy to announce the Orb is all set and I'm off to bed. (Have fun!)

I believe that someone recently said that no one derails threads like YMtC. I'll bring this back to the OP's topic.  Your new lands, they are like a fish taco.  Yes, yes, if you did not grow up with them, you may think, "WTH?  Fish?  On a taco?  What's wrong with good old meat that comes into play tapped, or vegetables that deal damage to you when you eat them?"  But then you taste them, these land-tacos, and you savor the juicy fish flesh, warm corn tortilla, and crunchy cabbage, and you think, "I could handle not tapping for colored mana on my opponents turn so long as on turn one I can squeeze a lime onto this fish and get a side of beans."

I started playing with it about an hour ago, before I had seen the announcement.

ouphe turned up 0, and that made me a little bummed.
But then I put in "creature", also got 0, got a bit happy and thought "Take that Legions!"

Alas, it was not meant to be.

Maybe I missed out during the shadowmoor one, but why is a confirmation code necessary?

Wow, got a little mad when I typed in "counter" and then "return" and then "land". lol. Oh well check it again in the morning. Good Luck!

@robot: as for the code its to stop people from running a program that just types in every word or something to that extent...

thats what I figured. But whats wrong with that...

Its like the entire word bank for the set is open and given to us but they want us to spend hours getting it instead of letting a program do it, or even just telling us.

You are supposed to be clever. If a robot did it then it would be used once to get all the answers and then forgotten. They don't want you to know every word. THey want you to guess.
