2nd Edition spoiled!!!

[Michael (Arcane Tinmen)]

There has been several guesses as to which cards will be in 2nd Edition and which cards will be out.
Now you can stop guessing - but nothing comes free; you have to work for it :)

We are revealing the contents of the set in a series of word puzzles done by Patrick Miteff.
And we are spicing it up with your chance to WIN a set of 2nd Edition - so get puzzling fast!!

Full story here: http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/view.php?pg=2nd_edition_wordpuzzle

[Bizze]

Oh you...

Just when I didn't need any more distraction in my life... ^_^;

[TriAdX]

ok.. so Swarm Of Gnats is in there.. and no other Gnat is in there... does that mean it's just swarm of gnats or is it both???

[AionTelos]

Heh, this is kinda fun :chomp:

[caveboybc]

Are we to email the cards included in 2nd edition or excluded? :chomp:

[plmrelm]

you mail the list of cards you find in the puzzle.

[caveboybc]

Thanks...there are a bunch of em:) :chomp:

[TriAdX]

haha.. yeah, about 100...

[caveboybc]

more than 80 so far...and without even glancing at a card or a cardlist. Yeah, I like to play! :chomp:

[kallisti]

Is the exact number known? I think I have 99 so far....

[kreeyax]

Hello all. Cool idea for a contest!

Just one question - I found one in the puzzle that is an uncommon according to the spoiler list on this web site- "Omnidirectional Patrolmajig". Is this just marked incorrectly in the spoiler list and it's really a common?

[Stitch]

Is the exact number known? I think I have 99 so far....
The print sheet in the image from the Cartamundi post (image (http://www.thespoils.com/images/Cartamundi/Cartamundi_2nd_Edition_production_start%285%29.JPG )) is 10x10 cards, so 100 total. So, 100 commons, 100 uncommons and 100 rares for 300 cards total, is my guess.

[TriAdX]

The print sheet in the image from the Cartamundi post (image (http://www.thespoils.com/images/Cartamundi/Cartamundi_2nd_Edition_production_start%285%29.JPG )) is 10x10 cards, so 100 total. So, 100 commons, 100 uncommons and 100 rares for 300 cards total, is my guess.

If it IS 100/100/100 then limited is going to have issues. Commons are going to be rampant and you'll have like 4-5 ofs... Also, finding a specific rare is going to be rough.

[plmrelm]

"Omnidirectional Patrolmajig" is listed as a common on the 2nd edition checklist used for these puzzles.

[Chalalite]

I'm at 98...so it's looking like there is really only going to be 100 commons, interesting.

I wasn't even sure there were 100 rares between first edition and first edition part 2 so I pulled up the list on spoilsinventory.com. There are 110 by my count, so it looks like only 10 rares are getting cut.

[Hordak]

Assuming it's 100/100/100...

BTW, holy crap at some of the things NOT in the commons list...

[Chalalite]

ok.. so Swarm Of Gnats is in there.. and no other Gnat is in there... does that mean it's just swarm of gnats or is it both???

Also, assuming it is 100 commons, Gnat is not included. Either that or I have 101 now.

[Jay]

I have 20 per trade, but including both Gnat and Swarm of Gnats :O
Doublechecked Arcanist but found no more :mad:

[Hordak]

Also, assuming it is 100 commons, Gnat is not included. Either that or I have 101 now.

I'd be curious to compare lists to see how you found 101... hopefully you didn't double count 1337 (LEET) since it's in there twice.

[TriAdX]

again... you can count Gnat... it's because it's in Swarm of GNATs

so it's 100 or 101..

my guess is 100...

[Hordak]

Including Gnat I found 100, so I'm curious what the mysterious 101st common is that Chalatite found.

[TriAdX]

I found 100 as well.

[TriAdX]

I found 100/101 as well.

[plmrelm]

Let's try to end the COMMONS puzzle this weekend. I'll take puzzle answers at "plmrelm (at) yahoo (dot) com" until Friday. This gives everyone ten days to solve the puzzle.

Thanks to everyone for participating!

[Chalalite]

You guys were right, my checklist had a couple cards listed twice. Didn't realize until I went to type it up. Now I'm short one... :(

[Hordak]

You guys were right, my checklist had a couple cards listed twice. Didn't realize until I went to type it up. Now I'm short one... :(

Don't forget that Omnidirectional Patrolmajig is officially a common for this puzzle (and I assume the set)

[Chalalite]

Nope, it was a warlord card...already had it circled too...just didn't make it to the list. Phew.

[Chalalite]

The deck registration checklists on the website here have limited liability and quotidian assassination under 1st edition and 1st edition part 2. :confused:

[Asuryan]

The deck registration checklists on the website here have limited liability and quotidian assassination under 1st edition and 1st edition part 2. :confused:
That's because of Ultra Rares. If you opened an ultra rare in Part 2, you were allowed to play it in sealed tourneys etc. Hence, all the Ultra Rares had to be on the deck rego sheet.

[Jay]

Maybe thats the unexisting Our Army or The Noah ;) (I mean the 101st)

[Zwidar]

another unexisting "card" could be Hoax.
Which could also be what this whole thing is! ;)

[Oneyus]

I noticed that as well but wasn't thinking that it might apply to the entire list.

[plmrelm]

Let's call this contest closed.

We won't be accepted any further entries for this round.

Michael will decide when to post the results.

[plmrelm]

...has been chosen. Michael has that information. This information is simply the key to the Common Word Search Puzzle. These are the 100 card names found in the puzzle and represent the commons from 2nd Edition.

I'll miss Spastic Tentacles. (Unless it's also bumped to uncommon.) Losing the Tentacles kills a whole deck (http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/showthread.php?t=5597) strategy. :(

Heirloom Incinerator hurts too. That means Warlord has to pretty much rely on Plunging Shriever for item removal. That makes the Red Light District (http://www.thespoils.com/spoils/showthread.php?t=9096) stronger, because it gets easier to shut down item removal with a single Incriminating Photograph.

[jedibcg]

Tactician Vacation.....I hope it gets bumped to uncommon. The original tactic stopper deserves a place imho.

Spastic was uncommon in beta so maybe he will go back.....

You forgot Quipmajig in this list. It was on the wordsearch. So does this mean that there are 101 commons?

Does the Gnat found in Swarm of Gnats count? please confirm this..

[Hordak]

Are you sure about Quipmajig? Coordinates and Vector?

EDIT: Maybe my search-fu is weak, but I can't find a single instance of the letters Q, U, I contiguously let alone QUIPMAJIG.

[TriAdX]

shit. It had a mark next to it but it's not actually on the sheet... somehow I must have copied it to my spreadsheet on accident..

Quipmajig is NOT in there.. so.. its 100 with gnat.

[Michael (Arcane Tinmen)]

Once again you can compete to win a complete set of 2nd Edition (one of each non-foil card).

Happy hunting :)
Michael

[Hordak]

Any chance we could get an expected count for cards? Knowing there were 100 entries for the last one was really helpful.

EDIT: For the record I think I have it solved, and I found 94 cards (including a little goody from the commons :D)

[kallisti]

I think I have 100 so far....

[TriAdX]

Scout Appears in BOTH common and UNcommon Word Searches... also.. ...

GNAT is in both (if you include SwarmOfGnats from the common list) and Gnat appears 2 times in the Uncommon search.

[TriAdX]

92.. plus 2 Gnats.. so if you counted all iterations of cards it would be 94.

but obviously something is wrong with Gnat being on there 2 times and Gnat also being possible for the Common list...

[plmrelm]

The answer key I have says there are 100 card names in this puzzle as well.

Yes, SCOUT is in this puzzle, but the answer isn't 'scout'

the letters may have spelled out GNAT, but it isn't intentional.

[TriAdX]

Opp... found it.. hmm stuck at 93..

[TriAdX]

found out why i didnt find the others.. ForcedRecruetment.... typos

[plmrelm]

Due to several mistakes between myself and the computer, several words were not actually included in this puzzle.

Micheal will reloading the Uncommon Puzzle with (I HOPE) a full and correct version of the card list hidden within it.

Please don't send any answers until the new puzzle has been posted. Anyone that has sent in answers are able to resend using the new puzzle.

Sorry for making it extra hard on you this time around ;)

[plmrelm]

We can call this version '2nd edition', right? :D

[TriAdX]

Now I have 101 and Gnat is found 1 time as well..

soooo with gnat 102... without 101. I dont know how 101.. but i've double checked and every word on my list IS in the puzzle.

[Hordak]

Yeah I have 101 not including Gnat, but including something that WAS a common but isn't now.

EDIT: was to correct typo from 102 to 101.

EDIT: Aha! Found it :) I now have 100

[plmrelm]

HINT: Only the upper management is part of the puzzle....

[Bizze]

Ehrm... Did you guys update the uncommon word puzzle just now?

I've printed four versions of the puzzle and did a manual run-through and now as I'm checking the online document, it's suddenly completely different. The name of the cards are in different places and I'm very concerned that the hours I spent on this are now worthless...

Please say this is not the case...

You may have run into the caching bug. I had to ctrl+f5 on the article page to make sure I got the correct puzzle.

[Bizze]

Well, I pressed Ctrl+F5 initially when the puzzle was released because it didn't show up, but then I printed copies of it and thought all was fine.

It was only today, when the online document suddenly changed (I had it open earlier today) and now it's a completely different puzzle and hence all my work is for naught.

How was I supposed to know that it was going to get updated and thus that I should press Ctrl+F5 yet again?

We do apologize for this. There were a mistake in the original puzzle with one or two missing words. As soon as Patrick discovered the mistake he posted here in the forum and the mistake was immediately corrected. Unfortunately this meant that the word puzzle had to de done from scratch.

If any of you have worked on the old puzzle we are fine with you submitting the solutions based on that puzzle as if they were the corrected puzzle.
You would then only be able to find less words - how many words were in this first version, Patrick?

Also sorry for the trouble with this F5 thing - we have the webguys looking into why this has happened all of a sudden...

[Jay]

OK, I still can see different US letter (which I assume is correct) than A4 (starting with S in upper left corener).
I have found 100, excluding Gnat, 20 each trade, including 16 former Commons 'promoted' to Uncommons.
I will send this but if you exclude me from the contest that would be fine, let the others win! :D

[Bizze]

I'm not really in it for the competition. I just want to know which cards are not in so that I can start thinking about making changes to my deck.

Thanks for clearing it up, Michael.
Now I'll just wait for the official list. It's too time consuming to start all over again and it's pointless to work with the old puzzle as I'm interested in which cards will be in/out.

If anybody finds Crooked Appraiser still in, let me know! ^_^

EDIT: The caching issue may well be the result of the "squid", meaning that a file that is accessed often is cached on a server somewhere between spoils.com and the end user (if it's not cached on the spoils.com server that is). It usually takes at least 24 hours for these caches to clear and it's not really anything you can do about it, apart from uploading the correct file in the first place. ^_^

It is probably still the caching problem causing this. Because both files are uploaded correctly. I am somewhat of a web-n00b and I actually wasn't aware that files to be downloaded were also cached.

Try to update using F5 and hopefully that solves it.

[Bizze]

@Michael: Using Ctrl+F5 makes the browser request the item from the server again, not from the cache. Only using F5 without Ctrl will not help at all.
I've had issues in my line of work where Ctrl+F5 hasn't solved the cache issue, though.

I suspect this is because there is a chain of servers between me (or our customer as usually is the case) and the server hosting the updated file. A ctrl+F5 reload request only reaches the nearest cache server.

This means that even if an end user in the US tries to get the latest content via Ctrl+F5, one or several servers along the way from the spoils.com server have cached the content and will only pass on the version it thinks is the current.

These caches have a set expiry date routine on the content they store, so eventually the first server in the chain discovers that it has an outdated file and requests the newer file from the hosting server (and caches it instead). The subsequent servers does the same as they reach their expiry dates and finally the latest version of the file can be sent to the end user. Badly configured cache servers can make this take a long time, close to 24 hours.

I'm not an expert in server communication, but this is how tech people have explained it to me when we've had problems with our customers not seeing the same thing as we are seeing.

[Michael (Arcane Tinmen)]

Thanks for the explaining the tech behind caching - now I am little less of a web-n00b :)

Surprised to hear that it works like that - I guess it makes it kinda hard for us to do much besides wait for the caches to expire...?

[Bizze]

Well, if you change the file name of the word puzzle the file won't be cached anywhere and as long as the users have an updated (or correct) link to it, they will get the new file.

The only potential problem with this is that if the web page linking to the pdf is still cached, it will of course lead to the old file with the old name. However, users will notice this when they click on the link as the name of the pdf in the link they are following will be wrong.

You can always post the direct link on the forums as well, to further prevent this from happening. At least then the forum people will not be affected by the caching.

[Michael (Arcane Tinmen)]

It makes good sense what you write - I will keep that in mind for future mishaps (of course hoping that I will never have to use my new knowledge, because the future will be flawless ;))

[Mr. M4R]

Nice news :cool:
For my part, I started playing The spoils with Seed/Seed2. So i am very interested in the 2nd Edition.
Although I know some "earlier cards" (mainly constructed revevant cards from 1 edition) i used the word puzzels to get familiar with all the cards of the 2nd edition ( because of curiosity and to be prepared for limited ;) )
So i hope we will see new faces in our store.

By the way I hope I find Schproingmajig in the Rare word puzzle:D

Correct me if I missed anything. This is based off of the lists posted here.
The total number of cards not reprinted between commons/uncommons brings the count to 75, so only 10 rares not reprinted? or perhaps cards like schproingmajig and SiN becoming rares?

[Weesie]

Strength in Numbers?!?! I hope it's a rare since it was just printed as a promo.

[Mglass]

Dear :tm: , if you do not print schproingmajig and make unprinted cards illegal in tournament play then I shall never play the spoils again!

Schproingmajig is one of my favorite cards and my micromajig deck is one of the only reasons I still enjoy playing the game because I think it is such a fun deck to play, it best at least be a rare or have all the cards still legal and just some not reprinted!

[Bizze]

Schproing should be reprinted as a rare. It's not overpowered and there should be SOME decks with OTK potential out there, to keep your wits sharp. ^_^

[Hordak]

Maybe before threatening to quit, it would be nice to hear their side of the story (or wait for the rare list?)... maybe there's a good reason to rotate Schproing out; something in Pink Harvest perhaps... ;)

[plmrelm]

yeah, it's about time for the rare puzzle to be listed...

[Mglass]

Maybe before threatening to quit, it would be nice to hear their side of the story (or wait for the rare list?)... maybe there's a good reason to rotate Schproing out; something in Pink Harvest perhaps... ;)


or, just don't take away my schproingy woingy!

[Hordak]

Even if cards are rotated out of tournament legality, you can still play them in casual play. AT obviously encourages casual play since they have EPIC level cards that are only allowed in non-tournament games.

[Bizze]

If they take out Schproing, they should take out Strength in Numbers as well, as it is a quicker and more consistant OTK.

They took out Selective Gluttony, so I guess some of the other power cards will go as well.

It doesn't make all that sense though... Selective Gluttony was a good card but not that good (ever had a Quotidian Misfire chained to it?) and it was only used in Writ Bile and Blatherscyhte builds as far as I know. Are they going to limit all current deck designs?

I generally like changes; they make me try harder to find replacements and keep evolving the decks. However, if Gluttony goes, SiN and Research Investment should go as well, and then perhaps Schproing isn't safe either.

I think it's time to DEMAND the rare puzzle!!!! ^_^

[smilelttldevil]

Selective Gluttony's potential as an engine in the future is almost unparalleled by any other card. Siphoning through 1/7 of your deck with one card is powerful on its own, but with the inclusion of future Recur cards making the discard pile active, it is only a matter of time before Gluttony gets the ban hammer IMO (regardless of whether or not it remains legal in part two.)

I generally like changes; they make me try harder to find replacements and keep evolving the decks. However, if Gluttony goes, SiN and Research Investment should go as well, and then perhaps Schproing isn't safe either.

I think it's time to DEMAND the rare puzzle!!!! ^_^

[Bizze]

Fine, I understand that. But that means SiN and RI should definitely go. Decks that can win turn 3 must be prioritized over decks that sift through the deck to win later.

In my humble opinion, of course.

[bigdoss73]

umm from the list i seen, strength in numbers is out....

[Bizze]

Yeah, but it could just have moved to the Rare level. We haven't seen that puzzle yet (hence my constant nagging). ^_^

[plmrelm]

The rare puzzle will be released in "about a week."

[plmrelm]

Hey Micheal, shouldn't we be getting that RARE puzzle about now?

[capdeck]

Darn! I was hoping to conclude my Selective Gluttony deck and now I notice it has been removed from OP. So it is back to the bat cave and come up with a new deck to play... :(

[Bizze]

@capdeck: No, you don't have to do that. AT has informed us that there will be no rotation. It may be in the future, but not now.
