Resized them to be mostly uniform. Now to play with them.

>>46166729
Hm.... I've got a couple theories. Maybe you're supposed to lay the tops of the cryptoliths on top of each other? It looks like they might match together like a puzzle. Alternatively, there's enough repeats that they could represent individual letters. Maybe the angles of the cryptoliths has something to do with which letter?

am i the only one?

Funny you mention this.

I'm actually tracking how they're moving. I think I'm on to something.

I now imagine those pillars not being still but headbanging slowly.

>Maybe the angles of the cryptoliths has something to do with which letter?

That's my first guess. Decyphering single letter substitution usually begins with finding out which symbol repeats itself the most, and then replacing them with "e" and seeing if some coherent pattern immerges (for example, if the most common symbol was aimed at 5'oclock, or pointing to the 5th letter of the alphabet). If "e" fails, the other vowels each take their turn, as the most common letters in the English language.

I personally see it as

The straight up and down repeats itself the most.

It really was that simple...

>>46167383
lmao
what a fucking joke

>>46167383
That's not a puzzle. That might as well be a coincidence.

It has no meaning.

it's wizards

What the fuck is the point of the "puzzle" if they've already shown Nahiri's card?

Maybe if they'd kept it hidden til it was figured out or whatever

This was some pointless bullshit

So... the solution to this whole puzzle is just Nahiri. A character who we already know is causing all this trouble. A character whose card we've already seen.

The leftmost cryptoliths share similar angles in each picture and all face the same direction. There is one off though.

Similarly all cryptoliths second from the left face to the right and have similar angles, except two stand out this time.

The same pattern repeats for the third cryptolith but does not for the fourth one.


Personally I'd say the determining factors are the direction the cryptolith is looking towards and its angle. Some appear to be bigger than others too.

I'd try superimposing all the 11 patterns. Maybe the combined shapes will resemble something.

This makes no sense. I think there must be more to it than wizards is letting is know. Still, one thing is clear, whatever the answer, it may have to do with clocks.

I was looking at this earlier today when I could only find 5 of them...I got to 111, and I thought it might've been pointing at Dark Depths, number 145 or some card featuring Griselbrand. I knew you fucks were over analyzing.

Fuck this.

So not only was it a lame puzzle, but the solution wasn't even something unknown.

Furthermore, they felt the need to spell it out immediately.

This could have been something really cool and they just did nothing with it.

>>46168467
Yep. Yet another disappointment. It would have been fine if they had Teamworked Ulamog back into stasis and them driven Kozilek away. That would have left a lot of pieces still in play, and let them get a reasonable victory while leaving Zendikar intact.

Instead they killed both titans and an entire plane. Instead of a nice-feeling victory, it just feels ridiculous.

>>46168433
We should be glad they spoiled it immediately.

Could you imagine working on this puzzle for a week, with one guy saying "it adds up to her card number" and everyone else saying "That's retarded, you're retarded, there's got to be something more to this puzzle"?

How smug that one guy would be at the end?
Fuck that one guy.
