So am I missing something with the puzzle numbers on Tamiyo's Journal? I was going to collect one of each number version in foil but so far the only two foil numbers I've seen have been 855 and 653. I've seen other numbers on non-foil versions and prerelease cards, but so far just those two on foil versions.I know that there are six different numbers: 434, 546, 653, 711, 855, and 922, but I'm not sure if maybe these two numbers only exist on the foil versions and maybe the other numbers exist on the non-foil and prerelease versions? Does anyone know if all these number versions exist in (non-prerelease) foil?

Can we take a step back and explain what the puzzle is supposed to be about? I keep hearing about the puzzle but I don't know the story. Something about Emrakul?

+1. I have no idea what the puzzle is about either.

That's actually pretty fascinating.

Yeah, there's still a bunch of theories floating around the various chat boards about it. I was just reading another one today that was theorizing that the clues could be a reference to the Phyrexians as well.Personally, I hope it isn't the Eldrazi. They just don't have a that classic horror feel that I love about the plane of Innistrad. Probably won't stop me from collecting a foil set even if it is Emrakul that shows up though...WoTC has me hooked like that  The other 'puzzle' was that the divider that came in the prerelease packs had broken images on it that, when combined (in Photoshop or by just placing other dividers together), formed a lantern similar to what some of the Geists carry...no clue what that was about either. I still haven't seen any other numbers in the regular foils. I'm starting to think that maybe there are two numbers in foil, two in non-foil, and two in prerelease maybe? I've got 546 and 922 in non-foil. I don't own any of the prerelease versions though.

Have you looked to see if foreign language versions have different numbers?__________________

Foreign language versions apparently do have different numbers, but I think that was due to making the puzzle work in the different languages. My understanding is that there are six different numbers in English - not sure if that's the case for foreign.
