I've looked at it a bit, but I think it would be helpful to know which (if any) clues you've gotten.

The ones I've found (or have a decent idea of) thus far are:

  • B) I think it's Mirari as that makes the most sense, but could also be Hankyu or Onulet
  • E) I want to say tao
  • F) The only black instant from 2004 or earlier that gives -1/-1 with 5 characters in its name is Night
  • G) Mark Rosewater has a post from 2016 that says BFM inspired split cards, but it's weird that post is from 2016 and the puzzle is from 2004.
  • J) I'm fairly sure it's weenie
  • K) The only word that comes after splice on cards is onto (Dampen Thought)
  • T) I heavily suspect this is flash, but the h in location 149 is throwing me off.

The Magic site looked terrible back then, by the way.

Thanks! I thought it might be out there somewhere but I couldn't find it. Preparing a Magic-themed Christmas scavenger hunt for my kids.
