I certainly haven't seen the whole set yet, so I'm not sure exactly how many facedown cards there are and at what costs/colors, but if, for example, we decide facedown is primarily a grey ability then we basically have 2 color combinations, so we could have, say, 3 "levels" of mana cost for each with 2-3 cards in each for a total of 12-18 cards, with 2-3 possibilities for any individual facedown card played. Depending on how different those cards are in abilities and stats that could be more than enough to be strategically interesting. Again, it may be too late in the process to do this, but at least in theory I think it's quite possible, and it's my preferred solution.

Which brings me back to my pencil and paper worry.

I would like to say (with no intent to be personally insulting) that this is a horrible idea. Potential coding difficulties aside, think about a deck constructed entirely of whatever the biggest facedown monster is. Turn 1: play 5 of them. Turn 2: kill.
