Face Down + Hidden Mana

Sure; we agree on that part. Hence my point earlier about being in favor of "limited information." I really have two seperate arguments, to break it down more straightforwardly:

1) Making basic information like mana levels extra work to find out makes me sad. Hopefully we can agree on this being bad in principle, though I begin to suspect we disagree on *how* bad it is.

2) I like the idea of limited information--"I wonder whether that facedown monster is X,Y, or Z, because if it's X or Y I should attack, but if it's Z I should stay on defense...in his deck it's more likely to be X or Z...hm..." but I don't like the idea of having *no* idea what a monster is--"I wonder what the heck that is. Huh."
