"Play cards as written"?
Gentlemen, I believe we have found the ultimate counter to textless promos.

@Shikadi: yes, if the card that "exiled" it used the term "remove from the game". "Exile" still sends cards to the exiled zone. Of course, only cards from M10 and Zendakar have that term, so far, and the specific individual card HAS to be physicly printed as part of either set's run. There is no doubt there are a LOT of other fun or powerful tricks that can be pulled with old card wording. How about this (minor) one: while Lifelink abilitys don't stack, cards printed befor Future Sight don't physicaly SAY Lifelink, so these abilitys are no longer Lifelink, and thus stack with Lifelink.
Also, the old Mono Artifacts. Now, you can use their abilities without tapping them, as many times as you want a turn. This works because this only restores the old wording, it doesn't restore the old rules. So that rule that says Mono Artifacts must be tapped to play their ability? Still as gone as ever.

R&D's Secret Lair+Floral Spuzzem+Time Warp=Game Stall. As comprehensive rules define that only a player makes a decision, R&D would make the Spuzzman make a decision, thus it is a player, and Time Warp then gives the Spuzzman a turn, which it wouldn't do anything ever. Thus: Stall for eternity.

The old version of lightning bolt "does 3 damage to one target." So you can deal three damage to lands and enchantments now!

Play this with Decree of Annihilation, then pull out a butcher's knife from your backpack. "It says I get to remove your hand from the game... would you like to concede now?"

Another fun combo is to use this with a regeneration from Alpha, Beta, or Revised. For one mana you can regenerate any creature.

@Ratoly: What if your name is really Floral Spuzzem though??

Play a Revised Desert Twister to get rid of a card you never want to play against again.
@BinarySpike: Then you need to kill your parents.
