Given current text sizing would the current oracle text for Chains of Mephistopheles or Ice Cauldron fit on a card?(careful templating might have a stroke if you ask then)

Unlikely.

Do you know what card outside of silver border has the most words of text on it?

There are a few candidates off the top of my head. Both Takklemaggot and Ice Cauldron have Oracle text that would not fit in the text box if printed.

Really Maro? Bubbling Cauldron? Magic already has a cauldron: Ice Cauldron! Why couldn't you just reprint that?

Our cards are too small. : )

Have you considered writing a column about all the things we can learn from Ice Cauldron?

I’m not sure I could fill up a whole column on the topic, but I can fill up this answer. Here’s the lesson - Don’t make cards so complicated that the rules text cannot fit on the card.
