What's your Conspiracy 2 top 5?
Commander (EDH) forum
Posted on Sept. 26, 2016, 2:38 a.m. by kengiczar
Now that we've all had time to play test Conspiracy 2 what is everyone's top 5 for Commander, be it multiplayer or 1v1. This is not limited to just never before printed cards. You don't have tell us why (but we'd like to know) and please keep in mind that this is an opinion thread.
Mine are (mostly) related in some way to my favorite General, Mr. Shattergang Brothers:
- Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast
- Grenzo, Havoc Raiser
- Phyrexian Arena
- Selvala, Heart of the Wilds (This check is bananas!)
- Ghostly Prison
Honestly if Pharika's Mender was a 3 or 4 drop (even if it was a little weaker like a 3/2) I would have put it at #5. It may not be an Eternal Witness but it's close. I often use it to get back key cards like E-Witt or graveyard hating enchantments.
All in all even though I don't draft or enjoy cracking packs I am still very glad the set released as it gave my LGS some much needed variety when it comes to Generals at the table.

- Queen Marchesa (For filling the role of Political Stax commander better than any other options)
- Expropriate
- Capital Punishment
- THE ENTIRETY OF GOAD AND MONARCH!
- Kaya, Ghost Assassin (For being an interesting planeswalker that encourages making the "proper" play instead of racing to an ultimate)

Not in any particular order.
Queen Marchesa - She is a Mardu commander that doesn't force your deck into a specific playstyle like literally every other legendary Mardu does. But, if you do play a Monarch deck with her, hooo buddy.
Burgeoning - Yeah it draws hate, but it's an alternative to T1 Sol Ring and was way too many moneys before.
Expropriate - Stupidly powerful. Can win you the game on the spot, more or less.
Grenzo, Havoc Raiser - In an aggro deck, Grenzo makes it OK to swing out every turn, as you can goad your opponents' biggest creatures.
Besmirch - Again, goading big creatures, but also getting to use them yourself. Targeting a Blightsteel Colossus with this feels good, even/especially if it doesn't kill anyone.

Selvala's Stampede. My inner Timmy rejoices.
Expropriate. Melek, That Roommate Who Always Takes Your Ramen just got a new toy in the running.
Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast. A Rakdos PW that isn't Sarkhan the Mad? Sign me up.
Show and Tell. Badly needed reprint. That art tho.
Selvala, Heart of the Wilds. Megusta.jpg
Honorable mentions: Ghostly Prison, Leovold, Emissary of Trest, Besmirch.

Phyrexian Arena. I like the new art better than any of the other artworks.
Burgeoning. I can finally find one for my The Gitrog Monster deck.
Horn of Greed: I can finally get a foil one for my gitrog deck :D.
Daretti, Ingenious Iconoclast. Dunno what it is about this card, I like the way the card looks, I like the colors, and I like what the card does.
Selvala's Stampede: I haven't gotten a chance to cast it in my Saffi Eriksdotter deck yet, but I have a feeling that when I do it'll cause all kinds of shenanigans.
Some other cards that also I really like are Adriana, Captain of the Guard; Leovold, Emissary of Trest; and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds.

Also all of the Monarch and Goad cards seem like really fun additions in multiplayer EDH!
