Conspiracy Full Set is Out!
Spoilers, Rumors, and Speculation forum
Posted on June 2, 2014, 12:56 a.m. by JWiley129
Come one come all and see what Conspiracy has in store for you!
Some new notable reprints: Stifle (Rare), Phage the Untouchable (Mythic Rare), Sulfuric Vortex (Rare), Hydra Omnivore (Mythic Rare), Sakura-Tribe Elder (Common), Mirari's Wake (Mythic Rare), Pernicious Deed (Mythic Rare). and Vedalken Orrery (Rare).
Carnal Dredger says I get card advantage before the game even starts. You may not necessarily get the best cards since they're the last ones of the packs, but they're still options that you're taking away from your opponents.
Also like Reflecting Pool being reprinted again.

Hard to tell, some people may just try to get the older ones because of the old art/frame and then there is the other camp that will like the new version. I'm curious what Foil Brainstorm will be?

Question, less than 7 days away until release and was wondering why shops dont have the singles for sale.
This store i buy online from has cards up for preorder before the entire set is revealed.
Also Im glad they brought Victimize back with nice art. A great reanimation card.

ryuzaki thats what i was thinking, but i am unsure about how much conspiracy is actually being printed. I thought it was limited run but there seems to be a fair amount of it being sold. foil brainstorm now is like 200 but i bet it will plummet.

Its like a normal print run, at first may seem limited due to pre-order caps stores have, but its same print level as a normal expansion.

I am looking forward to Stifle . I like the reprint art better. I hope I can pick some up while they are cheap. I'm really looking forward to the greatest theif in the multiverse, Dack Fayden. I hope they print him in a standard legal set. maybe a different version, but still.

Who cares if Stifle loses value? I hope people draft conspiracy so much it goes all the way down to $2...
I'm sick of everything costing so much. I'd be happy if they reprinted staples until every modern legal cards was $10 or less and Magic ended up being more about the game and less about the hording and speculating.

Skeletal Scrying is also a super fun card.
This set is great.

Hope I can draft this on Friday. So many fun looking archetypes to play and great cards to add my collection.

I need so many. I might actually buy my first whole boxes of MTG cards. This set is so good, and draft based. I love draft.

they reprinted Howling Wolf , I love him, my first draft deck here is just going to be him and conspiracies naming Howling Wolf . On a slightly different note, why is there only one snake in this set, snakes seem almost necessary in a conspiracy. GIVE ME SNAKES!

I really wonder why they didn't reprint any card with the Conspire Mechanic. So much flavor missed.

Can somebody explain me how many cards you have to draw on each of your turns with the Backup Plan? Only 1? 1 Per each hand? And what if you have, say, 4 Backup Plans? draw 4 hands?! 21 cards out of 40 card deck?! And draw 4 cards per turn?! OMG Conspiracy you are AWESOME =)

Spectral_Force: Back up plan lets you draw an extra hand of 7, but you only keep 1 hand. before taking a mulligan, you shuffle all but one 7 card hand into the deck.
June 5, 2014 6:56 p.m.
CommanderOfBolas says... #21
so if you have 4 back up plans, you draw 4 additional hands of seven, but you only keep 1 hand. you still only draw once per turn

Spectral_Force says... #22
Ah, I get it now. I thought you actually got to keep ALL of your hands during the game. I was confused by "BEFORE TAKING ANY MULLIGANS", and I thought you get to mulligan all but 1 of your hands (Example of my thinking: you mysteriously start a game with 3 backup plans, you don't like your three hands, you shuffle two into your library and keep 1. THAN you draw 2 more hands and start the game.) Thanks for clearing this up for me CommanderOfBolas =)

While some of the rares look amazing i'm not entirely sure if this will be my cup of tea. I'm terrible at drafts. From the official site:
"There are sixty-five new cards in Conspiracy. Fifty-two of the new cards will be legal in Legacy and Vintage; thirteen cards will not."
I think for me what it boils down to is whether or not my play group will let me use some of them for non-official commander play. There are so many sweet new cards I can hardly make it past page 2 of the spoilers.

Typically any new cards released in supplemental sets are also legal in EDH when they're made legal in Legacy/Vintage as all current Vintage legal cards not on the EDH banlist are legal in EDH.

In that case i'm looking forward to seeing some new generals : )

kengiczar - The only cards (that we know of) that are not legal in Commander from Conspiracy are the Conspiracies themselves. All other cards are fair game, unless the Rules Committee thinks any of them are ban-worthy right off the bat. I don't THINK that there are any, but we'll see.

I'm pumped for draft tonight. Want to pull the dragon and go to town.
June 6, 2014 8:28 a.m.
There are just to many cardsI want not to draft at this point I think. I might have passed it but is the card still in that lets me steal something from somebody else? I saw one that allowed you to request a trade but originally I was under the impression that rampant draft theft would take place. (Certainly hope not. Imagine getting a dragon and then somebody ripping it away.)

Deal Broker allows you to offer up any one card you drafted for trade immediately after the draft. Other players may offer you one card in return and you choose which offer to accept, if any.
