Take it in your first pack, then in the second pack, use it to take the foil mythic and the normal mythic all in one go.

Agreed. The author's name should be Wizards of the Coast. This appears not to be a simple substitution cipher since there are inconsistencies (notably x and g).

The official announcement has been made uncoded! http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/1430

What's interesting to note is that some of the new cards in Conspiracy won't even be Vintage legal. That's the first time in a long time that they've done that.

Discuss!

Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on February 15, 2014, 10:05:26 AM
So this set obviously has some reprints, so what are they? Will they be mostly good filler draft cards like {Kami of Ancient Law} (you know fun things that have multiple purposes) or could we see a few high profile reprints?

Second question: Will this be like a normal set where it is easily available at MSRP or will it be like Modern Masters where it is $200-300 a box?

1st question: I'm expecting a little of both. It's designed for limited, so expect cards that are essential in limited (Kami of ancient law is a good example - a grizzly bear with a relevant activated ability). I'm sure that they will spice it up with something high-demand for all players to increase sales. I'm already hearing speculations at my lgs of possibly fetch lands or other high value staples for pricey formats. You won't see {Tarmagoyf}, because he kinda sucks in limited, but who knows, maybe {Bitterblossum} will show up as a mythic.

2nd question: it's tough to say. It's supposed to be 3.99 a pack, but the print run is limited (kind of like MMa). My store owner was saying that it's even kind of a pain for sellers like him, because they have a very limited time window to buy product. I'm hoping price will stay reasonable, but it's possible it will jump to MMa-levels.

I must say, that draft structure sounds like a lot of hard feelings waiting to happen. Free-for-all with prizes at stake?

It depends on how they handle it. I've done it before a couple of different ways with friends (including prizes) and had a blast.

It may indeed be legit. At least, the fonts and wording look right at a glance.

To explain why the price is so high, this isn't just any foil rare. This is an almost one-of-a-kind foil card with a serial number on the back. So far as I know, only three of these have been found. It's a serious collector's item, not just another promo.
Title: Re: Conspiracy (baseless speculation and spoilers)
Post by: Gorzo on February 20, 2014, 07:32:04 PM
I am still highly skeptical and doubt it's legitimacy. It's a set that hasn't even had cards revealed yet except for two. Foil looks weird. Set symbol foil in text box looks off-center to me.

I've been wrong plenty of times before, though. But I certainly wouldn't risk money on something that feels this fishy. Just my opinion.

It was undoubtedly revealed on purpose. WotC has been revealing Conspiracy in glimpses and codes (Tabak confirming via acronym, a coded announcment...), and this and how it's related to cogwork librarian fit in perfectly.

There was a video on youtube called something like conspiratorial activity at PAX east. The people there chose between cards they could have spoiled, either a new card type, planeswalker, legendary creature, or something else can't remember. They spoiled a conspiracy card type and then one of the guys there went on a "quest" in which he got a picture of dack fayden at the end

Post by: FustyDavorite on April 21, 2014, 10:43:36 PM
I really want to keep an open mind about dack honestly. He's coming in a set geared entirely towards limited play. The -2 COULD be good depending on what's in the set, but it isn't flexible. His +1 is good to me because he's going to get you what you need rather quickly, mitigating your pointless top decks, and his pop.. Well, I don't know. Knowing U/R it seems useful, but still you have to cast a spell that targets to see some stuff happen

Post by: Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth on April 21, 2014, 10:59:05 PM
Guys, he won't be legal in many constructed formats. He is specifically designed for multiplayer and he is quite good in EDH. He is a turn three "take someone's mana rock". He can also be used to loot (which helps you find lands and answers to threats your opponents play) and if you ulti him the game can get ridiculous. This isn't a planeswalker designed for Standard playability, he is strictly designed for casual players.

In legacy 3 mana is a lot... But like I said, I'm sure he'll find a home somewhere. ;-)

In EDH he's very good. Artifacts are the main source of ramp in most EDH decks. Stealing someone's {Sol Ring} or {Gilded Lotus} is a pretty useful ability. And drawing 3 cards a turn is so good, even if you discard 2 after. Who cares if you have to get rid of 2 useless cards a turn when you replace your draw with {Ancestral Recall}? His ult is interesting.

I think most of you are forgetting that in Legacy, people play Jittes and Swords of Cash and Money (mostly Jitte) because voltroning {True-Name Nemesis} is busted. Let's also not forget that Vintage decks tend to use a lot of artifacts (most of the P9 are artifacts). I think Dack has the potential to make a splash in those formats.

Still cheaper than steal spells actually cost.  Remember that you keep the artifact after you take it with Dack.  Any control magic effect that costs less than 4 mana is actually just an Act of Treason.  Here, you get to steal a problematic artifact, be it a Batterskull, Jitte, Sword, he'll, even a Cranial Plating or an Artifact land.  Legacy has so many great targets for his -2, he's going to be awesome.  Even if he just steals something and dies, that's some fun advantage you get.  In EDH, dropping him turn 3 almost guarantees that you nab a Mana Rock and +1 him out of danger fairly quickly.
Careful Study/Faithless Looting every turn is nothing to laugh at, either.  In draft, where we'll be seeing him most (Conspiracy and Cube), that can find you what you need incredibly quickly.  If you draft something in the Reanimator archetype, he also allows you to just dump things in to your graveyard.  In EDH, it's still powerful.  Filtering through unneeded cards each turn and Grixis Reanimator filling the graveyard are pretty strong.
His Ult is hilarious.  We'll never see it happen in Legacy, but EDH might see it more often.  It turns any sort of removal, burn, or even Auras in to steal spells.  He goes great with removal that specifies 'you don't control' or 'an opponent controls', since the original spell will fizzle once you nab the creature.  With any hard removal, it allows you to nab the creature, then kill it, giving you control over any dies/leaves the battlefield triggers.  Or combo him with Curse of the Swine.  Steal all your guys, then turn them in to Pigs.

Dack is sweet.

" 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."

As for EDH, it will depend on what the independent council who make the rules for EDH says (http://mtgcommander.net/rules.php)

These drafting cards are interesting. I'm wondering how shops will do this. With the card you can draft another pack {lore seeker} Do you call a judge and the store throws in another pack for you? Otherwise your spending like $3.50 for everyone to have more cards.  Or the other one {whispergear sneak}. Draft the card face up. During the draft you may turn it face down and look at an unopened booster pack or a pack that is currently not being looked at.  So you stop the draft to tell the guy across the table you want to look at the sealed booster pack that's sitting in front of him.  Interesting..

I like the conspiracy type cards how they use the command zone... Interesting if you daft a couple of them.
I kinda like {advantageous proclaimation}  (starting deck size is 5 less) ...

So you have to use every card you draft for it to work, but then odds are worse.

I like the conspiracy type cards how they use the command zone... Interesting if you daft a couple of them.
I kinda like {advantageous proclaimation}  (starting deck size is 5 less) ...

{worldknit} ( as long as every card in your card pool started the game in your library or command zone. Lands you control have tap "add one mana of any color to your mana pool"

So you have to use every card you draft for it to work, but then odds are worse.
The coolest thing about {Worldknit} though is trying to evaluate it, and deciding whether or not you should draft it. I just want to see the look of horror on a Pro's face as they open one pack one, and sit there thinking about all the upsides, downsides and other options.

Only in draft. I have a feeling this won't be legal in Vintage/Legacy. Or, if it is, it won't do anything, a la {command tower}

But EDH...The reason I said it is bonkers is because of diplomacy that the card entails. I really like when multiplayer forces interactions among players.

It still wouldn't work in EDH, unless you have an EDH draft or they errata the card. The colors are chosen when the card is drafted, not any other time.

You're right, I misread the card. I thought it said as you play the land, but it is as you draft it.

Does anyone else think the conspiracy that lets you name a card and spend mana of any color to cast cards with that name is pickable in the 3-6 range? It seems very good for playing a totally off color bomb.

On Amazon and such, but many LGSs and some online (like SCG, they are notorious for being expensive) stores still sell at $120. That is what is normal in my area if you went to a card shop.

2 of the lgs I go to sell boxes for $100. But I go to another store to buy my boxes. They guy I buy from sells cards, comics, and coins. Also all other collectible stuff. No area to play and only has about 100 singles for purchase. But he sells boxes for $79.95. This guy is awesome. And now a store pissed him off so he is buying board games now and he told me he has a few board games that are only like $0.36 above the price the distributor paid and sold them for. He's just looking to sell product. He also has xwing minatures. Sells all the small ships for under $9 and the medium ships that retail for $29.99 sells those for under $17.

That's pretty great. Stores pay $72.50 for a box straight from WoTC (I assume more if from a distributer), so those are some small profit margins.

I would say yes.. Anytime during the draft you can use him. He goes back into the pack when you do.

Yeah. Imagine pulling a foil {Brainstorm} (currently at $200 on TCG), foil {Stifle} ($100 on SCG) or a foil {Pernicious Deed} ($60-80 on SCG, depending on Judge or pack foil). This set will be bonkers.

It's very good in this set. Every card just about has an activated or triggered ability to use it on. Having 1 instead of 4 is kinda weak though.

So...crunching the numbers, so I could build a cube and something odd came up. In an article, ( https://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/ld/300 ) it was mentioned that there would be 10 mythics, 35 rares, 60 uncommons, and 80 commons. For those of us who can, that adds up to 185 out of the 210 cards in the set. This was originally explained by saying that the "Draft Matters" cards would go in the basic land slot, but that accounts for 12 cards, leaving 13 cards unaccounted for. 13 is an odd number, but it also happens to be the number of Conspiracy cards in the set. So this leads me to the assumption that Conspiracies will also be put into a weird slot (such as the basic land slot, like the "Draft Matters" cards).

I think the Conspiracies and Draft Matters cards will both replace the land slot. I remember somewhere that a Conspiracy or a Draft Matters card will be in every pack.
