Title: Conspiracy
Post by: Rass on June 06, 2014, 01:10:39 PM
So who did an event for this? How did it go? What kind of suggestion would you recommend? Any sleepers or colors that seemed to work well?

I played B/U last night. Te 4 person FFA was really wonky and made me rethink my normal draft decisions. Couple of cards that I loved:
{Stasis Cell}. Being able to move it around to open up opponents for attacks then lock down you opponents that helped you knock out a huge threat. This card was the only reason I wasn't the first to get knocked out haha
There's some cogwork that you draft face up and you draft cards to it rather than putting them in your sealed pull. He gets +1/+1 for each card you draft that way. Anyway, I put all my hate drafts and crap towards him and I had a {6} 13/13. He was cool.

Oh, and while I was drafting I thought red was meh. But I saw some pull it off, but one got Dack so I think he felt obligated

I watched two people pull it off rather well. Definitely doable

Cool, good to know. Usually I try my hardest to stay out of 3 color but I'll keep that in mind now. Thanks.

Just finished up my first draft, played mono-{B} Junk with {Sakura-Tribe Elder}s and {Rout} lol. This set is so sweet to draft!

Post by: DimirOverlord1300 on June 07, 2014, 12:16:15 AM
I played a bant deck with lots of fliers and {Edroc, Spymaster of Trest}. I only played a 30 card deck due to my 2 {Advantageous Proclamation} and that was a mistake. I almost milled myself out. My store did it so that if you killed someone you get a pack, and I made a deal to let one person kill me instead of another if we split the pack. All in all one of my most fun days ever.

Naya was completely doable the esper was okay
Boros was strong and Izzet had the dragon. So it was all pretty decent matchup with equally skilled players (included employees of the store)

its all prerelease hype. i did the same thing back in dragons maze when it first came out when almost every rare was like 5 dollars or more. paids for like two packs and kept turning in the winnings for store credit. went through like two boxes before i finally stopped with a voice of resurgance.

Drafted with it today and won in my pod with U/W control using 2 bragos for extra votes and a lot of will of the council cards. Played 38 card deck with the deck reduction conspiracy and iterative analysis naming brainstorm which actually never came into play when I had 2 in deck.

I believe bang is the best in the format because I was able to get the free thing that enters with 1/1 for every card in a players hand and cycle cards with  {Reya Dawnbringer} in play and the oppurtunity to make the green counters guy unblock able is just amazing
Also in another pod the 5 color world knit decks are real

I went u/w for 2 drafts (convinced the store owner to run a second one after the first ended, late night!) and almost won both on the backs of cheap flyers. Got 1 prize pack from the first and 2 from the second.

The conspiracy set is nothing but reprinted cards..

By your logic then, Chronicles, MM, and most of the early core sets shouldn't be in the database. Those are nothing but reprints...

Also just FYI when in your multiplayer pods. Your first mulligan is free!  Place I played last night had it wrong and didn't allow free mulligan..  Here is the link at bottom of page  it says first mulligan is free.

first i just want people to understand that just because mark rosewater says something, doesnt make it true. this also can be said about wotc. both my hometown lgs and my lgs in co have said their distributors told them both it was gonna be a very limited print run. obviously, the distributors could be wrong, just like mark rosewater, but i dont believe so.

It's gonna be like commander 2013 - unlimited print run until demand dies down.

What that means is: if you don't buy conspiracy right now and make it sexy; wizards will take it away fast.

ive definitely seen it kill ppl most times. when you can get multiple geysers or the guy who you pay 3 life to make a red, you can do crazy amounts of damage. so far red burn, blue white flyers, and defenders seem lime they are the bsst archetypes imo.

{G}/{B} MorbidPox is a pretty serious archetype as well. There's some good bleeders and Pox effects in the set. And {Altars Reap}/{Sakura-Tribe Elder} is pretty amazing with {Wakedancer}. 😁

Sorry, but I would rather not be targeted by Dethrone. Syphon Soul is an awesome card, but itwould be a low pick on the draft for me because it targets everyone. .politics., my friend, .politics.!
