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?
Doing it tomorrow
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 did a 4 man draft at my lgs today
Started at 2:00 (for fun) first game didnt end till 6:30....
We had an Izzet, esper, boros, and i did naya
So 3 color is playable with the speed of the format?

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!
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)
Then open it up yourself and rub it i their faces...?
That's what I did when i bought a odyssey box. They were jealous *insert troll face*
A guy cracked one today and bought 4 more with get he opened...
It's a money box..
I would never feel comfortable drafting that...

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.

You don't crack conspiracy. You draft it. It's like mms, you can't "just crack it"
Just cracking 2 Random MMS got me a tarmogoyf and cryptic command... Just sayin :P
I don't have anybody to draft with:( so I ended up cracking a box. Can't complain though 2 {council'a judgement} and {dack fayden}
So, {Grudge Keeper}.
He is completely insane!
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.
When will this be in the database?
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

So your saying you are trading me that goyf? ;)
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.

It has no reason to be in the database
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...

Magister of Worth?
All the cards with Dethrone?
Yeah, totally reprints.
You gotta think that since this set will be an unlimited print that most items will go down in value

Conspiracy will *not* have a limited print run. We are willing to reprint if there is enough demand.

And Dack Fayden, and the Cogwork cards, and the conspiracies...
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.
Has anyone seen conspiracy at target or walmart or any other non lgs place?
Its at a store by me that's not a gaming store. He just sells wotc and board games, comics, collectible cards, coins, gold, silver

MaRo says it will only be in hobby shops, no big box stores.
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.
I just went to walmart to look. No go.

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.

Well yeah, that's sorta what I meant. I was able to kill 1 of of the 2 people left with it and kill the other guy with creatures in the same turn to win.

{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}. 😁
5 color mill with all kicker guys, altar of dementia, and death render :)
I played Mono Red Kill Everyone with {Sulfuric Vortex} and {Heartless Hidgetsugu} It was so much fun. I won one game and lost the rest. It was great
Because he can
Did any card really stand out in your games? Either one you were playing or an opponent used?

His hand is stained red from a torture he was forced to undergo when a djinn beat him senseless..
Since he's a thief, I guess you could say...
*puts on sunglasses*
We caught him red handed.
YEAAAAH!!!!
Quote from: Taysby on June 08, 2014, 10:28:06 PM
Wow. Why did we not get dack sooner?
I had this discussion with a couple of my friends. We decided it's mainly due to the fact that R&D probably doesn't want him in modern. He's pretty sweet.

Yes multiple {Elvish Aberration} helps put you ahead a lot and the conspiracy double stroke , the copy one with any of the morbid instants is sweet
I had the copy instant or sorcery hidden agenda and 5 {Syphon Soul}'s, I won that game!
Quote from: Taysby on June 09, 2014, 05:55:49 PM
What noobs were you drafting with to get passed that many siphons? -_-
Noobs that weren't drafting black?
Quote from: Taysby on June 09, 2014, 10:44:43 PM
Just because you aren't playing black isn't a good enough excuse to pass siphon souls.
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.!
