Or is it? Conspiracy: Take the Crown adds a new element to the game – The Monarch. The Monarch gets to draw a card at the beginning of their end step. Awesome, but how does one become the Monarch? Well, first you can play one of these cards. But the more entertaining (and possibly easier method) is to deal combat damage to the poor sap that is the current Monarch. It remains to be seen whether being the Monarch will draw the ire of the table and whether the extra card is worth the extra attention. Maybe folks will try to avoid being the Monarch, but I doubt it.
There are some other fun new mechanics as well such as Council’s Dilemma. These cards require each player to decide between two choices on the card. Do you want to give someone an extra turn or their choice of a permanent you control? Quite the dilemma!
Finally, Conspiracy cards are back and in true fashion, they are not searchable on Wizard’s Card Search so you will have to wait to see them. The important thing to note though is they do not count towards your 40 cards in your deck. Should you take a conspiracy card or the card your deck needs? Tough decisions ahead…
There are two other new mechanics, Goad and Melee, but you can look those up on your own.
No, seriously. Look them up yourself.
So the wife gave me a pass to hold Magic at my house the last weekend of October. And since it is my birthday, I figured lets mix it up and open some presents (packs of cards). Conspiracy has cards specific to the draft format as well as some unique mechanics so it should be fun! Bring a couple decks as well and we can do some head to heads if we get knocked out of a game early.
I was thinking Saturday, the 29th would be best but am open to Sunday the 30th as well. I was thinking of grabbing a bunch of meat and tortillas and doing street tacos (Professor, you can have tofu tacos or some other meat substitute – just let me know your preferred non-meat substitute). I will let you all figure out the driving situation, but hopefully you can squeeze into one or two cars at the most.
Best part is that the packs are paid for. You will go home with shiny* new cards for free.
