Muzzio's Preparations

Conspiracy

Hidden agenda (Start the game with this conspiracy face down in the command zone and secretly name a card. You may turn this conspiracy face up any time and reveal the chosen name.)

Each creature you control with the chosen name enters the battlefield with an additional +1/+1 counter on it.

Seriously, this is just a summary of a day with no purpose or direction.

One day I stumbled upon an Amazon card, then I realized I could only buy Amazon things. Thought for a while, got a Prime trial, and said 'fuck it', bought some dice in bulk, some sleeves, and most importantly a box of Conspiracy and a box of Conspiracy: Take The Crown. A lot of bullshit happened and we only had four people to draft, to limit the influence I came up with a draft format (me being the only serious magic player), it was as follows:

"Gatling Draft" For the first pick draft as normal, for the rest of the pack, look at it, shuffle it, and look at the top five cards, then draft one. If a card affects the pack (Agent of Acquisitions for example) it supersedes the top five rule.

It stopped us from filtering the fuck out of our picks and made staying open for colours really matter, archetypes were still a little to open, but it was better than a rotisserie or Winston. Drafting was also fun as hell.

The first draft was Conspiracy, and I went Howling Wolf, with conspiring shenanigans they were 3/3's for 2 with no coloured cost and some keyword, and I just got best down by Vent Sentinel. I would have trapped him if it wasn't for the barrage of removal from a third person (a control player), let's call him Grenzo, who mocked my aggro deck, despite this being a casual endeavour, this meant war.

Grenzo a few games later drafted an admittedly powerful deck with 4 skittering lizards, Muzzio's Preparations and Secrets of Paradise, he mulloganed aggressively and was soon swinging for six. This same game he was just waiting for me to mill myself with Iterative Analysis on four Brainstorms and Advantageous Proclamation, so he left me alone. After he killed everyone else, I remembered a phrase from Cameron of LRR that I felt could be more intimidating, I looked Grenzo in the eye and asked, "How do you like value?". I cast brainstorm, draw 4, drop two, cast Rousing of Souls, and in response I cast Split Decision, copy the souls for four spirits and the cards in hand that I needed, block and hold out until I can constantly use Brago, King Eternal, Custodi Squire, and Doomed Traveler to pump out spirits, fly over him, and leave up blockers. Then the bastard conceded.

hmm apparently the new conspiracies don't work for linking that great Muzzio's Preparations for an example of an old conspiracy and why it makes sense to print Spy Kit in this set.

JessieMessy on Conspiracy cards legal in EDH/Commander?

7 years ago

I think if the "conspiracy" cards get added to the list of banned in vintage then they would be banned in EDH. Not all previous "conspiracy" cards are on the banned list--> http://magic.wizards.com/en/game-info/gameplay/formats/vintage

I did not read anywhere that the "conspiracy" cards are not allowed in play, as fact it reads the opposite.

"Cards from expansions and special sets (like From the Vault, Magic: The GatheringCommander, Duel Decks, Conspiracy, etc.) are legal in the Vintage format on the date of release of the expansion or special set."

Also note as Sunday 21 Aug 2016, the only "conspiracy" cards on the banned list are from conspiracy 1; Advantageous ProclamationBackup PlanBrago's FavorDouble StrokeImmediate ActionIterative AnalysisMuzzio's PreparationsPower PlaySecret SummoningSecrets of ParadiseSentinel DispatchUnexpected PotentialWorldknit

So technically until it's updated the new cards will be legal lol ;)

ErebusX on Gatewatch format

7 years ago

1.) In this casual, multiplayer format, you start with a life total of 30 (rather than the usual 20) and choose a Planeswalker (or legendary creature that transforms into a planeswalker) to serve as your General. You then choose cards to match your Generals color identity to build your deck. A card's color identity is any mana symbol appearing on that card.

2.) The Gatewatch deck contains 65 cards: 1 General and 64 others. Your deck may contain only one of any individual card, with the exception of basic lands.

3.) The General enters play in the general zone. You may cast your General from the general zone for its normal costs, plus an additional one mana for each previous time it's been cast from the general zone this game. If your General is ever headed to the graveyard or exiled, you may return it to its general zone instead.

4.) All cards, including your General, must have a Converted Mana Cost (CMC) of 6 or less. In the case of cards with X in their mana cost, X = 0 for the purpose of calculating CMC for construction purposes.

5.) In addition to the normal Magic win conditions, you can win in this format by raising your General's Loyalty to 30 or higher. If recast from the general zone, your General's loyalty always resets to its base value.

Note that any cards banned in Vintage are also banned in Commander, though they don't specifically appear on the Commander ban list. This includes "ante"-related cards (Jeweled Bird, Timmerian Fiends, etc.), physical dexterity cards (Chaos Orb and Falling Star), Conspiracies (Backup Plan, Muzzio's Preparations, etc.), and Shahrazad.

Mortem on Share your great MTG stories …

8 years ago

So, the purpose of this is to share and comment about your great plays and stories, or ones you have seen. They should be something weird, that neither you nor your opponent saw coming, in any format.

I'll start off with one of mine: I was playing a 5-player conspiracy draft, and for some reason we all made the teams before even starting. I was on a team with one other player, and was really apprehensive about having them be up a player on us.

Then I saw my ally's move: Turn 1: Play mountain, reveal 3 Brago's Favor, 1 Muzzio's Preparations, 1 Immediate Action, and 1 Secret Summoning- all naming Lizard Warrior. Suddenly, he had a 5/3 with haste turn one, and tutored up 2 more. His next turn, he had attacked one opponent down to 0. All I could think was: "I'm glad he's on my team."

Well, do you have any stories like it? Post them here!

Please don't post obvious infinite combos and stuff- I don't want to see Splinter Twin plus Deceiver Exarch.
