Conspiracy Draft Archetypes
Limited forum

I drafted Conspiracy today, and realized that there are no actual archetypes, and that you can make up whatever the hell you want.
I began by drafting BR Chaos, with a heap of sweepers and troll burn cards, but a few amazing GB cards took me into Jund. I played Jund Midrange, featuring 3 Syphon Soul and a heap of bombs, with Sakura-Tribe Elder for mana fixing.
Someone else drafted tokens, taking all of the token producing cards, while another played Mardu Council, with a heap of vote cards and a Scourge of the Throne splash.
What archetypes have you drafted? Which archetypes are the best/most fun?

I think one of my best and most fun decks so far has been B/G morbid built with 3x Hunger of the Howlpack paired with the Conspiracy that let's you copy the spell when you cast it and 2x Tragic Slip. The deck also had a few Typhoid Rats, an Altar's Reap, a Drakestown Forgotten, a Pelakka Wurm and a Galvanic Juggernaut next to some nice B/G removal cards like some Plummet and Assassinate. There's so much stuff dying in a multiplayer game that you have the opportunity to cast a spell with morbid at least once during each turn-cycle.

My best was either Boros Weenies or Simic Brainstorms (I had like 5 Brainstorms, and two of the conspiracies that let you draw an extra card. So they were draw 5, put two back). Basically just flooded the board as fast as I could and overwhelmed everyone else

I drafted Mardu good stuff and nearly won... miscounted the number of lands I had hit with Grenzo, Dungeon Warden, whiffed on a creature, and had no cards left.

B/G Howling Wolf tribal. Uses Reito Lantern to return dead wolves to deck, then search them up again. Makes use of morbid mechanic to take advantage of oft-dying wolves.

defenders is also a fun deck, with Cinder Walls and Warmonger's Chariot, and you can use the burn-equal-to-number-of-defenders-dude as a finisher, theres also the 0/3 cat guy that gains you life

Well, all the guilds are fairly represented in Conspiracy draft as archetypes:
GW - tokensRW - defendersUG - cards with the same name
etc.
