Excellent card if you manage to go wide. But with 3 other players, I'm unsure how efficient that will be.
August 16, 2016 10:48 a.m.
But why so many legendary creatures which are just big beaters at rare?
August 16, 2016 10:51 a.m.
@LittleBlueHero I really want to build a Palisade Giant-effect monarch white control deck now.

what do you mean? we only got 2 legendaries so far if im not blind. both do stuff that might turn out relevant in a conspiracy draft.

I think DarkLaw means more in general with recent sets than just specifically Conspiracy 2.

PepsiAddicted says... #12
new players start as timmies and timmy loves a fat beater that says "legendary" ;)
August 16, 2016 11:05 a.m.
No new green creatures? Well, I'll take my lyre and cry in a corner...
Anyway, Wizards is awesome with their latest innovation regarding Adrianna. Sweet design for combat...NOT! Come on, design something like a legendary creature with a Sunforger ability for once.

By the way, a pseudo-Imperial Recruiter.
Recruiter of the Guard
2W
Creature- Human Soldier
When Recruiter of the Guard enters the battlefield, you may search your library for a creature card with toughness 2 or less, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.
Before a cause can have supporters, it has to have a voice.
1/1
August 16, 2016 11:09 a.m.
Even green creatures are more complex than Adriana.
White Imperial Recruiter is a fantastic idea. Definitely one of my new favorites.
August 16, 2016 11:12 a.m.
Holy shit! Its a white Imperial Recruiter that finds EVERYTHING in Death & Taxes (except Serra Avenger), including Flickerwisp and Spirit of the Labyrinth that Imperial Recruiter cant find!

Recruiter of the Guard looks insane.
Potentially a Commander staple. Can find silver bullets like Containment Priest, Hushwing Gryff, Grand Abolisher, Knight-Captain of Eos, etc. or just good guys like Auramancer, Karmic Guide, Solemn Simulacrum, whatever.
And that's just in mono white off the top of my head. Can definitely give Boros some needed advantage by fetching Kiki-Jiki.
August 16, 2016 11:55 a.m.
New Recruiter makes my dreams of "Blood, Death & Taxes" a bit cheaper :). Actually, its alot better than Imperial Recruiter for Death & Taxes, not only because its white, but it has some nice synergy with Flickerwisp ;). Is it still worth running red for a single Magus of the Moon tho?
Other notable targets that Imperial Recruiter cant find: True-Name Nemesis and Vendilion Clique. Anyone think of others?
What it cant find that Imperial Recruiter does find: Painter's Servant
August 16, 2016 12:08 p.m.
Damn that new recruiter is going str8 into my Alesha, Who Smiles at Death edh deck.
Cast, recruit, sack, recur with alesha, recruit, sac, etc is one amazing loop. Plus it can find with three of the combo kill creatures i run (Anafenza, Kin-Tree Spirit, Murderous Redcap, and Viscera Seer)
August 16, 2016 12:18 p.m.
This thread discuss Recruiter of the Guard from a legacy Death & Taxes perspective
Also, how good is Stonecloaker with Recruiter of the Guard (for sideboard against reanimate, snap and punishing fire etc)? Seems like fun, you can bounce Recruiter of the Guard if you want, or just bounce Stonecloaker for further GY hate.
August 16, 2016 2:35 p.m.
Recruiter is so good. Well, I was waiting for my Legacy/Vintage power-level staples. Even if Recruiter sees 0 play in those formats I consider my wait over.
Looks like I am going to have to make a solid value/combo deck with now. Mirror Entity, Karmic Guide, Body Double, Venser, Shaper Savant... the only thing it doesn't get is Reveillark!
August 16, 2016 3:26 p.m.
kengiczar: Imperial Recruiter does see legacy play in some variations of Death & Taxes and in Aluren combo. It doesnt see much play, but that could be due to its massive price tag ;)

I think he was talking about the new recruiter saying if it doesnt see much play his wait is over

I already have a spot for Adriana in my Aurelia EDH PhotogenicParasympathetic
August 16, 2016 4:48 p.m.
The quality isn't good, but...
That art. I'd plaster my bedroom with them. Also Koth.
August 16, 2016 5:02 p.m.
Conspiracy 2 is now my most hated and one of my most loved sets of all time. I love it because the art is beautiful on Phyrexian Arena. I hate it because it makes me pick between the Urza one and the new one. I'd probably go with Urza just because he's hotter... I mean, because it's so iconic.
August 16, 2016 5:09 p.m.
Daedalus19876 says... #32
DarkLaw: Urza hotter than Koth? False, the latter is literally on fire ;)
I'm currently building a Game of Thrones-themed Adriana, Captain of the Guard EDH deck, if anyone wants to help :)
Oathbreakers and Kingslayers: Adriana EDH

God we are sooo close... Wedge says he has a spoiler at midnight eastern time. There's not much there that hasn't been posted here yet but I like to have it in the background while I am formatting deck pages. : )
It feels so close and yet so far away.
August 16, 2016 9:52 p.m. Edited.
kengiczar, I can't agree more! Now we're down to about 2 hours, and I'm staying up because I intend to have the card in the database by 12:10 EST.
August 16, 2016 9:57 p.m.
And the card Wedge spoiled, an Exotic Orchard reprint!
August 17, 2016 12:06 a.m.
Well. I do love this card. Very nice, especially since we are about to have 4 color commander decks! It's Exotic Orchard again yay!
August 17, 2016 12:07 a.m.
Yep, and I was the 64th person to find that out, and the 13th to like it. lol
Still a sweet reprint though! The price of the contents in this set just keeps kething higher and higher!

Well, new 
mythic rare. Going to be fun in EDH...
Gain control of the best permanent of each opponent and then take an extra turn. Or take 4 extra turns, if people have their commanders out. Youch.
August 17, 2016 12:19 a.m.
GoldGhost012 says... #42
Right here.
"Confiscate Riches"
7UU
Sorcery (Mythic)
Council's dilemma - Starting with you, each player votes Time or Money. For each player that voted Time, take an extra turn. For each player that voted Money, gain control of a permanent that player owns. Exile ~.
Roughly translated on MythicSpoiler, but it seems (mostly) correct.

Named_Tawyny says... #43
Thanks! I knew I was forgetting to do something when I made my post. doh!
August 17, 2016 12:29 a.m.
Illusion of Choice + Confiscate Riches = absofreakinlutley
Also, isn't anyone else excited about Kaya, Ghost Assassin with Waste Not? I know I am.
August 17, 2016 12:38 a.m. Edited.
Thanks, Named_Tawyny! That looks interesting, especially in Commander!
So here's the dilemma: Exotic Orchard is card #219. With 221 cards total, that means there's at least 2 more nonbasic slots. I'll place my bets on Terramorphic Expanse and Mana Confluence or City of Brass to fill those 2 spots. Thoughts?
August 17, 2016 12:40 a.m. Edited.
Sorry for the double post, but does anyone know what would happen with a creature with Melee that has a Blade of Selves attached? It's probably not the right forum and I'm sorry if it is, but I just would like to know.
August 17, 2016 12:57 a.m.
Daedalus19876 says... #47
SirFowler: I have seen contradictory posts on the internet, and the comprehensive rules around Melee have not been revealed. But since the two abilities both trigger on entering combat, you get to stack them in whichever order. The tokens from Myriad enter tapped and attacking (so they are not declared as attackers). The Melee trigger may require you to have declared attackers pointed towards your opponents, or it may just count how many opponents are being attacked.
I hope it's the latter; my Oathbreakers and Kingslayers: Adriana EDH deck wants it to be so, lol.
August 17, 2016 1:05 a.m.
@SirFowler, the best I have for you right now:
(If a creature has multiple instances of melee, each triggers separately.)
August 17, 2016 1:07 a.m.
Atony1400 I understand that each triggers separately. I mean would it trigger in the first place due to the fact that the ability triggers when it attacks, but tapped and attacking doesn't trigger until after the initial creature attacks. However, due to the wording on Melee, it says it gets +1/+1 for each opponent that was attacked this combat. That's why I'm confused. My guess is that it works, but the wording still confuses me atm.
August 17, 2016 1:20 a.m. Edited.
I believe that you would stack the Blade of Selves trigger as you choose with the melee trigger, i.e. you can attack one person and stack the melee trigger below the blade of selves trigger, therefore allowing you to hit that person for a lot. The tokens don't trigger any melee of their own, ofc.
The problem you may have is that you think putting tokens on "tapped and attacking" is technically after you attack, which isn't true. I can see why you may think that, though, considering they never technically attacked.
Blue mythic is decent. The distinct problem with it is that 1 more mana gets you Omniscience and other fun stuff, but is otherwise great.
Anything else to talk about? For a single week long spoiler, Wizards is releasing spoilers unusually slowly. I like it.
