It’s a conspiracy (week)! Every Vote Counts, So Count Every Vote
To wrap up this week’s Conspiracy theme, we’ll touch on one of the most multiplayer mechanics in the whole set- Voting! There’s multiple cards in the set that have the ability word “Will of the Council”. Just like other ability words (such as Hellbent, Landfall, Morbid, Heroic, etc), Will of the Council is in italics […]
It’s a conspiracy (week)! Hidden Agendas and Naming
Hey there, gang! Remember way back on Monday when I offhandedly mentioned there were some conspiracies you didn’t reveal right away? Well, now is the day that we’ll actually be talking about those! As we covered earlier in the week, some of the Conspiracies start the game in your Command Zone, face-up, already doing something […]

Kruphix and Mana Restrictions
is a very powerful card. As a result, many people are using him as their commander in the Commander format. One thing that can be confusing is how he interacts with special lands. Sometimes, permanents can create mana with restrictions. They could be as simple as “This mana can only be spent on a cost […]
Hydra Broodmaster and You
is quite a cool card. It has quite an interesting ability. For the low cost of XXG it can become monstrous. The real kicker is the second part of its monstrous ability. When Hydra Broodmaster becomes monstrous, it looks to see how much mana was paid for each X. It then puts that many X/X […]
Tournament Tuesday: You Can’t Sanction Conspiracy Drafts
It is now five days after the launch of Conspiracy. We here at the rules tips blog hope you had a lot of fun drafting it so far. One concern that we would like to get out to the general public is that Conspiracy drafts can not be used for anything other than casual. That […]
