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 […]
It’s a conspiracy (week)! How to use Lore Seeker
Let’s keep the ball rolling on our Conspiracy week! One of the many cards in Conspiracy that messes with the drafting process itself is . In a normal draft, each player receives the same mix of 3 packs, and everyone drafts as normal- take a pick, pass the rest, repeat. Lore Seeker throws a fun […]
It’s a Conspiracy (week)! Conspiracy Legality
Yes, even during Conspiracy week, we conspire to bring you tournament tips on Tuesday (I just couldn’t fit all that mess into the header, is all).

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 […]
