Conspiracy's are drafted and go into your command zone, not being part of your maindeck. You can reveal them at any time to reveal the Conspiracy effect.

Do they seem to count for part of your deck-size? Or if I draft 40 Conspiracies, do I have to play a deck that's 40 land?

They are not counted as part of your deck.

I've entertained the idea of building a cube for a long time now with my large pool of unused ancient cards, but now I may actually do it with Conspiracy cards added to the mix. I hope it's popular enough to draft at my LGS for a good while, as I'm not really enjoying Theros block drafting as much as I thought I would.

Neito posted:

Theros is a fairly boring and slow-as-poo poo Limited set. It's got some fun cards for other formats, but it's terrible in Limited.

Well that explains the low turnout for drafting as of late.

I'd accuse Theros limited of many things but slow gameplay is not one of them. The format isn't as fast as 3x THS (which had some crazy fast games) but it still seems fairly fast-paced.

Maybe it's just my FLGS, but it seems like every round, two or three games go to time.

I still don't really understand how this is going to work, but this set looks super fun.

So if you draft this, do you immediately run up to the counter of the store and buy another pack of whatever that then gets passed around with the conspiracy boosters?

Maybe it's because of slow players? Most of my Theros block games have been relatively fast, even when I played U/B Control. It's closer to Gatecrash than M14 in terms of speed.

From the looks of it, the dude behind it is getting arrested too, so it's the double stroke of arresting the goblin AND the dude?

I was in a draft last Thursday and two of my four games timed out, so I don't think it's just you. The other two went by pretty fast though.

I guess you could keep a pack on hand just in case. If I can get away with it I'd sneak in an older booster pack that's somewhat affordable and lovely, like Prophecy or Homelands.
