I love you guys.
It is better to ask and look stupid then keep your mouth shut and remain so.

I mean, I'm as excited as the next guy about new cards in Legacy (and the random reprints in foil) but...
How many different products are they going to try to make stores keep track of? It's bad enough that boxes of the previous set die on the shelves when the new one comes out, but supplemental product is even worse. It's super popular, then it's not popular, then 2 years later it's insanely valuable, unless they've reprinted the 2 cards everyone wants twice again already.

Most of the 'Ban brainstorm!' arguments are based on the logic that 'more different cards should get played in Legacy', as though the success or health of the format can be measured by the portion of cards that are available and see play. This is an idiotic metric.
This is my single wish list from the set as well. By my count, Conspiracies make up 17% of the current banned list. If they add the same number of conspiracies, that number will go up to ~30% :/
Alternatively, I'd really like it if the list was at least organized. Something like:
Ante Cards
listConspiracy Cards
list
Yeah, I mean, we know what is on the list, because we've been around the block a few times. However, for newer players it's just obnoxious. At the very least it should be separated like you said.

Cool, a special product that's actually affordable and stands a chance of actually reducing the price of some cards.
I'm already much more excited for this than Eternal Moneygrabsters.
This, plus the fact that they can print brand new cards in Conspiracy that go directly into the Eternal card pool without passing Go or collecting $200 (unless they're foil Japanese mythics or something).
I hope the draft format is less broken this time around. I know a lot of people enjoyed it, and the mechanics were actually pretty cool, but after drafting the set twice I knew I'd never do it again. Conspiracies were just unreal good - I had an opponent start with Double Stroke and he had drafted like 8 Tyrant's Choice. He burned everyone out on turn 4 or 5.
Now, is that sweet? Yeah. But it made for some really not-fun draft games.

Bolt isn't good in modern anymore. Didn't you get the memo?

*This is also the only place where it's downright expected to dislike something, just because they are Wotc. Conspiracy have been considered one of the most fun draft sets in recent history, yet people here complain because they aren't the target audience. Nice mates, lighten up.
**Pillerfield Ox is also amazing. Please notice the flavor text on it.
Man they really missed out on a sweet title. Announcing Conspiracy 2: The Electric Bugaloo!
Wasn't Conspiracy supposed to be drafted in pods of 8 and then broken into two 4-player-free-for-all games? The Double Stroke / Tyrant's Choice strategy is pretty terrible if the table votes 'death' over 'torture'... I think you were doing it wrong.
Totally forgot about this, which makes this release all the better. They've actually been doing a decent job printing interesting, if not overly powerful, non-Blue cards in supplemental products. Maybe one will finally break through.
Very glad Wizards made a product for normal players this summer. Screw the Masters sets.
Conspiracy 1 was sweet and had good reprints. I'm sure we can expect more of the same from the second one. Good stuff.

I wonder how wotc will decide what to reprint in EMA and CNS2.

Scene 1: (non-RL)staple card XXXX is confirmed not included in EMA.
Scene 2: card XXXX's price skyrocketed.
Scene 3: rumor says card XXXX would be reprinted in CNS2.
I hear they got twisters miles wide in the Midwest.
Conspiracy 2: Electric Brago-loo
A second eternal reprint set? (I don't care much about the few new cards that will be in that conspiracy X set.)
WotC just announced 3 sets in a row, plus that duel deck. I think that is a bit too much. They keep spamming that stuff out there so fast that you don't have time to collect or play.
I assume they figured out how to spread product between their different audiences more effectively. That would certainly explain two summer sets - EMA for the spikes, Bragaloo 2 for the more casual groups.
I think there are a lot of magic players out there that are into more than one or two formats. It is getting increasingly hard to keep up when you want to get somewhere in Legacy or Modern plus a bit of Standard and still collect cards for Highlander/Commander and other casual decks.

Set re-announced. The king is murdered. Set is not 221 cards, but 220.
Jedi mind tricks...

I thought it was pretty funny.
About the different audience non-sense... Well that would make sense if they don't put any solid reprints or legacy caliber cards in Conspiracy 2... but somehow I think they want to sell those packs...
This gives me hope for Conspiracy 3: the adventures of Bayou Billy.
(The only set where they will say "fuck it" and reprint Bayou)
