Conspire and Crop Rotation

[Davran]

So I'm building a new EDH deck featuring Wort, the Raidmother. What happens when I cast a Crop Rotation that I want to conspire? Do I:

1. Pay G, tap two green guys, and sacrifice two lands to go get 2 other lands from my library; or

2. Pay G, tap two green guys, and sacrifice one land to go get 2 other lands from my library; or

3. Something else entirely?

Thanks for your help!

Conspire isn't casting. It's a static ability (of a spell) that allows you to pay an additional cost (tapping dudes) to copy the spell. Costs are paid upon casting. Sacrificing a land is part of Crop Rotations cost.

That's what I thought, but I wanted to be sure.

Thanks for your help!

No problem. Makes me want to build StripMine.StoneRain.IceStorm.edh.dec ...

Yeah, a 1 mana Harrow for non-basic lands seems like it could be good...
