Just looks like a gigantic headache and almost have to have 6 people to make it fun. I know you can get away w 4 but 4 seems too small....and it's not everyday I can get 6+ for a draft.

Should change name from "conspiracy" to "gimmick"...at least sealed boxes seem to have great long term value.

And you generally need 6-8+ for any draft to be effective... Fortunately for most good stores you can swing 6-8 people for a draft... Or even a lot more

In any case, like any other set, you are free to crack the packs, play pack wars, light them on fire, or even draft and play 1v1 without conspiracies or extra draft mechanics.

I really wish there was some way to do it with a smaller group (3-5 people) in an effective manner. This seems like a format which really appeals to some of the casual players and female players I know. But it is hard to get 6-8 of these people free at the same time and getting them to go to a game store is not realistic either.

What's wrong with drafting 3 person?
I draft cube 3 person every Friday, sometimes it's 4 people, and we just play multiplayer free for all. I suppose if you only want to do 1v1s then having less people is not optimal. And sure with less people you can pretty much figure out who took what from the packs, but who cares? It's a casual home game.

Which is absurd given how some places are talking about having gotten 30+ cases, this set isn't close to being as limited as Modern Master, not by any stretch of the imagination...

Phage the unplayable? ick.

Btw, are booster packs going to be available in common department stores? (wal mart, Target, etc)

I liked drafting it but hated playing it. I am a staunch opponent of anything other than 1v1.

The first time I didn't pick this strategy until halfway through pack two, but I ended up with six Vent Sentinels and two or three Cinder Walls. The second draft I opened up Dack Fayden P1P1, so I knew that this was a good option again. I ended up with three or four Vent Sentinels, two Minamo Scroll Keepers, a couple Cinder Walls and the Conspiracy that gives you a 1/1 defender Sentinel token at the start of the game. Dack really helped to dig for the cards that I needed, so I got a great board state. Having two active Vent Sentinels that can each be activated for 5 damage was a great incentive for people to attack other players, and also meant that it was easy to close out the game when it was down to two players.
