Unexpected Potential Rulings

  • Aug 23, 2016

    A conspiracy doesn't count as a card in your deck for purposes of meeting minimum deck size requirements. (In most drafts, the minimum deck size is 40 cards.)

  • Aug 23, 2016

    A conspiracy with hidden agenda that has a triggered ability must be face up before that ability's trigger condition is met in order for it to trigger. Turning it face up afterward won't have any effect.

  • Aug 23, 2016

    A conspiracy's static and triggered abilities function as long as that conspiracy is face-up in the command zone.

  • Aug 23, 2016

    As a special action, you may turn a face-down conspiracy face up. You may do so any time you have priority. This action doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. Once face up, the named card is revealed and the conspiracy's abilities will affect the game.

  • Aug 23, 2016

    At the end of the game, you must reveal any face-down conspiracies you own in the command zone to all players.
