Echoing Boon

08/23/16

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.)

08/23/16

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.

08/23/16

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.

08/23/16

Conspiracies are colorless, have no mana cost, and can’t be cast as spells.

08/23/16

If an alternative cost was paid for the spell being copied, such as a madness cost or surge cost, the same alternative cost is considered to have been paid for the copy.

08/23/16

If the spell being copied has an X whose value was determined as it was cast (like Subterranean Tremors has), the copy will have the same value of X.

08/23/16

The copy will have the same targets as the spell it’s copying unless you choose new ones. You may change any number of the targets, including all of them or none of them. If you can’t choose a new legal target for one of the targets, then it remains unchanged (even if the current target is illegal).

08/23/16

The instant or sorcery spell can target other things as well, as long as one of its targets is a creature you control with the chosen name.

08/23/16

You can look at any player’s face-up conspiracies at any time. You’ll also know how many face-down conspiracies a player has in the command zone, although you won’t know what they are.

08/23/16

You must name a Magic card. Notably, you can’t name a token (except in the unusual case that a token’s name matches the name of a card, such as Illusion).

08/23/16

You name the card as the game begins, as you put the conspiracy into the command zone, not as you turn the face-down conspiracy face up.
