Conspiracy: Take the Crown follows up on the original Conspiracy set from 2014 and will introduce new cards that affect the draft itself as well as new Conspiracies. It is designed for eight-player drafts followed by free-for-all games of three to five players each. The set contains 221 cards (11 more than Conspiracy). Some are new cards with mechanics that enhance multiplayer play, and the other part features reprint.
The set will be printed in English, Japanese and Chinese Simplified. It will not be released on Magic Online.
Flavor
Brago, the King Eternal ruled the High City of Paliano on the plane of Fiora. Only three years after he had ascended to the throne, he was diagnosed with a hereditary and incurable disease. The priesthood — or Custodi — started giving treatments to prolong his life but extended themselves too far. His body deteriorated, but he couldn't die. Thinking it an act of mercy, Brago's good friend Selvala ended his suffering with a dagger through his heart. However, this only released his spirit from the body. The Custodi knew that they would lose power through the succession. So they kept Brago’s spirit as a figurehead and were able to retain their command.
However, his spirit was also killed. Marchesa, The Black Rose has taken the throne of Paliano, but for how long?
Marketing
The set was initially announced as Conspiracy: The Reign of Brago.[3] However, the day immediately after the initial set announcement, official twitter announced The Reign of Brago would not be the set name, along with a picture showing apparent assassination of Brago.[4] The set was renamed on February 24 to The Empty Throne to reflect the plot twist.[1] Also the number of cards was reduced from 221 to 220 too (Brago is dead, so clearly there's one less card) and the quote was changed from “Long May He Reign” to “The King Is Dead, Long Live the King”.
But again two days later the title was change again to Conspiracy: Take the Crown along with the set symbol revealed. The card count is now up to 221 again with the new queen added and the slogan was changed again this time to “You Stab My Back And I'll Stab Yours”.
