Hidden agenda is a keyword found on some Conspiracy cards in the multiplayer Conspiracy sets.

Description

These conspiracies have you secretly name a card before the game begins. Any time you have priority during the game, you can turn the conspiracy face up and reveal the chosen name and what bonus the conspiracy gives cards with that name.

Double agenda

Conspiracy: Take the Crown expanded hidden agenda to double agenda. As you put a conspiracy card with double agenda into the command zone, you secretly name two different cards rather than one. This keyword is found on only one Conspiracy card: Summoner's Bond.

A variant of the hidden agenda ability. See rule 702.106, “Hidden Agenda.”

Rulings

• 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.
• There are several ways to secretly name a card, including writing the name on a piece of paper that’s kept with the face-down conspiracy. If you have multiple face-down conspiracies, you may name a different card for each one. It’s important that each named card is clearly associated with only one of the conspiracies.
• 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).
• If you play multiple games after the draft, you can name a different card in each new game.
• 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 conspiracy’s abilities will affect the game.
• At the end of the game, you must reveal any face-down conspiracies you own in the command zone to all players.
