So, this is something I hope will be informative for anyone like me who is planning or hoping to play with Conspiracy cards (the set and/or the card type) without drafting/cubing/wizard's tower. While a ton of the "marked" artifact cards are superfluous in a multiplayer game w/ no draft, I think the Conspiracy cards themselves still are compatible with Casual and/or Legacy multiplayer. The problem? Allotted number of Conspiracies. That's where the poll comes in.

3WWU, 2GWW, and 4RWW! These were the mana costs chosen to summon the perfect little angel! But Professor Avacyn accidentally added an extra ingredient to the concoction! Chemical x Thus, the Powerpuff Girls were born! Using their ultra super powers, Gisela, Bruna, and Sigarda have dedicated their lives to fighting crime and the forces of evil!
I voted 1. In constructed, you can easily break these by combining the conspiracies that give you 1/1 defenders and the one that gives all your creatures the ability to tap for mana.
So say you can use four conspiracies. You intentionally go second, and on the first turn reveal all your conspiracies. You get 3 soldiers, and all of them can tap for mana when your first turn starts. Sound broken? It is!

While I understand how that can occur, the chances of any of the other 3 players doing the same (or worse) are just as high. While if it's universally agreed any above 1 is unfair, that may be the case, but I hope more people agree 2+ is a good number. These combinations are what seem to make the card type fun. I emphasize that the number of players is the so far standardized 4, to equally emphasize the chances you as 1 player have against the total number of opponents to take full advantage of YOUR number of Conspiracies vs their combination of Conspiracies.

I was more meaning if people wanted to play using the cards they had already opened and are unable/unwilling to draft again via Cube or Wizard's Tower. Constructed decks, beginning to end, including Conspiracy cards in the Command Zone. How many should each player start the game with?

Allow sideboards to be reduced in size by 5 per conspiracy card. i.e, a max of 3 conspiracies, but you won't have a sideboard if you choose that option.
