With the release of Modern Masters in 2013, Wizards started to be a little more willing to try additional supplemental releases that weren't just preconstructed products. As a result, we got Conspiracy in 2014, which proved to be a rousing success among casual players and Limited fans alike. It even provided Constructed players a solid reason to buy with a number of Eternal staples seeing reprints. Given the immensely warm reception the first time around, a sequel was in order, and in 2016 we got it with Conspiracy: Take the Crown. More new multiplayer mechanics, new cards, and great reprints are abound here, which means tons of awesome mythics for us to rank. Let's get right to it!

Honorable Mentions

I'm putting both of these at the bottom simply because they're banned just about everywhere and were only made mythic due to Limited considerations. Both occasionally see play in Cubes to give them some fun and interesting uses beyond their original draft environment, but that aside, there just aren't enough ways to use either of them.

Number Twelve

Subterranean Tremors is a neat card that produces a huge board wipe that scales up based on how much mana you're willing to put into it. At five mana, you deal four damage to everything that doesn't fly and blow up all artifacts? Not a bad deal! Despite this, it's a fairly underwhelming option, and it's highly unlikely you'll reach the 8/8 creature ever. The card sees no real competitive play outside of the rare fringe Legacy inclusion and it has the lowest EDHREC ranking of all mythics, making for a dull thud of a card to kick things off.

Number Eleven

Oh boy, I finally have an opportunity to talk about Avatar of Woe! The avatar cycle of Prophecy was one of the bigger draws to the set, and even there most of them were fairly weak compared to typical offerings. Avatar of Woe proved an exception, owing to the fact that you could cast it cheaply with enough creatures in the graveyard and be left with a huge creature that can pick off any creature on the board. This card rules - particularly in more casual circles - but at this time had been reprinted to death via Commander 2011 and Premium Deck Series: Graveborn so the inclusion here felt a bit ho-hum compared to how great the card is.

Number Ten

The way Kaya was revealed early on was awesome, with the marketing for the set originally showing Brago still alive only to be killed in the next day's marketing by Kaya. This badass ghost killing assassin made her first appearance here and while her character quickly appealed to many players, the card just wasn't impactful enough to be worth a damn in almost any space. There was, however, some additional novelty here as the set offered an alternate art version for the foil, which remains quite sought after to this day.

Number Nine

This is now the third time Platinum Angel has shown up as a mythic and the appeal it had at that rarity the first time around with Magic 2010 has certainly worn off a bit. However, by now it had been about six years since the last major printing (excluding From the Vault: Angels) and the card had been growing in both price and demand. As such, having it here was great for casual players to get their hands on, but for everyone else, it was a rather underwhelming reprint.

Number Eight

Daretti feels like an odd duck. The original Mono-Red Daretti was an instant staple of Commander and Cube for the easy artifact shenanigans it could get up to, but this one felt a little weirder. Turns out it was still quite good for Cube and Limited in general, but less so on the Commander side, making for a fairly solid planeswalker that just wasn't high class Commander fodder like the first one was.

Number Seven

You know what card is an interesting Constructed staple? Chalice of the Void. Sanctum Prelate was like Wizards trying to make a creature version of the card but without the weird rules nonsense surrounding "Chalice checking." The card made a decent splash in Legacy thanks to Death and Taxes, and also was a pretty reasonable Cube option for a bit as well. The card's usefulness is pretty much gone by today's standards, but it was an interesting addition to the card pool at the time.

Number Six

If you want all of your friends to hate you, try casting a copy of Expropriate in a game of Commander and watch the whole table groan loudly around you. There was a time when the card was reaching $70 before its eventual Mystery Booster reprint, and while it was good to see the card's price drop, the extra availability had players less than thrilled. While it's really powerful in Commander, I'm keeping the ranking lower here simply because it's just hated that much amongst the casual audience.

Number Five

LONG MAY SHE REIGN!

Queen Marchesa proved to be one of the crown jewels of Commander and even now sits quite highly among the top played Commanders of the format. At this point in time, wedge legendaries were still somewhat of a rarity, so Queen Marchesa provided a new way to utilize wedge colors. Not only that, but it provides a means of encouraging attacking thanks to the monarch mechanic and token generation for when you're not the monarch so you can, ahem, take the crown. An instant classic for casual spaces.

Number Four

Talk about an unexpected reprint! Berserk had shown up in From the Vault: Exiled and otherwise had never seen a reprint before. Given that, it was incredible seeing it here, even if its uses were ultimately limited compared to other high profile reprints. The card only really showed up in Legacy Infect lists, and even then that deck wasn't nearly as big of a player as some other decks in the format. Still, it was extremely exciting to see such a powerful classic card back again, making it easily one of the biggest highlights of the set for many.

Number Three

When Conspiracy: Take the Crown was first released, Selvala was a bit on the underrated side. Most players realized she was good, but it took a little bit for her to become such an evergreen option. Then, next thing you know she's hovering around the $60-70 range much like what happened with Expropriate. Multiple reprints can't stop her from still being a somewhat pricey card and a Commander staple for just about any creature deck playing Green. Unlike Expropriate, though, this one is far more of an enjoyable experience, even if your opponents won't be thrilled by how much value you're getting out of this.

Number Two

Much like Sneak Attack when I discussed Eternal Masters a few weeks back, Show and Tell was a really surprising reprint to see here. However, it was very much needed thanks to the continued power of Sneak and Show dominating Legacy and how expensive the deck was proving to be. This provided players with the first meaningful reprint of Show and Tell ever and was a huge get for Eternal players - particularly given the close proximity to Eternal Masters.

Number One

Few cards are so powerful they're banned swiftly in a format like Commander. Not only that, but to then see those same cards dominate Legacy is a feat in and of itself. Such was the case with Leovold, Emissary of Trest which was quickly given the boot out of Commander due to how it took over games fast. It also was a major player in certain Legacy decks, particularly Czech Pile, which was a huge part of why Deathrite Shaman ended up getting banned in the format, cementing its status as the most potent card in the set.
