Advantageous Proclamation

The conspiracy frame exists to ask a question Magic normally answers with a hard rule: what if the deck you registered before the game wasn't actually the deck you started with? This one cuts straight to the spine of deckbuilding law, the minimum deck size, and shaves five cards off it for free. The deckbuilding tax that every other card pays in mana, this one pays in a pregame agreement that you and your table consented to play under a different constitution. The strategic axis it warps is consistency: fewer cards means a higher density of whatever matters most, so your bombs come up more often and your filler gets diluted out entirely. That is not a flashy effect, but it is a structural one, because it edits the denominator that every drawn-card calculation runs against. It belongs to a small family of designs that operate on the rules of the game itself rather than on the board, and it has never been legal anywhere outside the consensual, multiplayer-by-design environment it was built for: the whole point is that an opponent agreed to let you start the game already ahead. Treat it less as a card you cast and more as a clause you negotiate into the contract before the first land hits the table.
