Assemble the Rank and Vile

Description

Assemble the Rank and Vile is a distinctive Conspiracy card from the 2016 Conspiracy: Take the Crown expansion, designated as card number 2 with the set code CN2. Unlike traditional Magic: The Gathering cards, this Conspiracy introduces a hidden agenda mechanic that fundamentally changes how the card interacts with the game from the start. Players place this card face down in the command zone and secretly choose a card name, creating a layer of strategic depth that rewards psychological play and deception. The card’s primary function activates when a creature matching the chosen name dies. At that moment, the controller may pay one black mana to create a tapped 2/2 black Zombie creature token. This ability allows for flexible gameplay, adapting to whatever strategy the opponent is pursuing. As a Common rarity with a Foil finish, Assemble the Rank and Vile is accessible yet visually striking, making it a popular choice for collectors who appreciate the unique design language of the Conspiracy block. The artwork by Seb McKinnon complements the card’s dark, conspiratorial theme, adding to its appeal for those building their Magic: The Gathering collections. Collectors often seek this card for its role in drafting and sealed formats, where the hidden agenda can turn the tide of a game. Whether you are looking to complete your Conspiracy: Take the Crown set or add a unique strategic piece to your library, Assemble the Rank and Vile stands out as a key component of the 2016 release. Its ability to disrupt opponent plans while providing card advantage makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
