Messenger Jays, Creature — bird, designed by Lars Grant-West first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 2 different ways.
This card, Messenger Jays, would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on card advantage and incremental creature buffs. Decks that aim to control the board while maintaining card advantage would find this card useful. However, there may be better options available depending on the specific strategy of the deck, such as Mulldrifter for card draw or Aven Wind Guide for a more reliable +1/+1 counter effect. Messenger Jays could see play in decks looking for a versatile card that offers both card draw and creature enhancement, but its effectiveness would depend on the overall synergy and game plan of the deck.

Because the votes are made in turn order, each player will know the votes of players who voted beforehand.

If a creature with an enters-the-battlefield council’s dilemma ability leaves the battlefield before that ability resolves, players can still vote for any option that would put +1/+1 counters on that creature, even though—or perhaps especially because—those votes won’t generate an effect.

Players can’t do anything between voting and finishing the resolution of the spell or ability that included the vote.

Unlike the will of the council cards from the original Conspiracy set, where a majority of votes determined what happened, each vote made for a council’s dilemma card adds to the ultimate effect.
