Power Play, Conspiracy, designed by Matt Stewart first released in Jun, 2014 in the set Conspiracy.
Power Play is particularly beneficial in decks that focus on aggressive strategies or fast-paced gameplay, as being the starting player allows you to establish board presence before your opponents can react. This card is especially effective in multiplayer formats like Commander, where going first can significantly impact the game's flow. While there are other cards that can provide similar advantages, such as First Turn, which allows you to take the first turn in a different context, Power Play's unique ability to set the starting player in a multiplayer setting makes it a valuable choice. Overall, it should see play in decks that thrive on early aggression or combo setups, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the specific metagame.

A conspiracy doesn’t count as a card in your deck for purposes of meeting minimum deck size requirements. (In most drafts, the minimum deck size is 40 cards.)

Conspiracies are colorless, have no mana cost, and can’t be cast as spells.

You can look at any player’s face-up conspiracies at any time. You’ll also know how many face-down conspiracies a player has in the command zone, although you won’t know what they are.

If you have Power Play but aren’t the starting player (because another player also had Power Play), your place in the turn order is unaffected. If you’re sitting to the right of the starting player, you’re going last. Not all power plays bear fruit.
