I wouldn't say Power Play is the most fair by any means. Going first is a huge advantage in magic, and especially cube where you can draft brutal aggressive decks. Also, the Conspiracy 2 conspiracies were still pretty great. Some were bad, sure, but there were a lot of good ones.
The colored ones definitely all sucked. You are right though, there were some pretty good ones, I was just very let down by the colored ones.
And it wouldn't be in the cube if it was fair, but it's more fair than infinite turns, which is really easy with doublestroke.
Conspiracy two most of the conspiracies sucked, but double stroke was too good in a powered cube for my group, required too many, "double stroke can't name" for my liking, so I'd place it as the best.
Power play is the most fair broken conspiracy, but it's pretty insane too.
Wraths were great cards before planeswalkers were a thing, so I don't buy the "this kills my planeswalkers so I can't get value out of it" argument. Killing planeswalkers is a plus to me, with all the token producing planeswalkers nowadays there are a lot of boardstates where this card will be really good.
Origins was the first truly good core set. I hope the new core sets are just origins sets every time. I like that this guy is a 2/3, I feel like this would normally be a 2/2 which would be disappointing.
Having bolas in an izzet deck splashing black just adds so much to the card. This card is weaker, but it costs less and is unplayable less often, seriously even in dedicated grixis decks there were games without double black available and it felt bad.
Two cards that are definite includes for me today, I haven't been this excited about additions in a while :). His recursion seems pretty easy in decks that would want him too.
10/10. My favorite simic card, a resilient finisher, a cheap card advantage engine, a card that works together as the spikiest card I've ever seen, I love it.
Kinda neat that her 0 is basically an ultimate ability if she has scryed a bit.
I have to agree. Black Oath Ob Nix is really not a bad card at all. Much better than Vess I feel. I think new Lily is superior to either though.
He was pretty decent, but for a planeswalker he was probably the most boring of all time. Anything close in power level should get a chance over the black oath.
