I love how some of these draft cards are very powerful because they'll never be played in any other format. It works well with the theme of the voting cards too, since the people that get to chose colors will still try to mess with your plans.

The number of cubes will skyrocket as people try to find a use for "draft matters" cards. Plus, if you draft with buddies, you can collaborate to make the second ever wedge land!

Is this card gonna be in a rare slot, or in the land slot?

The fact that you don't choose first will probably help this card actually hit a color you're running.

Only useful for like 4 hours, then it's only good to light a fu**ing fire, or cube. It's the same thing for all "draft effect" garbage cards.

@Anzu-chan Well, then you can just skip conspiracy altogether if you hate the draft-matters cards that much.

True. I appreciate all of these draft-only cards so much more knowing that they aren't going to become a potential junk rare if you're not in for that.
Having said that, this is actually a really powerful tri color land with no drawback.
It has an interesting way of testing players' drafting competence, with the potential to reveal a bit about each players thoughts on what color you are drafting.

I'm looking forward to doing one Conspiracy draft, and after that I'll have the 24 draft-matters cards to throw into every draft we do from then on! All drafts your group does can have wackiness added for no further outlay! Just add one draft-matters card to each booster as you open it :)

Could you use this outside a draft to produce colourless mana? I'm not sure why you would want to but the fact that it is legendary might help in some decks

Why worry about draft-only cards from a set designed for draft? I mean, if you want singles, buy singles. Leave the boosters to people who want to draft. The draft-only cards replace the basic land, so no dead cards. But considering the entire point of this whole set is to draft then play multiplayer, STFU about draft-only cards. Seriously.
As for this card, I think it would be best drafted early, of course. You will get at least 1 color you need, hopefully more. If you dont get 100% on-color choices, then maybe (if drafted soon enough), you will be able to shape your picks based on these colors. At least grab some things to splash.
The thing is that if drafted in the first pack, then the color the person to your right picks, you might as well count out. I mean, if I were to your right, I would honestly choose the color I am in since I am cutting you off in 2 packs. The color the person to your left chooses will only cut you out in the second pack.
So take note, if you are on the left of the person who drafted this, if drafted in pack 1, say good bye to that color. If you are the one drafting this, again assuming a pack 1 pick, don't count on the color named on your right.
TL:DR; be mindful of how likely you are to get the chosen colors, and draft accordingly.
EDIT: @zeth4: I could be wrong but I highly doubt it. Considering the colors chosen are set during draft, and if there was no draft, there would be no colors. I would have to say NO, this cannot produce colorless, and is only good for draft.
