I'll say Rhino, but frankly Scaled Wurm is worth considering. Having played Conspiracy, a lategame vanilla beater is frankly worth it. You wouldn't want too many, but having one would be nice.

If woodsage hits a wolf, doesn't it hit all the wolves? I guess there is a real danger of milling yourself out.

I might actually draft this tonight...

Wood Sage or Wurm. Wurm's big, but Wood Sage searches us cards (and has good odds of hitting a wolf). The Sage also might end up milling us.

Wurm.

Chariot is decent

Chariot is surprisingly decent, but I'd rather have Provoke. Pro tip: mess with a combat you're not involved in to potentially 2-for-1 the table by forcing a trade that neither player expected or wanted (or, just 1-for-1 the poor shmuck whose creature you untapped). Or play politics and screw over the attacker by untapping something awesome.

Let me talk for a minute about spot removal in Conspiracy: It is, surprisingly, still good.. Oftentimes, it comes down to there being this THING (could be a Hydra Omnivore, could be a Grudge Keeper) that the table, less its controller, wants DEAD. Making this thing dead is probably good for your own survival, both because the THING is not on the table to hurt you anymore, and because you just got good will from everyone who didn't just lose their bomb.

Decent logic, except we may never see a chariot again and provoke wheels and is still a 22nd or 23rd card, whereas chariot makes all of your earlier drops into 5 drops and your later drops into bananas drops. It also suits up those 2/6 landchantments into uber-blocking 4/8s. Provoke is cute, but I like it more in a deathtouch-heavy deck.

Tough, but I'll say Chariot. Makes somebody big then sticks around to do it again.

This.

I'm always amazed how late the Spies go. Always in this case meaning the one time I drafted conspiracy.
