Conspire

Can you conspire more than once? I had someone telling me that Burn Trail would be great as a 2 of in my deck for block constructed and I was like "ya I can pretty much see that doing 6 damage every time" but they explain it to me like it was almost a storm effect, so if I had 6 creatures on the board I'd be able to conspire 3 times and copy the spell for 12 damage.

Is that right?

You can only conspire once. (As you play this spell, you may tap two untapped creatures you control that share a color with it. When you do, copy it and you may choose a new target for the copy.) Conspire works as you play the spell. You don't play a copied spell, it gets copied onto the stack, so you never have the chance to conspire.

ZW was pretty close.

However, you can actually conspire it once for each instance of conspire a spell has. For example, if you had a Wort, the Raidmother out and played a burn trail you could conspire it twice if you had 4 untapped red creatures.

When you conspire a spell, the copy goes directly to the stack, so you have no chance to conspire it. The original can be copied for each instance of conspire, like animefan said.
