Behind the Door

I know Story card’s effects are able to be initated
by the player who won that story but are all
Conspiracy cards worded like Story cards?
Conspiracy cards effects indicate if
the effect is initiated upon winning
the conspiracy. If they do not indicate
the effect is optionally triggered upon
winning, then the effect is a passive
effect that is always active and resolves
as indicated on the card. NOTE:
Conspiracy cards are not considered to
have a controller, and any instance of
the word “you” or “your” refers to all
players.
Can I lose an icon struggle if I have no
characters committed to that story?
Yes. The story icons still resolve and if
you did not win the icon struggle but
your opponent did, you are considered
the loser of that struggle

This seems like a conspiracy that jumps from a 1-star to a 3- or even 4-star in a Serpent deck.  I know Carthoris commented that it didn't help his Serpent deck as much as he'd hoped, but I still can't see it not being a boon for such a deck.  I'm looking forward to playtesting my version - Serpents along with Amaranth, Tattooed Thug, and Tragic Celebrity to hopefully take full advantage of this conspiracy.  It seems like any opponent would be foolish to challenge Serpents at this conspiracy.
