Conflux Magic The Gathering Cards
Conflux follows the new publishing standards set by Wizards of the Coast in Shards of Alara.
That is, mythic rares are included in one out of every eight packs.
Intro packs contain 41 cards and one booster pack, and replace
pre-constructed theme decks.[1]
This set also contains more prismatic cards, including one named after
the set, which allows you to get 1 card of each color from your library
and put them into your hand.
Elements of adverse reactions to the other Shards come into play in
this set, as the story showcases that the Shards are being forced
together in a ring, constantly raking against one another causing
untold amounts of disasters among the shards. Esper finds itself
clashing with Grixis and Bant, Bant is wedged between Esper and Naya,
Naya finds its way between Bant and Jund, Jund conflicts with Grixis
and Naya, and Grixis is pressed between Esper and Jund.
Nicol Bolas, who was once rumored to be in the set, was actually
included as a planeswalker. This card was originally printed in the
Legends set as a creature, but is now being reprinted as "Nicol Bolas,
Planeswalker", with the same mana colors he had originally; Black Blue
Red. These colors represent Nicol Bolas's existence on the Grixis
shard. Wizards of the Coast released pictures of the new planeswalker
including a mural that will appear on the new booster boxes.
This set continues on the Shards of Alara set's Exalted, Unearth, and Devour mechanics, as well as adds the following ability:
Domain - This is an ability word which refers to an effect involving the number of basic land types among lands you control (Anywhere from 0-5). One such example is Matca Rioters, whose power and toughness are defined by the number of different basic land types you control. This ability is accompanied by Basic Landcycling, similar to previous forms of deck-searching cycling, where any basic land can be fetched for the cost.
