What's wrong with this set? Jesus Christ the cards are so awful it blows my mind.

Even in Limited, it'd hard to imagine this being really amazing. If the fixing is there, maybe. Even then, there ought to be better reasons to go deep with it than this.
Wow 2 blue rares in the same night that are absolutely horrible. And they both have the same exact mana cost too. What is going on, man? Are they really THAT afraid to print good constructed blue cards anymore?

Jace, Vryn's Prodigy was just printed. Blue gets a couple of terrible rares every set, but so does every other color. It is not inaccurate to say that the rares spoiled thus far have not been amazing outside of the utility stuff and gideon- seriously, the best rares/mythics in the set so far are gideon, lands, and removal spells. That doesn't mean that there aren't any goodies still hiding out.

Yeah I know I'm probably overreacting. I don't play that much constructed anyways so I don't have that much to complain about. I would just hate opening this in a pack lol.

Uh, All 3 planeswalkers, some lands, removal, quite a few of the eldrazi...
I agree with most of the comments on the color fixing. Between convergence, the gold cards, and the reprint of sylvan scrying it makes me wonder if there isn't a land that reads something like
Sea Gate-Legendary Land
Tap to add a mana of each color of allies you control to your mana pool.
So if you had a green, a red, and a blue ally in play it would tap for GRU. It would probably come into play tapped, or have a colorless activation cost, or both...But something along those lines would begin to put the crazy color requirements back into a semblance of sanity for me. It would also be somewhat flavorful, for what that's worth.
So at best it's WUBRG for tap 5 creatures and a repeatable WUBRG to scry 3. That's disappointing. At the very least I would have hoped that the activation also added an extra counter.
I'll just keep playing Red, thanks. Red in Limited, Red in Constructed. Red in Commander.

Better splash something if you wanna board wipe in constructed. Seriously, Radiant Flames makes me so mad I want to throw stuff. Want a weenie sweeper in my UR deck? Better splash a third color to get those */3 creatures, or it's a three mana Pyroclasm. Best way to make a splash? Fetch for tangolands, which meens Shivan Reef and all other non-basics are suddenly out of the equation, since I need to cast Radiant Flames on turn three. I'm forced to play fetches and lots of basic to play a staple type card.

Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Man, I really wish this thing had "Remove a prism counter from Prism Array: Tap X target creatures, where X is the number of prism counters on Prism Array." Assuming it works within the rules, of course.
Or maybe "WUBRG: Scry 3, then put a prism counter on Prism Array."
Or at the very least, keep the tapped creatures from untapping next turn. Give this card SOMETHING else. ANYTHING else.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
The cards so terrible and terrible designed that it makes you wonder how THIS made it throu development and playtesting.
It sure does its job in Limited to simply tap down some stuff and randomly scry after that ; but its a rare ... and its completly random in its abilities.
This card gets a price for being completly stupid ...
Someone has to be responsible for this mess, really ...
Damn this card is bad. I need 4 Birds of Paradise just to use this card.

Converge has the same flaw as Sunburst, you have to pay the full cost regardless of number of colors.
Sunburst and Converge should have been X cmc based.
To be fair, the 2/2 flyer with Converge has X, and with the red sweeper, Converge actually gives some added utility in theory. Otherwise, yeah, Converge kinda sucks so far.

Formerly Angrypossum over at the now-defunct WotC forums.
So they're pushing 5-color decks just as soon as Mana Confluence and Sylvan Caryatid are rotating out, with replacements for neither of them in sight. That's... kinda weird.

Jace, Vryn's Prodigy says hi! The card is now seeing modern and legacy play I guess he's okay....
