This has a dismal floor but the ceiling is pretty high here, assuming you're running a spells deck (and hey, this thing potentially increases your storm count by 3...).

Collected Company except Sorcery. Agree it's kinda weird that it doesn't hits Instants as well, but good card nonetheless.
Seems like yet another tool for Electro-Balance/End decks. Not like they need any more of those, but hey, at least it has a home in Modern, I guess.
So it's ok for green to get up to two bodies with etb's at instant speed, but the colors that focus on spells matters have to settle with sorceries. Ugh, that's gross. I know that six mana worth of sorceries can be good with deckbuilding, just doesn't feel right that green still got to be instant speed.
Ya, but creatures are good. Sorceries are generally very questionable and frequently lumped in with instants.
Also the majority of "spellslinger" cards deal with both instants and sorceries because they're both "spells", just at different speeds. It's so weird for a card like this to only mention sorceries.

Wait, what? It's harder to cast, it's a sorcery itself, and it only gets sorceries? I'm usually annoyed whenever people are like, "this should cost 1 less and be a sliver and also cantrip" but I really don't think this would have been unfair being an instant and also finding instants. Very disappointing. Many instants are reactive anyway, so they wouldn't even be good if you could play them.
I wonder what Cuneo's reveal was like. At work, so can't watch right now, but it's gotta be tough feigning interest in a card that so clearly wanted to be better. How is a professional magic player's first reaction to seeing this card not "Why is it not instants as well?" It's gotta be tough selling cards like this to players who can respond negatively, especially when it's deserved.
I think it only hits sorceries because hitting a duplicate spell might be too strong
Oh wow, I think you're right. At first I thought you meant a duplicate (noun) spell, like just another Collective Conjuring, rather than a duplicate (verb) spell, like Twincast. Of course, that means your original Collective Conjuring only gets one "real" hit, but if you can keep chaining, that is pretty degenerate.
Hitting a twincast during the resolution of Collected Conjuring and targeting the conjuring that is resolving on the stack is legal. However, when twincast goes to resolve, Collected Conjuring will no longer be on the stack to copy, and twincast will fizzle.
Edit: It's like Redirecting a counterspell onto redirect to counter the counterspell. Same with hitting Twincast with Epic Experiment

Come watch me stream over at my twitch channel. I play Loam Pox, Ad Nauseam, and jank in modern on MTGO.

I don't think this would work because Conjuring has to resolve in its entierty before you can cast the spells it hits, which means that Conjuring isn't on the stack to be duplicated.

Edit: IIRC, they now CMC = the total of both sides, thus not working but I'm not 100% sure.
