Overall, I think there are some cute cards, and out of 56 cards, you can only expect so much. I always feel like the Commander products should have more solid cards than what COMM15 seems to have... maybe that is just me though.
Inclusions
- Fiery Confluence
- Mystic Confluence
- Meren of Clan Nel Toth (I have 6 cards per guild)
Testing
- Magus of the Wheel
- Great Oak Guardian (really hoping for this to be viable)
Since i run more guild cards than i should, i had hoped for more good cards in especially Boros and Simic.
But i'm loving the Fiery Confluence, Meren and Oak, really interesting cards.
We prefer to test a lot and have them not make it than miss a weaker looking gem.
Includes:
Meren<-Garruk
Fiery Confluence<-Radiant Flames
Mystic Confluence<-Scatter to the Winds
Testing (Optimistic):
Magus of the Wheel<-Hell’s Thunder
MIzzix's Mastery<-Tempt with Vengeance
Gigantoplasm<-Rite of Replication
Great Oak Guardian<-Managorger Hydra
T&N<-Edge of Autumn (not a COMM15 new card, but part of this update due to Mizzix's Mastery and Great Oak Guardian)
Radiant Confluence<-Wall of Reverence
Testing (Pessimistic):
Illusory Ambusher<-Into the Roil
Centaur Vinecrasher<-Vengevine
Private Mod Note
():
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
I primarily play limited, so most of my spoiler season comments view cards through that lens.
Tentatively Testing: Arachnogenesis: I've never run a fog effect in cube but figured I'd test this out.
I'm extremely hopeful that the black confluence will be cubable and continue to fantasize about what it could be. My newest dream:
Cruel Confluence 3BB
-Target player discards a card.
-Target creature gets -2/-2.
-Sacrifice a creature, return target creature from your graveyard to the battlefield.
This.. it it. Rather short list, and not as exciting as the commander deck before this. But decent enough.
Not too many cards, but I'll take quality or quantity any day. BFZ had a decent amount of playable cards but nothing exciting, these 2 confluences alone are enough to shake things up in a big way.
Having a cube-bonanza this weekend with cuttups & pals, and made proxy versions of:
Verdant Confluence
Fiery Confluence
Mystic Confluence
Gigantoplasm
Magus of the Wheel
Meren of Clan Nel Toth
So stoked. I wish there was an english version of the new black 4/2 but what can you do. We can test that one later.
I think it will be good, and for any time you die on the trigger, the extra cards probably win you the game some amount. I wish it had another ability, but I'm greedy so there's that.
I think this year hits about what I expect from a commander set maybe a few less fringe cards worth trying. Much weaker for those looking for reprints to help build a cube. And no there isn't a random crazy legacy card to offset the costs but Mystic Confluence is in the top power level of cube cards we have gotten from these sets. I think it is up there with True Name, Toxic Deluge and Baleful Strix for how long it will stay in my cube.
My Includes:
Mystic Confluence
Fiery Confluence
My Testing Cards:
Grasp of Fate
Magus of the Wheel
Kaseto, Orochi Archmage

I got exactly ZERO modern-frame reprints of interest.
I think its going to just be the Blue and Red confluences for me, possibly Magus of the Wheel.
Compared to 2014 which gave us:
Daretti
Feldon
Dualcaster Mage
Song of the Dryads
Flesh Carver
Hallowed Spiritkeeper
Malicious Affliction
Ob Nixilis
Freyalise
Titania
Jazal
Plus, for me, a reprint of Goblin Welder in modern frame.
I play only half of those cards, and not all of those that I play have a safe spot, so ymmv
