To build a full foil set such as this would require opening at least 45 booster boxes at a rate of one foil rare/mythic rare per box. Current market price (~$650.00/box) suggests this would cost at least $29,250 assuming you had perfect collation (Nearly Impossible!). These Magic Online sets are also superior to hand collation as they are factory fresh.
Conflux is the second set in the Alara block and is the forty-eighth Magic expansion. The prerelease events for this set were held January 31-February 1, 2009. Conflux was the first small set to be reduced in size and to contain the new mythic rarity The set contains 145 black-bordered cards (60 commons, 40 uncommons, 35 rares, 10 mythic rares). Conflux continues the Shards of Alara 's multicolor theme, expanding on it by introducing five-colored cards. Aside from the multicolor theme the set makes use of the mechanics introduced in the previous set. The set featured the return of Nicol Bolas, via the card Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker. The expansion symbol of the set is a representation of the five converging shards. The set was accompanied by the first Planeswalker novel: Agents of Artifice, written by Ari Marmell.
Mechanics
All the shard keywords were back. Colored artifact creatures were still there. Bant still had their exalted ability. Jund still devour. Grixis raised their dead by unearth and Naya's "power 5 or greater" theme continued. In many ways, Conflux was a big continuation of Shards of Alara, except that there was no room for color hate because the shards had become aware of each other.
In Conflux, Domain became an ability word. The set also introduced basic land cycling for which there is a cycle of common cards (also regular cycling appears on two cards). Progenitus was the first to have "protection from everything" as an actual card effect. There was also a five-color theme, notably Fusion Elemental at uncommon.
Notable Cards
- Knight of the Reliquary — heavily played in Standard, Extended and Legacy midrange decks.
- Maelstrom Archangel — a very popular Mythic rare which allows its controller to play a free spell whenever it does damage. In Standard Five-Color-Control decks, this was typically the engine by which players could play Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker
- Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker — a highly sought-after card when it first came out; has since shown to have little competitive-play value, due to its unruly mana cost, but is still valued reasonably as a noteworthy and flavorful card; a favorite of Timmy and Vorthos. Notable for being the first tri-colored Planeswalker.
- Noble Hierarch — often used in various formats mostly for mana fixing and acceleration.
- Path to Exile — considered the successor Swords to Plowshares, and is run in many decks in Legacy, Modern, Extended, and Standard.
- Progenitus — One of the most powerful, and arguably most difficult to hardcast, creatures, often played in combo decks in Standard, Extended and Legacy.
- Exotic Orchard is a particularly effective mana-fixing land for multiplayer formats
- Countersquall has seen sporadic play in blue-black control decks in Modern
- Banefire was played in many Standard aggro decks as both a removal spell and a finisher that could not be stopped by control decks
- Ancient Ziggurat has helped aggro decks such as Humans in Modern play spells that heavily restrictive mana costs
- Lapse of Certainty is one of only a few non-restrictive white counterspells, and close to a colorshifted Memory Lapse
- Conflux is one of only a few cards to be named after the set in which they are printed

What is an MOL set? |
|
The Magic Online Redemption Program is a feature on Magic Online that allows a player with a complete digital set on Magic Online to have those cards converted to a complete paper copy of the same set. The digital cards are deleted from the player's account and a the player is sent a corresponding full set of physical cards. A redemption set comes sealed in a shrink-wrapped box with a label on it indicating what set is inside and whether it is regular (non-foil) or premium (foil). As a general rule, Magic Online sets became available for redemption roughly one month after they were released. Each set would be available while supplies lasted or until its Cutoff Date, whichever came first. MOL SETS ARE CONSIDERED THE PROOF SETS OF MTG ! |
What is in the box? |
|
Each MOL set includes one (1) copy of each card in that set, with the box indicating if either a regular set (non-foil) or premium (foil).

That's why these are perfect for those looking to open cards in the best condition possible! THESE SETS ARE OF INVESTMENT GRADE QUALITY AND PROVIDE THE BEST |
