The Confluences are a group of modal card cycles featuring instants and sorceries with three modes. When cast you pick three modes, including the same mode multiple times. For this reason, each confluence can be cast as nine different spells.
Description
The first cycle of confluences was mono-colored and printed in Commander 2015. Since then, a shard cycle has been printed in New Capenna Commander.
