Meeting of the Five - Extended Art (Foil) (SNC)

Meeting of the Five

• Casting Cost: {3}{W}{U}{B}{R}{G}
• Card Type: Sorcery
• Card Text:
  • Exile the top ten cards of your library. You may cast spells with exactly three colors from among them this turn.
  • Add WWUUBBRRGG. Spend this mana only to cast spells with exactly three colors.

Card Summary: Meeting of the Five is a multicolored sorcery with a complex but potentially powerful effect. Here's how it works:

1. As you cast Meeting of the Five, you must pay its mana cost, which includes one white mana, one blue mana, one black mana, one red mana, one green mana, and three generic mana. This makes it a highly mana-intensive spell.

2. When Meeting of the Five resolves, you exile the top ten cards of your library. This means you remove these cards from the game temporarily.

3. During the same turn, you have the option to cast spells with exactly three colors from among the exiled cards. Spells that are precisely three colors (such as cards with a white, blue, and black color identity) are eligible for casting. Spells with fewer or more colors do not qualify.

4. Additionally, Meeting of the Five generates a significant amount of mana in the form of WWUUBBRRGG, which is ten mana in total, with one of each color. However, this mana can only be spent to cast spells that have exactly three colors. It cannot be used for other purposes.

Deck Considerations:

• Meeting of the Five is most effective in decks that heavily emphasize three-color spells and strategies. Decks with a diverse range of multicolored cards benefit the most from this sorcery.

• It's important to include a variety of three-color spells in your deck to make the most of Meeting of the Five's exile effect.

• The generated mana can be significant, so consider including high-cost three-color spells that you can cast with this mana.

• Be mindful of the intensive mana cost of Meeting of the Five itself, as it requires a substantial investment in mana sources or mana-fixing to be cast reliably.

Overall Impression: Meeting of the Five is a card designed for decks that are built around the concept of three-color spells. It offers both the opportunity to cast such spells from exile and a substantial mana boost to support these casting costs. However, its high mana cost and specific deck requirements make it a niche card that is most effective in specialized decks.
