Conflux is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
Search your library for a white card, a blue card, a black card, a red card, and a green card. Reveal those cards, put them into your hand, then shuffle.
Complete guide
Conflux is the ultimate five-color sorcery, representing the convergence of all mana on the plane of Alara. This powerful spell allows you to reach into your library and pull out a devastating tool for every color of the Magic spectrum. While it requires a significant mana investment, the sheer card advantage it provides can end a game on the spot.
What It Does
Conflux is a tutor spell that looks for five specific colors: white, blue, black, red, and green. When you cast it, you search your library for one card of each color, reveal them to show your opponents they meet the criteria, and put them into your hand. You are not required to find all five cards if you don't want to, or if your library doesn't contain a specific color, but you must shuffle your library afterward regardless of how many you found.
How It Resolves Step by Step
First, Conflux is put onto the stack. Once it resolves, you begin the search process. You look through your library for up to five cards, ensuring each one satisfies a different color requirement. Note that a multicolored card can fulfill any one of its color requirements; for example, a white-blue card can count as your white card. After selecting your choices, you must reveal them to all players. Finally, you place those cards into your hand and shuffle your library.
Common Mistakes
One common misconception is that you cannot pick the same multicolored card for two different slots. While one physical card cannot occupy two slots in your hand, you can use two different copies of the same multicolored card to fill two slots. For example, if you have two copies of a white-blue card in your deck, you can find one as your white card and the second as your blue card. Another mistake is forgetting that you can choose to find fewer than five cards even if they are available in your library.
When to Play It
Because Conflux costs eight mana and requires all five colors, it is typically a finisher in Commander or high-power casual decks. You should play it when you have a safe opening to tap out, as it will likely draw you into your most powerful board wipes, win conditions, or protection spells. It is especially effective when you need to assemble a multi-part combo that spans across several colors.
Interaction examples
Blasphemous ActIf the board is cluttered with creatures, you can use Conflux to search for Blasphemous Act as your red card. This allows you to immediately follow up with a cheap board wipe to clear the path for your other four tutored cards.
Rise of the Dark RealmsDuring the late game, you can cast Conflux to find Rise of the Dark Realms as your black card choice. By revealing this card, you signal to your opponents that you are prepared to resurrect every creature in the game's graveyards on your next turn.
When resolving Conflux alone, you can choose to find only a single green card if you wish to hide the rest of your deck's contents. While less efficient, the rules permit you to find any number from zero to five, as long as each card found matches a color you haven't already fulfilled during that specific search.
