Meeting of the Five

Strategy & Gameplay

Meeting of the Five is a powerful five-color sorcery from Streets of New Capenna that serves as both a mana accelerant and spell selection engine for dedicated three-color decks. At eight mana total, this card is designed for mid-to-late game scenarios where you're looking to fuel multiple spell casts while simultaneously filtering through your library for the exact cards you need. The mechanics work synergistically: you exile ten cards from the top of your library and gain the ability to cast any spells with exactly three colors among those exiled cards this turn, while simultaneously generating a substantial amount of five-color mana that can only be spent on three-color spells. This dual functionality makes Meeting of the Five particularly attractive for three-color midrange and control decks that want to execute their game plan with consistency while maintaining explosive turns. The card fits naturally into established three-color archetypes across multiple formats, particularly in Pioneer and Modern where decks like three-color midrange, control mirrors, and even some combo strategies can leverage the card advantage and mana production. In Commander and casual formats, it becomes an excellent tool for five-color generals or three-color focused strategies that want to maximize efficiency. Meeting of the Five is legal across historic, timeless, gladiator, pioneer, modern, legacy, vintage, penny, commander, oathbreaker, and brawl formats, giving players numerous options for deck construction. Players seeking Meeting of the Five want a card that consolidates mana production with selection, allowing for explosive turns that outpace opponents through superior resource management and the ability to cast multiple relevant spells without flooding mana.
