This set also contains more five-colored cards, including one named after the set. The storyline focuses on the chaos which results from the Shards being forced together in a ring, constantly raking against one another. Esper finds itself clashing with Grixis and Bant, Bant is wedged between Esper and Naya, Naya finds its way between Bant and Jund, Jund conflicts with Grixis and Naya, and Grixis is pressed between Esper and Jund.

Nicol Bolas, originally printed as a dragon creature in the Legends set, returned in Conflux via the card "Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker." Like the original, the planeswalker card is red, blue and black, representing Nicol Bolas's existence on the Grixis shard. In advance of the set's release, Wizards of the Coast published artwork featuring the new planeswalker, including a mural which appeared on the set's booster boxes.

Domain - This is an ability word which refers to an effect involving the number of basic land types among lands you control (Anywhere from 0-5). One such example is Matca Rioters, whose power and toughness are defined by the number of different basic land types you control. This ability is accompanied by Basic Landcycling, similar to previous forms of deck-searching cycling, where any basic land can be fetched for the cost.
