A powerful and infinitely sinister force is conspiring to reunite the shards of Alara. This reunification will come with a deadly price: sheer chaos, as realities begin to overlap. Thus begins the Conflux. At its center is a name long feared. A name spoken only in hushed tones. A planeswalker so powerful that he alone can engineer the chaos that has seized the shards. Nicol Bolas has returned, and this elder dragon has placed agents everywhere, fomenting violent destruction. But to what end? Bolas's ultimate goal is still unknown.
