Meeting of the Five tutors five permanents simultaneously — one of each basic land type — and puts them directly onto the battlefield, making it one of the most explosive mana rituals ever printed in five-color decks. The cost is the deck-building constraint: your 99 must actually support all five basic land types to maximize it, and at five mana it's a mid-game play, not an opener.

Meeting of the Five is a Commander card through and through — the five-color permanent tutor is only meaningful when your deck is built around all five colors, and that's Commander's domain. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer it's technically legal but has no practical home: sixty-card formats don't run five-color goodstuff piles that want a five-mana do-nothing at sorcery speed, and competitive options in those formats cost less and demand less. Vintage has the raw power to support five-color shells but Meeting of the Five still competes against fast mana and tutors that win the game rather than set up the board. Oathbreaker is the one other format where a five-color commander makes the card worth considering, since the 58-card singleton structure mirrors Commander's constraints.

Price Context
Current price
$0.31 bulk tier
At $0.31, Meeting of the Five sits firmly in bulk territory despite being one of the most powerful tutor effects printed for five-color Commander decks. The price reflects narrow demand — only true five-color builds want it — but for those decks it's a near-auto-include at essentially no cost.
