Update : So far, I'm not seeing loads of new ideas. Still lots of "helmet" strategies. I'm not sure this box is worth it. Everything can fit into the base box if you remove the insert (I own everything as of Jan 2019). The conclaves are ok, but are really brought down by the fact that you are going to have to sift through every damn card at the end of your game to rebuild the conclave sets. Loads of work to do that. What they should have done, is release this box once ALL content for the game has been released, and then released "fixed conclaves/cubes" to be used. That would have solved everything, and *might* have justified the large box - which is still only 1/3 full. Before Conclave, I was able to fit all things MV in the base box, with room to spare for TG. With Conclave, 1/3 of the box is used up. I sure hope they release enough (good, fresh, and new mechanics) content to fill the other 2/3 of this box. I paid $23.50 for a ding dent copy, and thats about what its worth to me. If AEG was kind enough to release the conclaves info, you could easily homebrew everything meaningful in this "expansion". The $36 price tag would have been justifiable if they had included all the promos.

Conclave provides a great way to play with 5 or 6 players with little to no downtime, and a great big oversize box to hold all your cards and way more. The only thing I wish is that it included a way to organize the sets from the Twilight Garden Expansion which was released shortly after the Conclave box. Each of the other expansions can be mixed into different theme groups, and it would have been nice if they could have anticipated the next release with it in mind.

Mystic Vale is a fun take on the drafting formula, and, importantly, the Conclave expansion is my first exposure to the idea of 2 players taking turns simultaneously in games with more players. The system is very clever, making 5 and 6 player games much quicker than they would otherwise be. Mystic Vale's fantasy theme is also very fun and makes for some really cool and powerful moments when your engine really starts coming together. Great game!
