The last year-named core set
What this set is
Magic 2015 is the last core set named for a year. Magic Origins replaced it the following summer, and after that the line paused until Core Set 2019.
Convoke returns from Ravnica as its theme: you may tap your creatures to help pay for a convoke spell, each one paying for one generic mana or one mana of its color. The set has six planeswalkers, including Garruk, Apex Predator and Nissa, Worldwaker, and six new legendary creatures.
Commander players know it for The Chain Veil, Reclamation Sage and a reprint of Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
