Planechase 2012, officially styled as Planechase (2012 Edition), is a set of four "game packs", each consisting of ten oversized plane cards, a 60-card deck, a six-sided planar die and a strategy insert with multiplayer rules.[2][3] It was released in June, 2012.

Details

Planechase 2012 is built on the same Planar Magic variant format as its predecessor Planechase.[4] Each player has, in addition to their deck, an additional randomized deck consisting of at least ten oversized plane cards, their Planar deck. At any given moment, one of the plane cards of one players' Planar decks is face-up and its effect is active.

Any player can roll the planar die during their turn at any time they could cast a sorcery, and re-roll as many times as they want with each roll costing {1} more than the previous one. If the die shows the planeswalker symbol ({PW}), the current active plane is put on the bottom of its owners deck, and the player who rolled the die reveals the top card of their deck as the new plane. If the chaos symbol ({CHAOS}) is rolled, a specific effect on the currently revealed plane is triggered.

Planechase 2012 introduced a new card type, Phenomenon. Phenomena are similar to plane cards and are also put into the Planar deck, but represent one-time effects. When a Phenomenon is revealed, its effect is triggered, and then the player planeswalks to the next plane.[5]

Planechase 2012 introduced new, eternal format legal cards to the game. There were a total of 21 new cards between the four decks. Each deck had six new cards, with one card appearing in every deck. Three cards reprinted in the set featured new artwork. They are Armored Griffin, Concentrate, and Dark Hatchling.

When Planechase 2012 came out, there were release events. These features a special promo card that was not included in any of the four decks: Stairs to Infinity.[6]
