Planechase (2009) 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. The MSRP for an individual pack is $19.99. [1] The set was released on September 4th, 2009, with release events held September 4-6.

The theme decks are tournament legal and each contains eight rares. Additionally, there was a different preview card from the upcoming set Zendikar in each of the four decks.

more than the last. [3] If the is rolled, the owner of the current face-up plane card puts it on the bottom of his planar deck and the current player reveals the top card of his or her planar deck.
