A planeswalker deck is a preconstructed theme deck designed by Wizards of the Coast as a starter product for beginning Magic players. Planeswalker decks replace Intro packs starting with Kaladesh. [1]
Description
Each set will feature two Planeswalker Decks, each built around a different Planeswalker. Those Planeswalkers will be characters relevant to that block. Each Planeswalker Deck will be a 60-card deck and will be packaged with two booster packs from that block with an MSRP of $14.99. The Planeswalker Decks will be released in each of the eleven languages that Magic is published in.
The decks will play into mechanical themes of the block, most often making use of a new keywordmechanic. The default will be that the decks will be two-color even if the Planeswalker is monocolor.
Special cards
Each Planeswalker deck features five cards that won't be found in the corresponding expansion, but that will be considered connected to that block for Standard legality (meaning Planeswalker Decks will be playable in Standard).
- One copy of a mythic rare planeswalker, designed to be fun and flavorful but not pushed for tournament play. Expensive to cast and splashy.
- Two copies of a rare spell that has an effect and also tutors for the specific planeswalker. The rare usually will cost one mana less than the planeswalker. It only looks for the Planeswalker Deck's version of the planeswalker and not any version.
- Three copies of an uncommon permanent that is enhanced by having the planeswalker on the battlefield.
- Four copies of a common flavored to the Planeswalker with a basic staple effect.
- Four copies of an appropriate common dual land.
