Plane
A plane is a self-contained world or universe of any size found within the multiverse. While planes can be governed by any conceivable set of rules and natural laws, or even indeed inconceivable ones, most planes visited in the storyline are comfortably similar to Earth.[1]
Card type
Template:Navigation CRPlanechase introduced plane cards, that represent specific locations on various planes. Each plane card has a subtype corresponding to the plane the location is found on. Plane cards are the size of two regular magic cards side by side.

Storyline
There are almost infinite planes in the multiverse, separated from each other by the space known as Blind Eternities which is filled with chaotic energies, including Æther and mana. The inhabitants of most of these planes have no idea that theirs is not the only universe, or indeed the only world—generally only planeswalkers know that, and are able to travel intentionally between planes.[2]
Although Planes are sometimes thought to be a seperate world occupying the same universe as other planes, each plane is a seperate universe in its own right, with few planes having multiple worlds, possibly with some inhabitable ones. In this case, with the exception of artificial planes, most if not all planes can be considered more akin to alternate realities, with Dominaria, being the center of Multiverse, being the prime reality. However these realities are usually very different from each other, suggesting that planeswalkers cannot planeswalk between planes that are too similar.
Planes are known to "move" in relation to each other. Additionally new planes are constantly created, while others drift out of existence.[3]
Natural planes
Natural planes are naturally occurring worlds that just came into existence at some point. Most known planes just have one central, populated world, and the entire plane is typically named after it. However, it is possible that in vast universes with billions of galaxies and stars, other populated worlds also exist.[4]
Artificial planes
There are also artificial planes, worlds created usually by planeswalkers with sheer will[3]. The creator of such a world defines all of its rules. These planes however, are unstable and eventually collapse if there is nothing to sustain their existence (like a constant flow of mana or technical means such as flowstone). These planes are most likely surrounded by an amount of real space that prevents them from being destroyed by the Blind Eternities. However this pocket of space eventually wears out after which the Blind Eternities destroy the plane, however this takes a long time.
