Planechase

Template:Expansion Nonblock Planechase 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. The set will be released on September 4th, 2009, with release events held held September 4-6.

The plane cards represent specific locations on planes in the Magic storyline, introducing "a groundbreaking new way to experience planeswalking". The theme decks are tournament legal and will each contain eight rares. Additionally, there will be a different preview card from the upcoming set Zendikar in each of the four decks.

Planar Magic

Planechase introduces a new casual format named Planar Magic, which simulates traveling between different planes using the new plane cards. The set comes with a six-sided planar dice, that features the planeswalker symbol File:Planeswalker symbol bw.png on one face, the chaos symbol File:Chaos symbol.png on another and four blank faces.

Each player enters the game with a regular deck and a planar deck, which features ten or more of the new plane cards. The first player to start puts the first card in his planar deck face-up in the command zone. A plane card usually has two abilities. The first one applies as long as the card is revealed, the second one is the so called chaos ability.

During each player's turn, that player may roll the planar dice, whenever he or she could cast a sorcery. While the first roll each turn is free, all subsequent rolls in that turn cost more than the last. If the File:Planeswalker symbol bw.png 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. If File:Chaos symbol.png is rolled the chaos ability of the plane card triggers. With blank faces, nothing happens.
