INTRODUCTION
The Planechase plane cards introduce a groundbreaking new way to experience
planeswalking. Through this innovative new kind of card, two or more players
can battle each other across a variety of diverse worlds, each with its own
unique effect on the game. These thrilling new conditions add a whole new
layer of chaos, meaning the only thing you can count on is unpredictability.

There will be four Planechase Game Packs: Elemental Thunder, Metallic
Dreams, Strike Force, and Zombie Empire.
Each game pack will contain 10 all-new plane cards, a ready-to-play 60-card
deck, a six-sided planar die and a Planechase strategy insert with
multiplayer rules. Each of the 60-card decks will include 8 rares, and will
be composed of cards from throughout Magic's history - including a preview
card from Zendikar. The 10 oversized plane cards comprise a planar deck.
They feature all-new artwork depicting some of the more exotic realms of the
Magic multiverse. Each of the cards in the 60-card decks will be
black-bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal
for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal.
