What to Expect with Planechase in March of the Machine Commander! | Magic: The Gathering MTG Rules 

I would kill for a Nyx playmat. That art is just insane.

Really wish we got all the new planes as separate bundle for purchase, just to supplement my planes deck from the planechase anthology.

This would be an awesome rule set for a story mode for arena

03:13 I really do hope we see Planechase become more of a staple for Magic. Its been so long since people played, I’ve seen many channels refer to this optional house rule as the actual way to play. I know back in the day we played this way because 1 person owned all the planechase cards so nobody actually designed their own planechase deck.

The fact that there can be two rares in a draft pack and there is a "mystical archive" for all the cool legends will make march of the machines prerelease a very unique experience.

LOVE that Planechase is returning to the spotlight! I am an avid fan of the variant. So much so, that we have reviewed a little more than half of the 86 previous Planechase planes and phenomenons over the last year on our RU-vid channel (MTG Burgeoning). During these reviews, we offered insight on how to build Commander decks around the planes' static abilities. Planechase is a staple of our play-group's Commander games and we CANNOT WAIT to get our hands on those new planes. The newly designed planar dice are also VERY aesthetically pleasing. PLANECHASE IS BACK BABY!!!!!!

Got the Planechase Anthology back in the day and have been itching for more ever since. Super happy to see it come back!

I absolutely love planechase in commander. When we get bored of the normal format when switch it up with planechase to throw in some chaos lol.

Plane Chase in these precons is half the reason I'll be going to pick one up. I'm extremely excited for em!

This is so incredibly helpful...thank you Gavin

Favorite way to play. Thanks so much for bringing it back.

Really happy to see another round PlaneChase! Hoping this isn’t just a one off, and there will be more in some way in the year, but even if this is all for now, hype to try more new Plane & Phenomena.

Thanks for this! Glad to see more planes for the mechanic.

Love Planechase! So excited to add to my planar stack.

I know this is a video on Planechase, but I have a question on Battle. In a multiplayer game, what incentive do other players have to attack the battle? If I'm reading the current wording properly, the controller/player who cast the battle gets the back half no matter who destroys it.

Glad to see it back, kinda annoying that I can't get the planechase cards seperatly from the commander decks.

That's fun little additional mech. Interested to see how they go.

Love it that Planechase is back! :D

i love the "eternities map" variant of Planechase, is just awesome

I love the flavour , you guys are great. Planechase came out during my break from Magic and I only really understand them now, so thanks! My game plan doesn't enjoy chaos elements like not knowing what the future planes would be, its a bit too much like flux ;) . What do you think of the idea that planewalkers who are native to the visited plane, like Chandra to Kaladesh would get boosted while on their plane?

Don't own any planechase cards but our playgroup tried it out with an online simulator for our commander game and it was very fun

I'm excited for the return of planechase.

Please talk about Eternity Map! It's my favorite way to play with the planechase cards

Need a D&D Planechase deck for my Forgotten Realms Cube

Tinker time might be the thing I’m most stoked for from this set! I live kaladesh and grimlins!

Fantastic fun! A+++++ wizards design!

Love the new addition

EXCITED for planechase cards - just awesome!

I would love to see new Phenomena cards alongside the new planes, so I’m hoping some are included.

Hey Gavin! Is there going to be a reprinting of the planes not reprinted in the precons, so players who didn’t play back when planechase was first released will be able to collect all of the planes?

Looking forward to adding a new dynamic to commander ! :D

i had a game with both selesnya loft gardens which is a doubling season and kharasha foothills which gives creatures myriad absolute chaos with attacking one player creates two additional tokens attacking each other players

I've been preparing my own custom planechase cards for months and having the return of the mechanic might postpone that for quite a while. I'm really looking forward to which planes will be featured and which mechanics will appear alongside them. I'll probably pick up all the new planes to add them to my planechase anthology.

Kinda wish all 10 cards were brand new so that my friends and I could beef up our anthology deck without duplicates.

Planechase is a very fun way of spicing up and making more cahotic a game of commander, but I dislike playing with pre-chosen decks. It feels more fun to just embrace the chaos and put as many planes as possible and deal with it. Side note, the first time I played, we made a house rule that whenever a new plane was planeswalked to, we'd put it next to the one we were in, creating a "map" of the multiverse we could walk back and forth on as the game went. was very fun

I looked into the planechase cards a year ago as a way to introduce some fun variety into my Commander sessions. I don’t quite understand how it works with them being included in these precon decks, though. Can one player with 10 cards use them on their own like when someone’s deck has Daybound or Venture, or would each of the pod need a 10 card deck to use for this gameplay inclusion? It seems like a lot of fun and I hope all will be accessible enough to collect!

Any word on official sleeves and deck box to hold the sleeved deck? Also FOIL Fractured Powerstone please

@ Gavin, will older existing planes be oracled to include the "As Chaos ensues" wording? Cheers

I freaking love planechase and Im so extremely excited for its return!!! Planechase EDH is the best!!

Would be really nice if the Planer Dice and Planes cards could be just incorporated I to Companion.

Are each of the commander decks going to have unique new plane cards or will they share some new plane cards between them? Same for reprinted plane cards.

What is the distribution like on the reprint planes? If I purchase a set of commander decks, will I have all of the planechase planes or are there unique ones from the first round not being reprinted?

I have been a big fan of planeschase for years so I am over the moon to get new planes to add to the fun. That said I dont plan to collect all 5 decks so I am gonna have to work something out to get the new planes

This is a dream come true omg

Planechase is literally perfect for MOM commander decks. I just hope we won’t have to wait another 11 years for more

Lore question, do the shards of alara actually still exist? Or is it all just alara after the conflux?

Do Planechase die rolling work with the reroll cards, like Barbarian Class or Pixie Guide?

A+ execution

We really appreciate the planechase decks and planar die put into the decks without a markup. Really nice move guys, it is apprecisted

Did you reprint fractured powerstone?

I keep seeing the phrase "Each deck has five new planes, four reprint planes, and one phenomenon in it." Does that mean there's 25 new cards, all of which are Planes, or are some of the phenomena new too? So excited to have Planechase back!

I love Planechase! It makes every format so much more fun! Try it with Edh in your next game! It's pricey, but totally worth the money!

3:02 I'd like to announce that canonically the player is a planeswalker

Planechase is back, yay!

Please make a five colored giant commander I had an idea that I thought would be unique, so I think it should have an eminence where you can reveal a giant from your hand and gain 1 life can only activate once and only if you've casted a giant this turn. Then this is a separate ability where if you cast a giant you may return a giant from your graveyard to your hand and create a food token I'm thinking a 5/5 for 1 r, 1 g, 1 bl, 1 blu, 1 w, 1 gen, and I think it should have defender and can attack if you control 5 or more creatures... Maybe make it a wall as well but definitely gotta be a giant

Planar Die rolls trigger effect that look for dice rolls, right? So Krark's Other Thumb would let you roll with "Advantage" on the planar roll. I think my Space Family Goblinson deck is very much going to want to play Planechase Commander. Pay 3 mana to roll 3 Planar Dice and immediately get the trample and 3 +1/+1 counters each turn? Yes please.

I love planechase! Do wish it came as a bundle tho, and not like this

Can't wait, but what do I do if I'm the only one in my group that buys one of these decks and no one else does?

My group has been playing Commander with Planechase almost exclusively for about 4-6 months before this was announced so we're pumped to get 25 new Planes. Any new Phenomenon cards?

Can I buy a March of machine precon and play it against others even if they don’t have plane cards? Or can the planar decks only be used if everyone has one?

So I assume there must be some cards that let chaos ensue since it’s not tied to the die roll anymore

So, if you don't have planechase card, and someone bring those precon at the table, what happens ? We play with only the plane design for that precon?

I *LOVE* the fact we are getting more Planechase™️ support, but I *DETEST* the fact its being attached to a Commander product.

How does barbarian class or other dice related effects work with planechase?

We play with 1 huge deck instead of 2 or more individual ones. It makes the game way more chaotic and fun.

Really looking forward to trying out the mechanic. My own play group could use the added unpredictability, and may shift some of their metas. Also wanna say, the Dominaria Remastered foils are amazing quality, the quality that Foils SHOULD have. I hope you use that printer's foiling method a lot more, because like most players I hate the Potato Chip foils. But DomRe, I'm actually happy when I get those foils in a pack.

House rule: Each time you roll the planar die, you roll dice and choose which result you keep!

We still limited to only two phenomena per deck, regardless of how big it is?

I am SO EXCITED for these!!! Love planechase. We’ve had a decade of new places since the last time we got new cards. We needed more, and this was a perfect set to do more!

Will the decks include Fractured Powerstone?

The real trouble with this is my personality will make me want all the planes so my life for the next little while is going to be a literal plane chase

ngl, I was kinda hoping for new Planechase die with different numbers of sides and different percentages to hit Planeswalk / Chaos.

Gavin, I would love to submit designs for auxiliary products such as Planechase, Archenemy, and other game modifying supplements such as Explorers of Ixalan

Is it the player who did lethal damage to the battle who gets the card, or is it the owner of the permanent?

Slam dunk bringing PC back for MOM Commander. 10/10!

The Ball was seriously DROPPED for the plane chase dice !!! The colors are all wrong except the green / purple one

Something I dislike from my experience playing planechase is that more than half of the planes benefit go wide creature heavy decks and nothing else. I hope this will change at some point.

With Planechase back, can we get another box set that reprints them all? So that everyone has access to all the planes easily :) They're like hundreds on ebay and amazon and so on iirc :(

Will more Planes Chase be printed?

Are Battles permanents? Can they be Shocked or only "defeated" through combat damage? Do they 'die'?

So happy to see plane chase coming back. I only got to try it once when it came out

MoM is cool and I'm hyped. But your guys could of made this a multi release set covering multiple planes adding new compleated characters. Per set. Doing a set/booster/collectors run per 3months The war could of been all of 2023. Ending in a 5 deck archenemy style set. 4 "hero" decks each representing a hero and plane as well as era of magic. And 1 phyrexian deck including universe beyond cards, Elesh norn is a OP glass cannon with cheap and instant speed token generation for waves of defenders while having some rediculious keyword and ability set. The idea being she is pulling everything she can to protect new phyrexia including surviving orators and is trying to destroy her most powerful surviving enemies. It can include: schemes, battles, and planechase. Missed opportunity WotC.

I want commanders that care about planes. That would be sick!

May we expect Planechase in Magic Arena?

Only experienced it once before. It was quite shocking and very fun but it also can make you realize some commanders are not suited to it all that well the majority of the time and honestly that's what makes it neat! X3 I cannot wait to see it again and also for each of these Planar Dice to be hunted like the Gatewatch will be in MoM. Gonna be some interesting games of commander! Also makes me wonder will this be a one time thing or could we see a Universes Beyond Secret Lair that gives us battlefields for all the other IPs? I personally would love some D&D ones or Cybertron for Transformers to show up now and then just for the sheer "nani!?" factor as well as framing and style points.

I've heard a lot about planechase in older formats. I'm very interested with how reinviting such an old mechanic could work with modern cards.

I knew it existed but never knew how it actually worked. This is AWESOME. It sounds like more of a "party" mode for the game. It would be cool if MTG Arena had a variant of this.

Fantastic although I'd love a way to get all the old planechase cards having this as part of the commander product is great!

It would be nice if they were normal sized to transport easier and even include in decks (under house rules, of course)

so the way i understand this ... if someone brings a deck that includes planechase to commander ... kick him from the group for forcing you to make a 10card deck that will fit in 0 deck boxes

so, I'm a bit confused - My understanding is that Phenomenon cards are shuffled separetly from planechase cards, and planechase should be 10 cards per player in the planechase deck, but the precon decks have 9 planechase and 1 phenomenon, so wouldn't that be impossible to do with just the precons?

i wonder if this Plane cards are pauper legal. ....

Very much dislike planechase. But having your own deck to tailor to your commander seems fun. Commander decks being 110 cards now I'm sure is giving Sheldon nightmares. I'd rather have a wish sideboard.

Okay, but if you AREN’T playing Archenemy Vanguard Planechase Two-Headed-Giant, are you REALLY playing Magic? I mean, really.

hints # 4 ...there is a card! 😂😂😂😂

So your thoughts on the reports of Magic artists getting paid below industry standards

dropped three hundred bucks on Dr Who, super-stoked, only for this unhinged nonsense to spoil it.

This slows the game down, rewards luck too much, and is hard to understand explain to others. It is so complex try just watching this video once then shuffle and play. You can only play them in a four commander set. You also have to find space for new dice and oversized cards. Terrible idea, for me. Just my take.

So I keep asking this question on this channel but I never get a response so I'm here to ask again. So why does wotc hate poor people? You keep raising prices even though you've had back to back years of record breaking profits so the logical reason has to be that wotc is extremely greedy or your trying to price out the less fortunate. I think it's both

Do you guys have a lost of carxs you are okeyed to reprint in precons. I bought all 5 because I love plane chase. But you limited cards to planar die rather than die so they dont have an effect elsewhere. You guys also used such cpmmonly reprinted cards. Are you guys doing like zetalpa with every card in the deck. Reprinting commander legends cards etc. And only value is kolonian hydra? Why? Its like you dont understand the people who would buy this in particular arent just new people, they would have little involvement with planechase. Just sad for this product.
