First, the Zendikar preview. It’s another card that might, in a few days, turn out to be fake. If it is real, then it’s going to be the prerelease card.

Planechase rules, 2 plane cards, 4 basic lands from Zendikar

August 10th, 2009

Today the Planechase rules have been revealed. I will post the basics here.

To play, you need a plane deck of at least 10 plane cards. (shuffled like a normal deck) You also need a 60 card deck and a plane die. The plane die looks like this:

That is the planeswalker symbol

that is the chaos symbol

The player who goes first flips the top plane card face up. These cards are not permanents, so you can’t affect them in any way with normal Magic cards. Whoever’s turn it is controls the plane card.

The top effect is always on, and the bottom effect happens whenever you roll the chaos symbol on the plane die. These effects use the stack like normal effects. You can roll it any time you could play a sorcery. Each time you roll it, you pay an amount of mana equal to the amount of times you’ve rolled it this turn. (the first roll in a turn is free) If you roll the planeswalker symbol, the owner of the current plane puts it on the bottom of his/her plane deck and you flip up the top card in your plane deck, which becomes the new active plane. If there is an ability when you leave the plane, it is put on the stack. For example:

There were also 4 basic plains previewed from Zendikar. (NOT planes)

The first 2 are normal. You get them from intro packs, but nowhere else:

The next 2 are still basic planes, but they look more like unhinged lands. When you open a booster pack or a fat pack, you get these:
