Wizards of the Coast has announced a new set of products called Planechase for Magic the Gathering which will focus on multiplayer gameplay. Planechase game packs will include 70 cards, a special die (yes dice in MTG), and a strategy insert with multiplayer rules. While MTG has long had multiplayer formats such as “five color magic”, “two headed giant”, and “emperor”, this release is noteworthy in that the Planechase products include “plane cards” specifically designed for playing just this format. Planechase release events will be held September 4-6, 2009.
