[Discussion] MTG Planechase

[lemmingllama]

So for those of you who dont know what this is, basically its a variant of Magic: The Gathering to add more fun and chaos to your games. Item one, the Planes. These planes are referenced all throughout the Magic mythology, but we never actually get to see them in action. Now with the Planechase cards, you can move from plane to plane and be affected by each. These plane cards cannot be affected by normal cards in the game and contain global rules.

As you can see, it has two effects on it. One is a global rule that is in effect as long as the plane is in play. The other is one that has to be activated. Now comes the tricky part of switching planes or using the activated ability of the planes. Simply put, a plane is put onto the battlefield at the beginning of the game. To switch it or activate it, you must simply roll a die with two symbols on it. During your turn, any time you could cast a sorcery, you may roll the planar die. You can do this multiple times in the same turn. To roll the die, you must pay an amount of mana equal to the number of times you’ve already rolled the die this turn. So the first roll is free, the second roll costs 1, the third roll costs 2, and so on. Rolling the die happens immediately (no one can respond to it), but the results do not. Rolling the die could have three results:

• If you roll a blank face, nothing happens.

• If you roll the chaos symbol, the face-up plane card’s chaos ability triggers. Players may cast instants and activate abilities before it resolves.

• If you roll the planeswalker symbol, then you simply change to the next plane.

So, for those of you who have experience playing this or stories to share, post them here. I just played my first game last night, but with EDH it can really make your games more interesting and use up spare mana
