Planechase Release Event Report

[chrysologus400]

I bought the Elemental Thunder deck because it seemed the coolest: huge red and green elementals, such as Verdant Force! I also shelled out $16 (!) for the Ultra Pro Planechase deck-box with sleeves, which I considered overpriced, but I had come with my heart set on buying one.

I played four four-man free-for-alls, of which I won the first. I will

I printed all 41 using our super work printer, taped them to two basic land each and trimmed down to size, and had Jodi laminate them. Otherwise the tape would peel over time and they'd be hard to shuffle. I have yet to play with them.

Some of the planes are really tame, and some are really insane. I don't love that some of the planes are color specific like the Alara ones, but I would imagine it evens itself out okay. Also, Izzet seems like it should do something else since it's a watered down version of Glimmervoid in a sense.

Regarding the content of your post, I thought you were getting the zombie one since you posted that zombie deck.

Wow! Okay, that'll work! Not as good as owning the real things, though. Makes me think they should probably sell them without the decks for a cheaper price

That was what I told my friend Allan. I'd be willing to buy the Planechase cards themselves, assuming my playgroup actually likes using them. But I'm not about to buy 4 precons to do it.
