Many Magic The gathering players ask the question: is it worth it to buy planechase anthology? Planechase anthology is collection of the now hard to find and oftentimes expensive planechase cards. Within it, players can now obtain every single plane card made for planechase, as well as several nice extras, from planechase decks to card storage accessories.
But is the planechase anthology a second chance at a unique and largely unavailable magic specialty set, or a ham fisted cash grab, let’s take a look.
First, some context. Planechase was released in 2009 as set of 4 supplemental products, each costing 19.99 and containing 1 60 card deck and 10 plane cards. It was released again in 2012, again as 4 supplemental products, each containing a 60 card deck and 10 plane and phenomenon cards.
In addition to this, planechase release events were held each time, at which promo planes were given out, for a total of 6 unique planes over both releases.
Planechase anthology contains the following, all 86 pane and phenomenon cards, the 4 individual planechase decks from planechase 2012, 4 slide deck boxes, one oversized slide deck box, 35 double sided tokens, four spindown life counters, and 1 planar die.
So there’s a lot to unpackage here, no pun intended, because the planechase anthology has gone a lot further than just giving us the 86 plane cards and calling it a day.
If you wanted to collect all 86 plane and phenomenon cards, you’d have quite the arduous task. The prices on the 2012 planechase supplemental products range between 49.99 and 89.99 each, whereas the 2009 editions are so scarce that find even one for sale is rare, and the price can be in the hundreds of dollars.
Individual plane cards can be purchased, often ranging from between $2-5 each, depending on the plane, meaning that for a player today to want to collect all 86 assorted planechase planes and phenomenon cards, cost is exponentially high, and due to the extremely limited availability of the 2009 editions, a complete collection may be near impossible without a combination of ample funds and superior scrounging skills.
This is why a planechase anthology was such a brilliant idea. Following the previous Duel Deck anthology, which took the earliest and hardest to find duel decks, reprinted them in their entirety and offered them for just a bit more than their original MSRP allowed players to gain access to these alternative styles and systems of play, and so for planechase, this was a brilliant ideaaaa…but was it brilliantly executed?.
