How does planechase work?
Asked by Demarge 12 years ago
When a player rolls the die and it lands on chaos does each player's plane's chaos tigger go on the stack for the active player? Or is it just the one that player owns that triggers? Same for planeswalking, do all the planes get walked out? or just the plane that player owns? (been playing a few games where they all go off and it gets overly ridiculous)
Well that simplifies planechase by a lot... though it was pretty entertaining to have 3-4 planes actives at the same time (though the average turn time was about 20 min...)

You can always play a variant with your own house rules but Planechase officially follows the rules outlined above. I can only imagine the absurdity and hilarity of having multiple planes' effects all going on at the same time...

There is only ever one face-up plane at a time. The active player is the controller of that plane (even though the plane may have a different owner).
When the active player rolls the chaos symbol, he or she puts the chaos ability onto the stack. He or she is the controller of this iteration of that ability and the chaos ability of the face-up plane will only trigger once.
When the active player rolls the planeswalker symbol, the owner of the face-up plane puts it on the bottom of his or her planar deck and then the active player reveals the top plane card of his or her own planar deck. This now becomes the face-up plane for all players until somebody rolls the planeswalker symbol again.
Remember that the chaos and planeswalk abilities are triggered abilities and may be responded to.
