Set details
Planar Chaos contains 165 cards. The designers of this set are Bill Rose (lead designer), Matt Place, Mark Rosewater, and Paul Sottosanti. [1]
Pete Venters has contributed art for Planar Chaos (Information confirmed by Pete Venters).[citation needed]
There will be at least one dragon in Planar Chaos, which, according to Matt Cavotta, might have the best dragon art of any Magic card. [2]
Recently a picture of an unknown female angel wearing armor very similar to that of another MTG character Akroma, was released with the caption "What if you went to a prerelease and everything had changed?" Planar Chaos will most likely contain cards that have off-color effects and abilites. [citation needed]
The set will have "Timeshifted" cards as confirmed by Mark Rosewater. Unlike Time Spiral, the Timeshifted cards will not be reprints of older Magic cards, will have normal rarity symbols as opposed to purple, and will be considered a part of the expansion, not a separate sub-set. [3]
