Anyone up for Planechase?

[Oversoul]

While I was looking for singles in my badly-in-need-of-resorting collection, I found my box that has all all four Planechase precons and all four Planechase 2012 precons. I believe that the planar cards are stacked up with my other oversize cards on a bookshelf. I think Planechase is great fun, but I don't believe I've actually played with the original precons and their associated planar decks. Well, here's a group that tends to play precons. So I figure why not? We've done other variant gameplay modes and this one's pretty easy. Any takers?

 

[Mooseman]

I am.

 

[Spiderman]

You know I am

 

[Oversoul]

That's three. If we get one more, we can break out all four of the original Planechase precons.

Two things to be clear...

1. The lists you found are for Planechase 2012 and not the original product from 2009. We can do either or both or even mix and match. The products are compatible with each other. I'd had a vague idea that we could do the first set first, then maybe move on to the second one, but whatever you guys want to do.
2. Each Planechase deck comes with a 10-card Planar Deck, and you'll need those. The M:tG Wiki has all of the lists.

Well there is no need for the deck lists with those two links.
I'll delete them and we can start on the original 2009 decks

 

[Spiderman]

Do we need to roll to see who picks a deck first and so on or just claim a deck?

 

[Oversoul]

Whichever you guys prefer. I haven't actually played any of the decks themselves so they're all new to me.

 

[Spiderman]

Let's be "formal" and roll d20, highest to lowest I rolled a 2

 

[Oversoul]

I rolled...

...wait for it...

...wait for it...

...also a 2.

 

[Spiderman]

LOL. Okay, roll off to see who goes second (because I assume Mooseman will NOT roll a 1 or 2)..... I got a 3

 

[Mooseman]

I rolled an eleven, so spidey is correct.
Do we need another player or is 3 good to go?

 

[Melkor]

I'll play. I rolled a 9

 

[Spiderman]

Nice. It's the Explorers of Ixalan crew

 

[Oversoul]

I got a 10 on the tiebreaker for last, so it looks like the pick order is Mooseman, Melkor, Oversoul, Spiderman.

 

[Mooseman]

I will start by piloting the Elemental Thunder deck.
Should we roll to see who goes first?

 

[Melkor]

I pick the Metallic Dreams deck

 

[Oversoul]

I'll take Zombie Empire.

 

[Spiderman]

Sure. more rolling! D20, high to low - I rolled a.... 1. Man, maybe I need to switch dice rollers....

 

[Oversoul]

I got an 8.
