MTG PLANESHIFT REGULAR MOL FACTORY SET

NOTE: Alt Art Promo's are not part of the base set and are not included.

Planeshift featured 143 black-bordered cards (55 commons, 44 uncommons and 44 rares). Its expansion symbol is a stylized dual swirl, meant to symbolize the planar overlay of Rath onto Dominaria. The set continued Invasion's theme of multicolored cards. Three rare legendary cards have alternate foil versions (not included in MOL sets), so that each appears with its normal art as a foil and also appears with special art on the foil card. The special art versions have a star next to the collector's number.

Themes & mechanics

Planeshift introduced the Gating mechanic. It is generally attached to an undercosted creature, when that creature comes into play, gating requires the player to return a creature they control to their hand. Planeshift expands upon the Kicker keyword introduced in Invasion by having other costs besides mana. It also expanded on domains and kickers.

Notable cards

• Diabolic Intent — A cheap tutor capable of fetching any card in your library for the low cost of 2 mana and the sacrifice of a creature.
• Draco — With a converted mana cost of 16, Draco is the most costly creature card in the game. For this reason, it has been seen at tournament-level Magic, used in combination with Erratic Explosion or Kaboom! to deal 16 damage.
• Flametongue Kavu — A 4/2 that deals 4 damage to any creature when it comes into play for the cost of 4 mana. A format-defining card, capable of destroying almost any blocker while putting a serious threat on the board and being reusable with the gating creatures (most notably Horned Kavu and Shivan Wurm, two other aggressively-costed creatures).
• Lord of the Undead — A Zombie lord with a recursive ability.
• Meddling Mage — This invitational card, designed in the image of Chris Pikula, has seen much play for its ability to deny the playing of a specific spell, the name of which is chosen as the Mage comes into play. Before Snapcaster Mage got released, Meddling Mage was considered the most powerful Wizard ever printed.
• Orim's Chant — Much like Meddling Mage, Orim's Chant prevent the playing of cards, but in this case it prevents a player from playing any spells during a whole turn, and, if the kicker cost is paid, to attack with any creature. With the release of Mirrodin, Orim's Chant saw a considerable amount of play in decks that also hosted Isochron Scepter; using both cards to create an often hard-lock.
• Shivan Wurm — An aggressive 7/7 gating creature with Trample for 5 mana that could easily come out turn 3 or 4.
• Voice of All — An homage to the Voices mega-mega-cycle of Angels with protection from a single color. Voice of Law and Voice of Grace started this cycle in Urza's Saga, Voice of Duty and Voice of Reason continued it in Urza's Destiny, Voice of Truth completed it in Nemesis.
