Overview

Planechase is a Magic: The Gathering Planechase set, released September 4, 2009 with 169 cards. Use the checklist below to track which cards you own, and scan any Planechase card with Tappr to read a Scryfall market estimate synced about every 24 hours.

Best for

  • Modern/Pioneer players and set completionists
  • people completing or pricing Planechase (169 cards, code hop)
  • singles buyers focused on Planechase / Darksteel Forge

Skip if

  • you will not check edition/treatment and still want “NM mythic” prices
  • you expect every rare in the set to hold similar resale

Common mistakes

On Planechase, the usual miss is ignoring foil vs nonfoil and special frames inside the same set code. Money still clusters around Planechase / Darksteel Forge; treating the whole list like one price tier is how people overpay bulk. Also: Planechase (2009, Modern-era paper) gets mixed into lots that are not the same product — match set code hop before the art.

What to check first

First: foil treatment and collector number. On Planechase / Darksteel Forge, do condition under light before grade talk. Then use the Planechase checklist for gaps — sealed is not a plan for the expensive row.
