[edit] 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]
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]
In a magicthegathering.com Arcana update for Thursday, October 26th, the set symbol for Planar Chaos, along with a new card art and logo banner, was revealed. [4]
[edit] Mechanics
The strong blue morph mechanic-theme present in Time Spiral was originally intended for Planar Chaos. Looking for blue's primary identity in the set, Time Spiral's head designer, Brian Schneider, moved the majority of the Planar Chaos morph cards to Time Spiral. [5]
