Description
Designated as card number 5, this common rarity card is part of the OPC2 set code released in 2012. The card's primary function is to create a massive battlefield shift by destroying all creatures when encountered, forcing players to adapt their strategies immediately. This mechanic adds a layer of unpredictability and excitement to the Planechase format, where planar cards dictate the flow of the game. Art by Dave Kendall, the card visually represents the catastrophic scale of a planewide catastrophe. As a Phenomenon, it sits on the planar realm, affecting all players simultaneously rather than targeting a single player or permanent. This unique positioning makes it a standout card for collectors who appreciate the innovative mechanics introduced in the Planechase series. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out planar cards for their distinct gameplay roles and aesthetic appeal. The Planewide Disaster card is a notable addition to any collection, particularly for those interested in the Planechase variant of the game. Its ability to clear the board and reset the state of play makes it a memorable card in the history of the format. Whether you are building a comprehensive collection of planar cards or simply appreciate the strategic depth of Phenomena, this card is a valuable acquisition. By adding this card to your collection, you own a piece of TCG history that continues to be enjoyed by players and collectors alike.
