The Talon Gates plane card stands as a distinctive entry in the 2016 Planechase Anthology Planes subset of Magic: The Gathering. Identified by card number 77 and set code OPCA, this common rarity card brings the legendary world of Dominaria to the planar chaos mechanic. Designed by artist Chippy, the card serves as a central hub for strategic gameplay within the Planechase format, allowing players to interact with suspended spells in novel ways. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often seek out Planechase Anthology cards for their ability to expand deck variety and introduce dynamic board states. The Talon Gates card is particularly notable for its interaction with the suspend mechanic. By exiling nonland cards with time counters, players can delay casting powerful spells, then trigger them without paying their mana cost when the counters expire. This design encourages thoughtful resource management and long-term planning, appealing to both casual and competitive players. The plane’s chaos ability further enhances its collectible value by adding an element of unpredictability to every game. Whenever chaos ensues, two time counters are removed from each suspended card, accelerating the payoff for players who have invested in the suspend strategy. For those building collections focused on the Planechase Anthology, this card represents a key component of the Dominaria plane cycle. Its straightforward common rarity makes it accessible for set completionists while remaining a functional piece for ongoing gameplay. Whether you are interested in the lore of Dominaria or the strategic depth of plane mechanics, the Talon Gates card offers a compelling addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.

Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Any time you could cast a sorcery, you may exile a nonland card from your hand with X time counters on it, where X is its mana value. If the exiled card doesn't have suspend, it gains suspend. (At the beginning of its owner's upkeep, they remove a time counter. When the last is removed, the player may cast it without paying its mana cost. If it's a creature, it has haste.) Whenever chaos ensues, remove two time counters from each suspended card you own.
