Planechase - MTG Companion

Streamline your Planechase games with an automated planar deck

Planechase – MTG Companion is a focused utility for Magic: The Gathering fans who love the Planechase variant but hate lugging around the bulky planar deck. Instead of shuffling oversized cards, you get a virtual planar deck that handles all the randomization and triggers for you, leaving players free to focus on the actual match.

The core experience is refreshingly straightforward. You start a session and the app immediately begins cycling through planes and phenomena, with the app managing planar changes and effects automatically. This fully automated approach captures the chaotic feel of Planechase without the table clutter, making it especially handy for game nights, tournaments between rounds, or casual meetups where space is limited.

A standout feature is the ability to create and customize your own planar deck. This lets you mirror official products you already own, experiment with thematic plane lists, or curate a more balanced experience for newer players. The interface is simple and functional, prioritizing legibility of card text and fast access to the next plane over unnecessary visual frills.

There are ads, but they are upfront about it and you can adjust the frequency from the menu, which feels respectful of players’ time. On the downside, this is not a complete digital version of Magic: you still need physical decks and players at the table, as the app only covers the Planechase component.

For fans of the format, Planechase – MTG Companion works exactly as advertised: a lightweight, unofficial companion that keeps the chaos of the Multiverse at your fingertips without replacing the real game.
