Planechase 2009 - Strike Force

The "Strike Force" deck comes out of the gate quickly to deliver an endless stream of pain. Hasty creatures, fiery burn spells, and vicious double-striking monsters will make short work of all who oppose you.

Hit hard and fast with a swarm of small creatures. Thanks to double strike, Boros Swiftblade and Hearthfire Hobgoblin fight better than most creatures their size. Cards that boost power like Reckless Charge and Glory of Warfare are doubly effective with them. Follow up with powerful midgame bombs: Flametongue Kavu gets rid of troublesome creatures, and Menacing Ogre delivers a hasty beatdown. Late game you can turn things over to powerhouse creatures like Rorix Bladewing and Razia, Boros Archangel to finish off whoever is left.

Whenever you come out this strong, you're sure to inspire opponents to team up against you. Luckily, you're prepared. Focus your burn spells on one enemy at a time to quickly knock each one out of the game. Turn your opponents' armies against them with a well-timed Insurrection and you can defeat one, two—or maybe even all—of your opponents in one big attack! Or if things get out of hand, you can resort to using Akroma's Vengeance to clear the board.

Be sure to planeswalk when you need to turn up the heat. Inside the Stronghold Furnace, damage is doubly effective. Likewise, the Izzet Steam Maze makes a copy of each deadly burn spell you cast. At the Academy at Tolaria West, an empty hand is not just okay, it's the quickest way to draw seven cards.

Features:

Each game pack contains 10 all-new plane cards, a ready-to-play 60-card deck, a six-sided planar die, and a Planechase strategy insert with multiplayer rules.

Each of the 60-card decks includes 8 rares, and is composed of cards from throughout Magic's history—including a preview card from Zendikar in each deck.

The 10 oversized plane cards in each game pack comprise a planar deck. These plane cards, 40 in all, feature all-new artwork depicting some of the exotic realms of the Magic multiverse.

Each of the cards in the 60-card decks is black-bordered and tournament legal. This means that these cards are legal for use in any tournaments where the original printings are still legal.
