Last year, to celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of Magic Online, we ran a format called Battle of the Planes where you could choose a popular plane from Magic's history, build a phantom Sealed deck from sets on that plane, and battle against other players doing the same. We've decided to bring it back for Magic's 25th Anniversary!

From June 6–13 on Magic Online, you'll choose among the following five planes and get a phantom Sealed pool consisting of the boosters listed below. Build your deck, and then play three matches against other players doing the same. (Plane selection does not affect matchmaking; you could play against the same plane or another one.) Here are the planes you can select and which booster packs you'll receive:

Plane Booster #1 Booster #2 Booster #3 Booster #4 Booster #5 Booster #6 Innistrad Innistrad Innistrad Dark Ascension Avacyn Restored Shadows over Innistrad Eldritch Moon Lorwyn Lorwyn Lorwyn Morningtide Shadowmoor Shadowmoor Eventide Mirrodin Mirrodin Darksteel Fifth Dawn Scars of Mirrodin Mirrodin Besieged New Phyrexia Ravnica Ravnica: City of Guilds Guildpact Dissension Return to Ravnica Gatecrash Dragon's Maze Zendikar Zendikar Zendikar Worldwake Rise of the Eldrazi Battle for Zendikar Oath of the Gatewatch

If you play multiple times, I highly suggest changing up planes. It's just more fun!

Here are the event details:

Start Time: June 6 at 10 a.m. PST

Closed Time: June 13 at 10 a.m. PST

End Time: June 13 at 2 p.m. PST

Happy 25th, Magic! You have many fun planes on which to battle. And you can now rent a car.

In Magic, Change Is the Only Constant

Speaking of battles on new planes, starting next month, I will be taking on a new challenge as a game designer for the MTG Arena team. Magic Online veteran Alli Medwin will be moving down from R&D to take my role as product manager, and Chris Kiritz is still around as the senior product manager.

My eleven years working on Magic Online in a variety of roles has been a great experience, and I'm proud of the work I've done. Magic Online is as successful as it's ever been, and the suite of events and formats available have made Magic Online a fantastic place to play.

In my role on MTG Arena, I'll be working with the team focusing on the parts of the game outside actual gameplay. What features will exist for players to measure their progress? To challenge themselves against others? To deepen their engagement with and passion for Magic? Stay tuned to find out, as I'm excited to work on them! MTG Arena is off to a great start, and I'm excited to help create this fun new digital expression of the world's greatest game.

You'll still be able to find me on Twitter @mtg_lee, and remember, if you see WotC_Lee in your Cube pod, stay out of mono-red.
