Planeswalker Decks are a great way for new players to learn Magic's ropes, and the decks coming with Theros Beyond Death are no exception. These decks showcase what Elspeth and Ashiok are doing in Magic's newest set.
Planeswalker Decks are available beginning at Theros Beyond Death Prerelease, which takes place January 17–20 at your local game store.
Before we show you the lists, a note on the decklists and how they appear on the site. During previews (the right-now times!), cards are not yet loaded onto our website (for boring security reasons). They will be added with the next update. In the meantime, all the new Theros Beyond Death cards (including the exclusive cards found in Planeswalker Decks) will not be enabled to hover over and will not fall into the correct card type category. So that Gravebreaker Lamia down there isn't going to show up, and the Unknown Shores is going to be an old version.
You can view the Theros Beyond Death cards in the Card Image Gallery, and each of the exclusive cards from these decks is shown right above the decklist. Also note that, as a special bonus, Daxos, Blessed by the Sun and Tymaret, Chosen from Death come in the special variant frame, so we'll show those here too.
