Esper ( ) is made up of islands and has no wilderness. These shards each had an abundance of a combination of three types of mana.īant ( ) is a land of knights, castles, and high magic. Sovereigns of Lost Alara | Illustration by Donato GiancolaĪlara was originally a normal and relatively peaceful plane until a cataclysm called the Sundering tore it up into five shards. But it’s been implied by designers that the Abyss is actually a plane. It’s thought to be a void between planes and could even be the same as the Nether Void, the Aether, or the Blind Eternities. There’s not much information on the Abyss. That being said, we know of 78 named planes in Magic’s lore. There’s an almost infinite number of planes in the Multiverse, basically as many as WotC needs to explore as many concepts as they want. To summarize and make it a bit less confusing, think of planes as self-contained worlds with their own particularities that exist in a greater Multiverse. It’s also worth noting that no Universes Beyond worlds exist in the actual Multiverse of MTG. This is a parallel Multiverse that has no contact with the main Multiverse.ĭuring the Planar Chaos story, the Multiverse crossed paths with an alternate reality or parallel multiverse, which explains the color-shifted cards and alternate border designs. While there is a central Multiverse where the main story takes place, there’s also an Un-iverse where all Un-sets and silver-bordered cards and their planes exist. The most obvious one is the fact that having an almost-infinite number of planes allows for an almost-infinite number of concepts to explore without contradicting any previous worldbuilding. This quasi-infinity of planes allows for a ton of design, worldbuilding, and writing possibilities. The vastness of an infinity of possibilities leaves room to explore the wildest concepts and ideas, but luckily WotC tries to stick to worlds we can understand. If this whole concept seems confusing, don’t worry. There are planes that are endless sprawls of mass, vacuum spaces, or incomprehensible worlds where our understanding of reality is turned upside down.
But the laws of physics and reality itself aren’t universal. Most planes as we know them are similar to planets spheres with a particular atmosphere and one or more suns and moons and stars. These planes exist in some kind of pseudo-physical space, with a void between each of them known as the “Blind Eternities.” Most planes tend to have a defining set of characteristics and particularities that differentiate them from one another. Planes are the self-contained “universes” that make up the grander Multiverse of MTG.
