Six New Magic Products
Wizards dropped six new product announcements on us today. Here's a summary of the news:

3. New Planeswalker Deck
There's a new product for each set. Each set will have two Planeswalker Decks, each built around a different planeswalker relevant to that block. The bundle will contain a 60-card deck and two booster packs from that block with an MSRP of $14.99. Each deck will contain five cards that won't be in the expansion, but are legal to play in Standard:
- A brand-new planeswalker card (mythic rare) at a relatively high converted mana cost (so that Standard players won't be forced to buy the product).
- Two copies of a rare spell that has an effect and can tutor for the planeswalker
- Three copies of an uncommon permanent that is enhanced by having the planeswalker on the battlefield
- Four copies of a common flavored to the Planeswalker
- Four copies of an appropriate common dual land
