# Pools of Becoming Pools of Becoming represents a curious footnote in Magic's history as a Planechase plane card. These oversized cards never saw Standard play, existing in a supplemental format that attracted casual and multiplayer enthusiasts rather than competitive players. Collectors view it primarily through a format lens—it's a common plane with minimal mechanical complexity, making it less sought after than rarer or more visually striking planes from the same sets. The nonfoil-only status reflects Planechase's original production constraints. Most collectors pursuing complete Planechase sets acquire it without much deliberation, though dedicated plane enthusiasts appreciate its role in the format's ecosystem.
