Edge of Eternities brings its fair share of new card subtypes and mechanics, including a cycle of mythic rare lands. Not just any lands. Planets!

These planets offer resources if you’re willing to put in the work to colonize station them, but which ones should you set your sights on, and which should you avoid like the surface of Venus? Let’s hop into our most space-worthy vessels and find out!

What Are Planets in MTG?

Planet is a land type in Magic introduced in 2025’s Edge of Eternities. It’s present on a mythic rare cycle of lands, one for each of Magic’s colors. Planets enter tapped and generate 1 mana of their respective color. They have a station ability that lets you tap creatures to add charge counters to your planet, and you eventually unlock an activated ability at 12+ charge counters. Notably, while spacecraft with station abilities become creatures at a certain threshold, planets don’t become creatures without some outside help.

Despite the template that their names follow, planets in Edge of Eternities aren’t legendary, so you can run them in multiples in non-singleton formats without running into the legend rule.

#5. Kavaron, Memorial World

All of these planets require a lot of power from either a big creature or from a critical mass of creatures to gain at least 12 charge counters. Kavaron, Memorial World gives you a pump that reaches as wide as your board and some mass haste enabling, which is so aggro. Definitely feels like a setup for a finishing combat phase, or multiple if you’re going the extra combats route.

#4. Susur Secundi, Void Altar

As you might expect from the name, Susur Secundi, Void Altar is a sacrifice outlet that draws you cards. Power-matters, charge counters… I think the best place is probably infect decks that have recursive threats, like Brimaz, Blight of Oreskos.

#3. Adagia, Windswept Bastion

The ability to copy any enchantment or artifact that you control is really powerful. You won’t want to copy a legendary artifact or enchantment, but there’s plenty of other worthy targets. Your favorite counter or token doubler, your best stax piece, a powerful aura, equipment, saga, vehicle…. Someone still needs to convince me that station abilities aren’t dreadfully slow, but I like how this is as adaptable as one of my favorite commanders (Alela, Artful Provocateur).

#2. Evendo, Waking Haven

Evendo, Waking Haven and the blue planet work in similar ways. Lots of creature token decks would love a big burst of mana like this. Evendo is somewhat comparable to Gaea's Cradle, but I prefer the comparison to Growing Rites of Itlimoc / Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun given the steps you need to take to reach the final payoff. This is probably the planet that fits the core of my personal playstyle best.

#1. Uthros, Titanic Godcore

Uthros, Titanic Godcore gets the edge over Evendo because large amounts of blue mana are tougher to find than huge bursts of green mana. It fits in nicely with all the different utility artifact tokens we have; it can essentially act as a mana doubler if you have a board full of Treasure tokens, you can leverage Clue tokens, and let’s not forget Thopter tokens. I personally probably want to win with Mechanized Production before I get to 12 charge counters on this planet, so I wouldn’t tell you that you’re wrong if you personally rank Evendo higher than Uthros.

Best Planet Payoffs

There is only one explicit planet payoff in Edge of Eternities: Loading Zone, a counter doubler that’s limited to creatures, spacecraft, and planets. Plus, you can warp it into play for if you need it for an impactful early play. You can also warp it in later to save mana for something else, like a Heroic Intervention that protects your win condition.

After that, you’re looking for synergies based on the nature of these planets. They’re lands, so they trigger landfall abilities like Scythecat Cub. And they have station abilities that use charge counters, so you can proliferate them or add more with a card like Coretapper.

Further on down the synergy list are creatures that want you to tap them, like inspired abilities from Theros block and survival abilities from Duskmourn: House of Horror. Think King Macar, the Gold-Cursed and Rip, Spawn Hunter. If you want to stick to Edge of Eternities, Kilo, Apogee Mind wants you to tap it to proliferate, so planets fit like a glove.

Can You Fetch Planets?

It depends on the effect that you’re trying to use. Planets are only fetchable by effects that grab nonbasic lands or any land like Crop Rotation. You can also use abilities that grab any permanent. Planets don’t have basic land types, so you can’t dig for them with Boseiju, Who Endures or Misty Rainforest and other fetches.

Can You Station a Planet at Instant Speed?

No. The rules text of the station ability specifies that you can station a planet only at sorcery speed. It’s similar to when you tap a creature to saddle a mount, which you can only do at sorcery speed. Station is distinct from crew abilities, though, because you can crew a vehicle at instant speed.

How Can You Get Alternate Art Versions of Planets?

Traditional foil and non-foil borderless viewport lands of both planets and shock lands are available in Play boosters and Collector boosters of Edge of Eternities. If you want them in a galaxy foil treatment, you’ll have to spring for Collector boosters. You can also find individual copies on the singles market.

And that’s our tour of the planets cards in Edge of Eternities. Depending on how deep we get into Marvel lore later on, I wouldn’t be surprised if these are a testing ground to give us Ego the Living Planet, but that’s still a ways off. You may or may not see these in your EOE Prerelease and Sealed events given the fact that they’re mythic, but it should be fun to figure out which decks should run our favorite planets.

Which planets will you play, and in which decks and formats? Do you want to see planets in future sets? Let me know in the comments below or over on the Draftsim Discord.
