City Hall

The City Hall card from the Planechase promotional set represents a specific subset of Magic: The Gathering cards distributed during the 2009 release of the original Planechase product. These oversized cards were designed to represent different locations across the multiverse, with the City Hall card illustrating a location within the Ravnica setting. The mechanical design focused on adding a new layer of chaotic gameplay, allowing players to shift between different planes that altered the game's core rules during play.

The art and layout were developed by the Wizards of the Coast design team to capture the bureaucratic and imposing architecture of the Selesnya Conclave’s headquarters. As part of a promotional campaign rather than a core booster set, these cards were intended to introduce casual players to the multiplayer-centric format. The reception was largely positive among tabletop groups, as it successfully integrated thematic flavor with a unique, randomized movement mechanic that prevented stagnant game states.
