About Isle of Vesuva

Isle of Vesuva, Plane — dominaria, designed by Zoltan Boros & Gabor Szikszai first released in Sep, 2009 in the set Planechase Planes and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 49.01.

A deck focused on creating a wide board of diverse creatures would benefit from using Isle of Vesuva, as it can generate additional tokens whenever a nontoken creature enters the battlefield, potentially overwhelming opponents with a swarm of creatures. However, there are more powerful options available, such as Parallel Lives or Doubling Season, which provide similar token-doubling effects more efficiently. While Isle of Vesuva may not be the most competitive choice, it could still see play in casual or themed decks looking to create chaotic and unpredictable board states.

Rules

07/01/13

If the permanent targeted by the chaos ability isn’t destroyed (because it regenerates, or because it has indestructible), all other permanents with the same name as it will still be destroyed.

10/01/09

A plane card is treated as if its text box included “When you roll , put this card on the bottom of its owner’s planar deck face down, then move the top card of your planar deck off that planar deck and turn it face up.” This is called the “planeswalking ability.”

10/01/09

A token’s name is the same as the creature types listed by the effect that created it, unless the token copies a permanent or that effect specifically gives that token a name. For example, the effect of The Fourth Sphere’s chaos ability creates a token with the name “Zombie.”

10/01/09

As a token is created by Isle of Vesuva’s first ability, it checks the printed values of the creature it’s copying, as well as any copy effects that have been applied to it. It won’t copy counters on the creature, nor will it copy other effects that have changed the creature’s power, toughness, types, color, and so on.

10/01/09

The chaos ability will destroy all creatures with the same name as the target creature, not just tokens created by Isle of Vesuva’s first ability. It doesn’t matter who controls them.

10/01/09

The controller of a face-up plane card is the player designated as the “planar controller.” Normally, the planar controller is whoever the active player is. However, if the current planar controller would leave the game, instead the next player in turn order that wouldn’t leave the game becomes the planar controller, then the old planar controller leaves the game. The new planar controller retains that designation until they leave the game or a different player becomes the active player, whichever comes first.
