2 | [[caption-width-right:350:Those horns look familiar.]]''Walking the Planes'' is a web video series created by Nathan Holt and Shawn Kornhauser. The series follows professional TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering tournaments around the world and makes a comedic documentary-style video. The two shot a video at Pro Tour Philadelphia in 2011 before successfully getting a Website/{{Kickstarter}} to make another video at that year's World Championships. Since then, Creator/WizardsOfTheCoast have commissioned them to make at least one video for (and between) each Pro Tour. |

7 | !! Walking the Planes contains examples of: |
8 | |
9 | * AnimateDead: "The Wizard" is a necromancer. |
10 | --> ''Would it be okay if I ''killed'' you, and then brought you back to life?'' |
11 | * BilingualDialogue: In addition to English, several other languages are spoken, depending on who is being interviewed and where they are in the world. |
12 | %% * BornLucky: Documented and often played for laughs. |
13 | %% * CollectibleCardGame: Well duh! |
14 | * ComplacentGamingSyndrome: As is natural of Magic tournaments, the series usually comments on metagame choices for Constructed tournaments. The Grand Prix Columbus episode had a discussion theme dedicated to 'The Meta'. [[invoked]] |
15 | %% * ConfusedBystanderInterview: Sometimes, and a running gag on the part of David Ochoa. |
16 | * DarkIsNotEvil: Despite wearing all-black robes and being a necromancer, The Wizard opposes [[JerkAss Liliana]], [[DemonLordsAndArchdevils Griselbrand]] and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Mark Rosewater]]. |

18 | %% * LargeHam: Nathan, when introducing the video. |
19 | * LaserGuidedKarma: Mentioned in "Civilised". |
20 | --> '''Owen Turtenwald''': The guy goes "Hey, don't you hate it when people say 'good luck' when deep down you just want them to mull to five, get mana screwed, and just win?" [...] And then he opens up his hand and mulligans, and then his next hand and mulligans, and I'm like "Dude that's karma, you were asking for it." |
21 | * PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: The Wizard plays this straight, as do other characters played by Nathan. |
22 | %% * ShoutOut: Often. |
23 | * TeleportationMisfire: |
24 | ** The Wizard flubs his planeswalking abilities early in the series. |
25 | ** When trying to planeswalk to the site of the World Magic cup he ends up interrupting a street chess game and a swimming pool. |
26 | %% * TrashTalk: Almost consistent with interviews with players and teams. Most of it is sportsmanlike. |
27 | %% * TVTelephoneEtiquette: Gerry Thompson on the phone to Nathan, both skip the formalities. |
