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.

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]].
17	* FourthWallGreeting: Used in several intros, including one that's a ShoutOut to ''Series/MisterRogersNeighborhood''.
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.
