Just started MTGO not too long ago and ended up with one of the planeswalker packs. Thought, cool, maybe it's just MTGO exclusive cards. So I popped it open and tried to add them to a deck... To my dismay, it said it was only able to be used in "Free-form" format.
Tried marking these things trade-able, nothing. I just want these things to go away. What use is a card if you cannot use it. Any ideas on this?
Planeswalker packs contain gold bordered cards that were released as a promotion by wizards to online accounts. You can build decks exclusivley out of gold bordered cards and use them in "planeswalker games" which include 1v1, 2HG 3HG Multiplayer and so on. The games are usually held in the new players room. It lets new players on magic online to play with classic good cards that they might not own like wrath of god, etc. You cannot trade away gold bordered cards or add them to a non planeswalker deck or have non gold cards in a planeswalker deck.
Apparently, you're only ever allowed 1 copy of each non basic land card in a planeswalker deck, meaning the format is pretty much singleton, which is ****ing stupid.
But Gold bordered cards are untradable, and only playable in the planeswalker format. and you must have the 60 Gold borders, including the basic lands.

The idea was to allow players who played on the Xbox to transition with decks they knew.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
As far as I know, you just have to live with the fact that those sucky gold-bordered cards will always mess up your standard pool for the next year or so. I have to put up with that too.
I wish I never opened this stupid planeswalker box in my tix/boosters tab. I' would honestly pay $ to have these stupid cards removed from my collection.
If you don't mind getting a new screen name you can always make a new account and trade all your cards to it save those gold bordered ones.
Just curious, if they aren't legal in standard, then why do they show up in the standard filter? Maybe thats a bug or feature that needs to change.

Bug.
You wish! I think these come FREE with new accounts now.
Something small but incredibly annoying hanging around for months/years? Why am I not surprised.
But they're originally in a pack that you have to make the mistake of opening.

Planeswalker pack was just added. This is less then a month old.
While very annoying it's fairly recent.
Just go in the Trade area and open a thread up. Heck you could "probably" even trade them for tickets.

These can't be traded. I feel like that was said atleast twice in the first three posts of the thread.
