Originally when Planechase came out my local group played it and had fun, but because we grouped it with Commander games took ages and people really lost interest.
I want to get people to play it again (I have every plane), but not sure how. Does anyone have any ideas?
I also play Weiss Schwarz, Chaos, Vanguard and Wixoss.
Weiss Schwarz Sets

Vanguard Clans Favoured
Angel Feather, Dark Irregulars, Genesis, Neonecter, Pale Moon, Shadow Paladins, Tachikaze.
We always did that too with central pile. I think the way it was designed was flawed in that it took away part of the element of randomness. 60 card casual is dead where I am and standard is depressing, but I could try if we have only one caw-blade deck in lot.

I've never played the game how it was intended (personalised deck of 10 planes per person) for the simple reason that no-one else had the planes...
However, since i have a complete set myself, I have found it easy to get them into multiplayer games in a very casual way. I simply suggest Planechase and most people are cool with the idea. We just shuffle the whole pile and play with the deck like that. Just suggest it again, but with normal decks and you'll probably get a positive response.
I also own the complete set, and just take the entire stack with me.
Many people complain about certain decks to be favored (monoblack control for example loves the random creature removal).
Also, one additional rule made our Planechase games possible: the no-reroll rule.
You MAY roll one die anytime during your turn, but that is all.
At first, games would revolve around people paying X mana to roll dice over and over again to get Chaos or leave the Plane.

So you changed the rules to make it go faster? I found the same too, that people would just roll if they disliked a plane or had nothing to do. I guess that's a bit of an indictment on the format.

One of the main reasons I've seen people lose interest in Planechase is the amount of die rolling for no effect most of the time. I think the solution would be to use a planar die that has an effect on 4 of 6 sides, instead of only 2 of 6. For example, have two opposite each other and have a 'super planeswalk' (such as Scry 1 or 2 on the planar deck, then 'walk) opposite the regular planeswalk.
