When you guys play Planechase, do you use decks made specifically for the format, or do you just use any deck? If you use a specially-made deck, do you have a planar deck that goes with it?
Personally, I just use any of the decks I already have made. I just take all my planes (excepet a select few) and shuffle them into a pile. I enjoy playing that way because it's a bit more random and spontaneous than building a planar deck and a deck made specifically for the format.

If you suggest a card to add to a deck, suggest one to take out as well.
Our group just uses my big ol' stack of all 45 planes. Sometimes we play variants such as: everyone picks two planes to remove from the deck before the game starts. The other variant we play is there are six plane cards out at once (we use a die or such to mark which one we're at currently of course), and whenever you roll planeswalk you get to move to the plane of your choice, and a new card is flipped over the place you are leaving.
Out of all the formats of magic that include over-sized cards, Planeschase is by far the most popular at our local shop. Most people hate playing archenemy, and people just prefer Planeschase over Vanguard.
I've yet to find someone who owns Planeschase cards that tailors their planes for a deck.
In my playgroup, AFAIK, no-one builds decks especially for planechase, because we use the shared-planar-deck variant.
Which planes do you choose to exclude, Captain Salty?
Usually I'll take out ones that no one in my playgroup likes such as Lethe Lake or ones that play favorites like The Dark Barony and Feeding Grounds. When it comes to the planes I use, I try to keep the planar deck as neutral as possible so anyone can benefit from the current plane.

We play Planar Commander with all 45 planes. We tried playing Planar Archenemy Commander once but that didn't work so well. We don't tailor make our decks to go with the Planechase deck we just use our regular Commander decks or Standard decks.
I just use whatever deck i feel like usually.
the only planes that I have are the ones that came with the planechase artifact deck, so I don't have much of a selection.
at the shop I go to, it's not really all that popular and I'm the only one whose ever bought it,which really sucks because I find it fun
my group just uses a shared planar deck, and try to roll to every plane as fast as possible. No specific decks; we use a lot of highlander and 5-color decks so no plane really hurts us or super benefits.
Only two members of my playgroup ever got planechase decks, and so what we do is we have just one big pile of planes as our planar deck and we shuffle up our EDH decks of choice to use as the decks we play with. Oh, sometimes we'll throw in some archenemy just for kicks.
What I usually do with my play group is take my stack of 41 planechase cards (almost have all of them finally) and we bust it out as a single planechase deck for all players on the board. Doing this it adds such a fun chaos to the mess. We just bust out our normal or EDH decks (I almost want to try this with the EDH Treasures style of play). and go at it! So fun. My ultimate goal is to convince my group to each choose there top 3 Planes, through those into a pile, and then play our EDH decks against an Archenemy EDH deck using a larger scheme pile.
My group play with joy the Eternities Map variant that was proposed in the Wizards site, in this link [URL="http://www.wizards.com/magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/100"]. We found that this is less random and more interactive with the planes, also we think that the format lacks of card support, I mean cards that interact with planes like ones released with Commander. For that reason, we allowed some fan made ones that do this job.
