Races

Selecting your race is one of the first choices you'll need to make when first making your character. Race options are dependent on both your starting plane and color identity / class selection. Though players are encouraged to play whatever character they want they should be aware that playing a strange race the inhabitants of a plane are not familiar with will make the journey more difficult.

Work with your Dungeon Master to determine the best fit for your campaign and party, any creature with basic levels of intelligence is likely playable, especially if it is a race that also is given a class in the MTG TCG. Again, much like playing outsider races, playing monster races like the Surrakar, a lizard-like race native to Zendikar, will make finding friends somewhat difficult.

As we build Campaign Books for different planes of the multiverse we will update this page with more definitive examples of which races are most common to which planes. For now use the following list as a guide to the different playable races and their color and plane association:
