The Scout

The Planeswalker Goggles are a headwear item for the Scout. It is a pair of team color-tinted goggles with lighter colored flame designs, a grey frame, a black strap and orange-yellow rims that replace the Scout's default cap. The goggles resemble the ones worn by Chandra Nalaar, a planeswalker character from the collectible card game Magic: The Gathering.

The Planeswalker Goggles are distributed to players who preorder Magic: The Gathering - Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012 on Steam before June 15, 2011.[1]
