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.

Trivia
- The term planeswalker refers to powerful beings in Magic: The Gathering who are able to travel through different planes of existence. Players of the card game take the role of planeswalkers who engage in spellcasting duels.
- Chandra Nalaar is a planeswalker pyromancer who is almost always seen wearing these goggles. She is aligned with red magic which is associated with impulsivity, speed and chaos in the game -- appropriate for the Scout's unpredictable twitch gameplay style.[1][2]
- The item description is a reference to the alternate Chandra planeswalker card named Chandra Ablaze and the fact that Chandra is a fire mage.
- In Chandra's first graphic novel appearance, the RED planeswalker breaks into the BLU team's base, runs off with the intelligence and evades the Soldiers whom she is too fast for. Sentries then cause her to fly into the air, but she survives and escapes through the sewers. The Administrator then dispatches the BLU Spy Jace Beleren to go after her. He teleports to and sneaks inside the RED base, tracks Chandra down, and recovers the intelligence.[3]
