Description
As a Plane card with the Chicago subtype, this Magic: The Gathering trading card game card offers a distinct strategic layer through its planar mechanics. The Windy City allows players to enhance their board presence by granting flying counters to nontoken creatures when planeswalking or during upkeep. Its chaotic potential further disrupts the game by exiling flying creatures, though it provides a cost-reduction benefit for their owner. When departing this plane, all flying counters are removed, creating a dynamic shift in gameplay. For collectors, this product represents a specific entry in the evolving Planechase format, appealing to those who appreciate the unique identity of Chicago within the Magic universe. The card's design and rules text reflect the creative direction of the Black Lotus Unknown series, making it a notable piece for enthusiasts of the game's diverse card types. Completing a collection of Plane cards or focusing on the Black Lotus Unknown subset adds depth to any Magic: The Gathering archive. This release highlights the strategic depth and thematic variety that define modern Magic expansions.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
When you planeswalk here and at the beginning of your upkeep, put a flying counter on target nontoken creature you control without flying. Whenever chaos ensues, exile target creature with flying. For as long as it remains exiled, its owner may cast it by paying {2} rather than paying its mana cost. When you planeswalk away from The Windy City, remove all flying counters from all creatures.
