Description
The Windy City, identified by card number PLA009a, is a distinct Plane card released in 2025 as part of the Black Lotus Unknown Planechase series. This product introduces a thematic Chicago setting to the Magic: The Gathering planar landscape, offering players a new dimension to explore during games. As a common rarity within the PUNK set code, it serves as an accessible entry point for collectors building out their Planechase collections. Gameplay centers on the strategic placement of flying counters. When a planeswalker arrives at this location or at the start of the controller's upkeep, a flying counter can be placed on a nontoken creature lacking that ability. The card also features a unique chaos effect that exiles a creature with flying, allowing its owner to cast it later by paying a reduced mana cost of {2}. Upon leaving The Windy City, all flying counters are removed from creatures, creating a dynamic cycle of advantage and reset. This mechanic encourages creative deck construction and interactive play, making it a notable addition for fans of the format.

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.
