Segovia is a plane where everything exists in miniature at about a 1:100 scale.[2][3][4]

Description

The largest creature on Segovia, a Segovian Leviathan, is about the size of a Dominarian elephant. When planeswalkers visit this plane they are automatically shrunk down to scale. The people of Segovia watch sports such as chariot races in arenas called Hippodromes.[3] It was once visited by Nicol Bolas who noted its vastly aquatic nature.[5][6]

During New Phyrexia's Invasion of the Multiverse, Segovia was invaded by at least one Phyrexian centurion.[7][8]
