A planar portal is a way to travel through the aether between planes, without needing a planeswalker's spark. Planar portals can be created by planeswalkers, but the Thran and the Phyrexians also had the technology.

History

When the Mending occurred, all artificial planar portals stopped working.[3][4] New tech was possible, but so far the only example seen is the Planar Bridge, which has major limitations transporting organic matter.[5]

Vorinclex used an unexplained portal between New Phyrexia and Kaldheim.[6] Tezzeret was revealed as being in league with New Phyrexia in Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, and Vorinclex was stripped of organic tissue on his initial arrival on Kaldheim, which revealed the Planar Bridge was the method. Other Praetors visited other planes by the same method.

Realmbreaker used the dynamics of the World Tree's omenpaths as a way to forcibly link planes from New Phyrexia across the multiverse. Despite New Phyrexia later being pocketed away into the Zhalfirin planar knot and Realmbreaker's demise, some influence of the omenpaths still exist across the multiverse, additionally influenced by the detonation of the Filigree Sylex in the Blind Eternities.
