Xerex is a plane that features enormous underground passages with Escherian reality - or physics bending effects - and kaleidoscopic geometric features.[1]
History
Phyrexian invasion
Next-to-nothing is known about Xerex before the Phyrexian invasion. However, the plane was still targeted by them. The result was a failure not by any form of concerted defense, but because the nebulous reality in Xerex was too alien for the literalist Phyrexians to comprehend[2], the invasion failed. It can also be noted that it seemed to be put under siege by 4 of the 5 factions of the machine legion, showing the forces of the alabaster, chrome, furnace and copper hosts[3].

Trivia
- Xerex was first (and for a long time only) shown on the Planechase 2012 card Stairs to Infinity.
- Tying with the plane's mathematical style and aesthetic, its name, "Xerex", is a palindrome.
- In April 2023, shortly after the release of March of the Machine, Mark Rosewater held a poll on his Tumblr account[4] asking which plane featured on a battle in the set players would most like to see return in a premier set. Xerex was the winner, with 27% of the vote.
