The Aether Flues
A cheat-into-play engine dressed up as scenery. The Iquatana plane runs on the same trade every sacrifice-and-dig build makes: feed it a body, dig for a better one, put that better one straight onto the battlefield without paying its cost. What makes the Planechase frame do interesting work here is the cadence. The sacrifice trigger fires both when you walk onto the plane and every upkeep you stay, so the plane itself becomes the sacrifice outlet and the payoff at once, cheating creatures in as long as the whole table lets it sit under the planar die. The chaos clause is the second gear: land the chaos symbol and you skip the reveal-and-shuffle lottery entirely, dropping a creature from hand for free. That gives the plane two speeds, a reliable dig every turn and a burst whenever the die cooperates, without the deckbuilding cost a normal reanimation shell would carry: no discard enabler, no graveyard to seed, just a creature to feed and a library to plunder. It rewards a board wide enough that losing a creature each upkeep is a rounding error, which is precisely the multiplayer texture the format was built to produce. The result is a shared toy that quietly favors whoever showed up with the most fodder and the biggest things underneath.
