Xerex is a plane that features enormous underground passages with Escherian reality - or physics-bending effects - and kaleidoscopic geometric features.
History
Phyrexian invasion
Next-to-nothing is known about Xerex before the Phyrexian invasion; most factions of Phyrexia — save the Etched Host — made an incursion onto the plane. 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.

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 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.
