What it does
When you planeswalk here and at the beginning of your upkeep, put a flying counter on target nontoken creature you control without flying.
Whenever chaos ensues, exile target creature with flying. For as long as it remains exiled, its owner may cast it by paying 2 generic mana rather than paying its mana cost.
When you planeswalk away from The Windy City, remove all flying counters from all creatures.

Where it came from
The Windy City is a specialized promotional card released as part of the Planechase format, designed to introduce dynamic, location-based mechanics to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Created by Wizards of the Coast, this card reflects the company's efforts to expand the strategic depth of multiplayer games by simulating travel between different realms of the multiverse, with this specific design drawing inspiration from the architectural and atmospheric identity of urban fantasy settings.
The card was illustrated with an emphasis on evoking the shifting, volatile nature of its namesake plane, utilizing a visual style consistent with the broader Planechase aesthetic of high-fantasy cartography and atmospheric landscape art. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players seeking to add environmental complexity to their decks, praised for its ability to mechanically represent the gusty, unpredictable nature of a city-plane through its unique triggered abilities.
