The Planes that exist (For better or worse) from the lack of Eldrazi Culling.

Discussion

Latest Reality Fracture story confirms that the Eldrazi act as a multi planar immune system. Targeting planes that have reached the end of their lifespans, are abnormally imbalanced in some shape or form, a threat to the other planes, etc. But for the last few centuries or so the Eldrazi were imprisoned on Zendikar, halting this process.

This brings the question, what planes are currently existing in Magic that exist from the lack of Eldrazi intervention?

Some examples that come to mind:

- Duskmourn: A nightmare plane that consists of one demonic being literally pushing on the edges of the plane, this seems like the clearest example of an imbalance that the Eldrazi would seeks out and intervene in. Even if one were to somehow break Valgavoth pact or hold on the house the demon is too intertwined and the plane twisted that doing so might actually just destabilize the plane and make things worse.
- Thunder Junction: Between the Fomori artifacts and the desertification of the plane, it seems like Thunder Junction was a battleground between the Fomori and the, the latter perceived by the former as a multiplanar threat to be wiped. So if they did fight there is Thunder junction an incomplete job of culling by the Eldrazi?
- Zhalfir: The entire period of Zhalfir being time shifted off Dominaria into its own plane cutoff from the rest of the multiverse, seems like it would of been anomalous enough for the Eldrazi to intervene. If they weren’t imprisoned, it’s highly possible that Teferi’s act of was saving Zhalfir from a devastating war with Phyrexia, would have led to utter annihilation by the Eldrazi.
