Easiest plane to understand.

What does it do? Draws you cards.
Chaos? Draws cards.

Good flavourwise, if you understand card drawing to be knowledge-gaining. I'd like it better if I could look at everyone's hands and libraries (I get to pretend I'm Memnarch!), but that might be too crazy even for Planechase.

for some reason my playgroup always gets stuck on panopticon. not because we don't want to leave, it's just, we can never seem to roll 'planeswalk' when we get here.

This is really scary to play with. I discarded most of my library once. (we were playing by different planes rules; it was harder to planeswalk).

For something whose name implies "all-seeing", it doesn't let you see much. I feel that a better application for this plane would've been something like...

"All players play with their hands and top card of their libraries revealed."
"Chaos: Scry 5."

That being said, this one is straightforward and simple. I like it.

Reliquary Tower anyone? Also plane should just say: Draw a card.

"Aww yes! Panopticon!"

"Ehh... I don't like this plane. I'm rolling again"

"What? Man, don't do it! Nothing bad happens!"

(Rolls) "Yeah! Planeshift!"

(Next plane is Lethe Lake)

Look at the front tower in the art in darksteel citadel and read the flavor text. It's the same building.
