Can you tell me more about the alternate history?Not sure if I'd call Tarkir my favorite since it came out while I had lapsed being involved with magic, but I'd be really interested to see them do something with it.
First, Tarkir is inspired by cultures that tend to be less represented among fantasy settings.
Second, the canonical alternative history could be used in some useful ways. An example adventure that was focused on that branch and potentially altering it could be written in a way to explicitly encourage different approaches to finding a solution to obstacles. It could also be useful for providing advice on how groups could use published settings but not feel bound to sticking with official canon and instead be flexible in making it their own
As I said, I'm not too up on the lore details, but basic idea is the original timeline had extinct dragons, with 5 rival clans. A planeswalker traveled in team to ensure the dragons survived, which led to them defeating the khans, and in the present day Tarkir is ruled by 5 elder dragonsCan you tell me more about the alternate history?
If we ever get Dominaria this would be my preferred version of it. More distinct, less fantasy kitchen sink (which is a niche already filled.by FR.)Ice Age would be my pick. So many of those cards would translate well to D&D lore.
I’d do Tarkir but set it just before Khanfall allowing the Khans to survive and actually fight back against the dragons (and their allies). The biggest attraction is having the five clans and ‘central asian’ world to play in, with dragons.As I said, I'm not too up on the lore details, but basic idea is the original timeline had extinct dragons, with 5 rival clans.

Eldraine is an amazing setting and I think/hope we'll see a book for it to coincide with the new MtG set next year.I’d do Tarkir but set it just before Khanfall allowing the Khans to survive and actually fight back against the dragons (and their allies).

Eldraine is my other pick, Knights and Castle romance, alongside fairytales and realms play
I think that is very fair. But for those that like kitchen sink, I do believe Ice Age offers something fun.If we ever get Dominaria this would be my preferred version of it. More distinct, less fantasy kitchen sink (which is a niche already filled.by FR.)
