LMFAO, they would have to explain how he jumped between unconnected multiverses.

They bought passage on the Weatherlight!

I don't see anyone from Greyhawk at all. This is a Forgotten Realms set, so the planeswalkers will likely all be from the powerful of the Realms. If this set is successful(and by all appearances it will be), expect to see Greyhawk and other sets come down the line. Vecna, Eclavdra, Gord and all of those will likely come then.

The rule when designing a set is at least some, if not all Planeswalkers come from outside of the setting where the set takes place. For example of Strixhaven's planeswalkers, none where native to Arcvious where it takes place, in Kaldheim 3 of 4 Planeswalkers were not from Kaldheim, in Zendikar Rising 1 of 3 Planeswalkers where not from Zendikar. Every set with Planeswalkers has to have some of them from places external to its own setting.

That is why the Forgotten Realms has to borrow wizards from other D&D settings to act as Planeswalkers, if they are all from Toril that doesn't express planeswalking, aka moving from one setting to another. Its also likely why Dream of the Blue Veil was in Tasha's Couldron of Everything, as a way D&D "Planeswalkers" can move between material Plane D&D settings like FR, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, and Eberron. This is why I expect to see Mordenkainen, maybe Tasha, and Fizban as Planeswalkers (in addition to local FR planeswalkers).

Also bonus is it can tempt D&D fans of other D&D settings, but not FR, to buy product.

OK—a big thank you again to everyone who helped me figure out what I want to buy from this set earlier on in this thread. But now I have another question: do these things sell out like high-demand concert tickets as soon as they go on preorder? Because every site I visit to try to preorder the Commander decks says they're already sold out of their allocation . . .

Try Amazon.com . What did you choose?

vecna screams Greyhawk to me.

I’m assuming any character who has shown up in FR is fair game, even if it’s not their home setting.

 

[Charlaquin]

Why bother pretending it's not just Jace Beleren again?

I’m pretty sure it’s been confirmed that no M:tG characters are going to show up in this set.

They’re not really unconnected any more. People native to Toril can travel to Ravnica with the Dream of the Blue Veil spell, so I don’t see any reason the opposite couldn’t happen.

It won’t in this set, but there’s no lore reason it couldn’t. And I imagine it probably will eventually, unless this set tanks.

Unfortunately, yes. The secondary market for trading cards, and especially Magic cards, is in a really crazy place right now, with people treating cards like stocks. Buyouts are common and it’s making a lot of card games nearly unplayable in physical form right now.

How did thw Weatherlight jump across universes?

I don't remember, but it was a plane shifting flying ship. That much I do remember. Fun set.

Edit: This is what MTG Fandom says.

Manipulation of the sails was the primary way the Weatherlight steered at low velocities. At higher speeds the sails converted to airfoils, warping to allow steering, in addition to the vane that split the ship's exhaust. The Weatherlight's engine provided the main power for the vessel. Its power plant, the core of which is a massive crystal that transformed mana into fuel, created the levitation field and enabled planar travel. Two rudders were fitted into the stern, flanking the exhaust manifold and conforming to the curve of the hull.

The Magic team and D&D are in two different places on this. In D&D they are connected, but in Magic lore they have said Forgotten Realms is not in the Magic multiverse, and spells such as Dream of the Blue Veil don't exist.
