D&D 5E Adventures in the Forgotten Realms MtG set Planeswalkers confirmed.

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

Corporate magic.

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 . . .

It can be dicey, I would recommend talking to your FLGS if that's an option, they can help with navigating distributor issues. It should be possible to get eventually, though, as this is not a limited run product.

Why are people trying to force these universes together? It's just marketing.

I don't want MTG to be part of the Forgotten Realms AT ALL.

Don't forget there will be a 40K set as well, it's just marketing.

They confirmed there is no metaphor connection, but Blake got very squirlly when asked if any MtG characters would appear.

Whose Blake?

And to clarify there will likely be regular MtG planeswalkers in "The List" slots, but they don't count as part of a set.

The darkest, most foul of sorceries indeed.

Me neither, 100% agree. I'm excited about this MTG set as a self-contained Forgotten Realms game. But if WotC does move forward with merging D&D multiverse lore with MTG lore, there's no doubt in my mind that it would be Spellplague 2.0.

Because they already have shoved them together on the D&D side. They have a special brand for non-canon products they are using for Warhammer they aren't using for the D&D set. And I don't buy the excuse it's just a matter of them owning the IP.

It's not excitement on my part, it's cynicism.

The Warhammer 40k and LotR sets are part of Universes Beyond, so unlike AFR its not standard/historic/pioneer/brawl/modern legal, its only legal in eternal formats.

They could have made D&D AFR Universes Beyond, but choose not to because according to WotC while they aren't merging the D&D and MtG multiverses yet, BUT they are considering merging them in the future if they can figure out a cool way to do it and most fans are okay with it.

I support it and I think there is enough support in the community and pragmatic reasons to do so that they will merge in a few years.

Because I love this sort of thing. The more, the merrier.
