Magic will come back here, and I think a D&D book would work very well.- Zendikar, the D&D style exploration and Adventure Plane. There is a Magic set coming out here in Q4 2020, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a full D&D Setting book in the not too distant future.Tier 2, the Major Magic Planes:- Eldraine, the High Concept Fairy Tale Plane: Magic just went there, but they are currently bullish about going back. A D&D tie in here, with Adventure generation material based on Fairy Tale tropes? Killer.- Ikoria, Kaijupalooza. They are currently bullish about going back. I could see a tie-in having cool monster potential.- Theros, Greek Epic Fantasy, Magic just went here and now D&D is too.Tier 3, the middle of the road Magic Planes:- Alara, a mechanically driven multi-color Plane with some far-out shenanigans. I could see Magic going back here someday, and a D&D interpretation would be fun, and a trip.- Amonkhet, the Egyptian Mythology stand-in Plane: there are some narrative issues with returning here, but Maro is optimistic, and the theme is strong. A D&D pseudo-Egypt book would be HOT, so I hope to see that.- Fiora, a Rennisance Italy style Plane. May or may not ever be focused on by Magic, might work for D&D...but needs more fleshing out.- Ixalan, Dinosaur and Pirates and Aztecs. Would be fun, but time will tell if it ever comes back.- Kaladesh, steampunk and MAGIC SCIENCE. I wouldn't be surprised if this never comes back, honestly.- Lorwyn-Shadowmoor, a Celtic-y Get world. It would sure be a different D&D experience, since there are no Humans at all...- New Phyrexia, a world conquered and terraformed by Demons. It was super .etal before that, but it would sure be interesting for D&D after the conquest...- Regatha, a pretty undefined Plane. Might get defined more in the future, bit we'll see..- Tarkir, a mechanically driven multi-color Plane with strong Central Asian flavor. Honorable mention for formerly being Tier 2. If Magic comes back here, it would make a very strong D&D Setting.- Vryn, a largely unexplored Plane, bit one of the main Magic characters comes from here. Maybe someday, but we wouldn't know what to expect from this now...Honestly, Tier 4 and 5 are pretty much out of the picture entirely...</blockquote>
