We have a Magic set that is paying homage to 40+ years of those classic D&D tropes and characters, and people are complaining it's not Forgotten Realmsy enough.This is a love letter to D&D, not Faerun specific. It's a mix of classic nostalgia and 5e sales marketing. If you asked me to make a set about Forgotten Realms, I'd say it was missing a few things, but as a set about generic D&D (with some FR branding) and I would say it's nearly perfect. My only complaints are elevating a relative newcomer (Ellywick) over an established character, and the lack of some setting-specific baddies like Strahd or Soth (I wanted a Strahd card for my Commander vampire Mardu deck). But I get why they did both.All things considered, I think the really did a good job capturing the feel of D&D in Magic. I'm excited to pick up some of my favorite D&D characters for a few casual decks or Commander.</blockquote>
