WotC New M:tG set announced: "Adventures in the Forgotten Realms"

[Parmandur]

View attachment 125366The news was likely that in next year’s third quarter there will be a MTG block set in the Forgotten Realms. So now not only are there D&D magic settings, but also D&D-based MTG cards

Vikings, Harry Potter, D&D, and Twilight.

Quite the pop culture panoply there.

I'm going to ahead and predict an Innistrad D&D book next year, or maybe a Forgotten Realms Setting book to tie in with Magic.

Your party features up to one each of a Cleric, Rogue, Warrior, and Wizard:

It's also interesting to note that the Forgotten Realms card set is displacing the Core Set next year: seems they want to use it as an intro product.

I would be disappointed if such occurred. The PDF was enough. I am not really into the M:TG crossover action, so far; not how I would have liked it approached.

I was expecting to not like the idea when they did it. But, to paraphrase Dickens "'I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a schoolboy. I am as giddy as a drunken man."

And I assume my 11yo will be thrilled.

It's certainly more exciting now than it would have been in the late 90's. They took their time.

So... have we heard anything?

M:tG could reuse old D&D settings, for example Jakandor, what is the risk? Or Birthright. Maybe Dragonlance in a future.

Sorry, M:tG isn't my cup of coffee. I am a collector, and I would rather to create stories with my imagination.

It would be very fun a new M:tG plane based in Hasbro's Visionaries franchise.

Considering how many demands for crossovers you've asked for, the idea that you don't like this is something I find hilarious.

Also, cleaner image of the schedule...
