I'm not completely ruling it out, but it just doesn't feel like its emulating a lot of known MtG tropes. MtG doesn't have a strong tradition of rune knights, swarmkeepers, or truenamers; not enough to warrant them over more obvious choices like Cathars, Dragon Shamans, or Pyromancers. But each subclass does draw off a nontraditional power source. A monk drawing off the Astral rather than inner ki, a sorcerer drawing off aberrations rather than dragons, etc. I don't know if its one setting per se, but it feels like they want to stretch the definitions of what each class is about in some way. I'm doubting its a real setting book. It doesn't fit any single MtG setting or D&D world, beyond nebulous "the planes" or "the multiverse." I also doubt they would want to release a whole new setting before getting around to updating classic D&D settings like Dark Sun. That leads me to believe this has to be a supplement rather than a setting, and I don't think the "Xanathar's 2" model (aka a collection of rules and crunch dropped willy-nilly without a grander context) but I could see something with some sort of theme loosely tying these all together.It will be interesting to see what the group cooks up.</blockquote>
