Theros (plane)

Theros is a plane where the Theros block and other Theros sets take place. It is similar to Hellenic Greece. The name may be from the Ancient Greek word θέρος (théros), meaning summer. The name may also be a portmanteau of the words "the" and "heroes", considering the heavy emphasis on Heroes on...

Interesting. I wonder if we'll get a Theros coffee table artbook, too.

 

[Paul Farquhar]

I see no reason D&D players can't buy a MtG flagged book for the art and lore.

They cancelled that line of products...right after Ravnica took off in D&D.

The war of the spark art book is due out in October, has it been cancelled?

Well, don of a gun: I saw Wyatt say something about there not being any art books moving forwards, but maybe that was just Eldraine not getting a tie in.

That happened, then they changed their mind later, it's WotC. Why do so many folks not realize that just because WotC says things, that doesn't mean they won't change their mind later (not targeted to you, just a general statement based on observations in general).

 

[SkidAce]

This is so....FANTASTICALLY flavorful.

I adding four Theros Trailers to the OP.

 

[gyor]

It occurs to me that the traditional setting that Theros most resembles is Planescape, because beliefs shape reality in both settings even without spellcasting.
