[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7967045, member: 6670153"] Ravnica at least wasn't as tied to Greek Mythology as much, so there was less over lap and in fact there were a bunch of Ravnican monsters that should have been in the book IMHO, but weren't. Still the setting that would be richest in terms of unique monsters would IMHO be Ikoria which just came out. They really pushed the evelop with that one outside the usual creatures. The problem with Ikoria is it only has humans for the most part, no Player race options, a problem shared with Innistrad. One possible solution for these two worlds would be a bunch of Variant human options. Or to have a MtG MM style book. If not from the lack of races issue, Ikoria would be perfect once it gets a second set. Given that some of the monsters are sentient, you could maybe make the first none humaniod/Centaur PC races. Or use the evolution mechanic to create new weird humaniod races. This is also why I voted Amonket in that poll, although obviously Zendikar will come first. Amonket has a bunch of cool races already, although I would add a cat race to the next set, and maybe a playable Mummy race some how. The only issue Amonket has is that it needs to expand the setting beyond the first city and dead with it's dead almost completely dead Pantheon issue. Healing Amonket from it's curse or partially lifting it could allow for that. Or you could just do something really crazy and have an Eldrazi or something slam Amonket right into Theros, fusing the two planes together. Having a war between Theros' Gods and Amonkets could be really freaking cool, even if the fusion of planes is just temporary. I don't think New Phrexia will get the D&D campaign treatment because pretty much no one but Phrexians are left, but if they invade another plane, it becomes a possiblity of getting them as monsters in another setting.
