Look at the intro to Planeshift: ZendikarPlane Shift: Zendikar was made using the fifth edition of the D&D rules that you can find here. D&D is a flexible rules system designed to model any kind of fantasy world. The D&D magic system doesn’t involve five colors of mana or a ramping-up to your most powerful spells, but the goal isn’t to mirror the experience of playing Magic in your roleplaying game. The point is to experience the worlds of Magic in a new way, through the lens of the D&D rules. All you really need is races for the characters, monsters for them to face, and some ideas to build a campaign.THAT is what is promised. That is what has been delivered. As a MtG player who started in Revised, Dominaria is near-and-dear to my heart. But its a terrible place to start. First off, it hasn't been relevant in over a decade. Before 2018's Dominaria expansion, the last set to be set there was 2007's Time Spiral block. Its most a Realms-like setting of generic fantasy tropes, cataclysms-of-the-week, and uber-NPCs that make everyone else irrelevant. Luckily, the 2018 return turned the setting into a stable, if generic, fantasy setting. Simply put, Dominaria offers little that Forgotten Realms doesn't also offer. Ravnica was picked because MtG is going to be there for the next year-and-a-half over three sets. It will include the finale of the Gatewatch story, and (as stated before) has the most sets of any post-Modern plane.  So you're just here yelling at clouds then?</blockquote>
