[QUOTE="Urriak Uruk, post: 7962635, member: 7015558"] It only really creates "lore problems" for those who think they even exist. Lore can be pretty subjective, especially for when it is kept as purposefully vague as the relationship between MtG and D&D is. There are also no mechanical problems (at least in rules) that I see. Do they "fester"? I'd say no. This isn't exactly a disease after all, we are talking about fiction.'' As far as I've seen, there is no mention of how MtG worlds fit into D&D cosmology in any book (unlike Eberron, which does devote some writing to it). The closest thing to an official statement is Jeremy Crawford's interview on Dragon Talk, where he mentions that yes, MtG worlds do fit into D&D's cosmology. However, he doesn't go any deeper than "Yes, it's part of the cosmology." [I]How [/I]it fits is never said, and that is 100% purposeful. After all, a bunch of Magic Lore purists will likely be frustrated to learn their worlds have existed under a different system's cosmology all this time with no mention, and D&D purists will likely be frustrated that worlds that don't follow the same rules of D&D (chiefly, planeswalkers) and yet there has been no crossovers to prove it. The answer to how MtG fits into D&D's cosmology is one purposefully left to the DM to decide. [/QUOTE]
