Like <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superman_vs._The_Amazing_Spider-Man" target="_blank">Superman vs. Spider-man</a>. Where for that issue they just pretend the heroes are in the same universe and Spider-man could swing from New York to Metropolis. The hardcover book comes out and says "Ravnica is part of the D&D multiverse". But, really, it's only for that one book. Because none of the big planar events or lore of Magic will have any impact on D&D or future D&D stories, and vise versa. Just like all the big cosmological changes and shake-ups from the past of D&D had zero impact on Magic. The D&D Multiverse isn't Dominia. Sigil is at the centre of the multiverse and not the Nexus. The Blind Eternities and Aether are not a thing in D&D. Crystal Spheres and phlogiston are not in MtG. The Nine Hells in D&D are different from the <a href="https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Phyrexia" target="_blank">Nine Hells</a> of Magic the Gathering.I'm sure it's possible to reconcile the radically different cosmologies and unite the two product lines... but I doubt very much that's what they're doing. I expect they're doing the absolute minimum amount of explanation and just saying "Ravnica and the Magic planes are in the same multiverse as D&D now, m'kay?"</blockquote>
