Message: <blockquote data-quote="gyor" data-source="post: 7468607" data-attributes="member: 6670153">I've been doing some research on MtG planes both to figure out why Ravnica out all those planes and what MtG plane might be next.  Of MtG planes,  most are too small and in many ways sparely populated,  most D&D setting have small regions that are bigger. Other planes seem like adjuncts to the main planes.  The ones that I saw that would be big and extensive enough to fill a hard cover book that haven't been done in a planeshift article already are: Ravnica,  Domaria,  Mirridon, Theros,  Rabiah,  and Alara.  Domiria is too much like FR, if they want to branch out thematically it's not the place to start,  but I'd be shocked if it's not planned already.  Rabiah is not originally part of MtGs planes,  it was an Arabian Nights themed deck based on earth originally,  but got changed into 1001 planes of Rabiah,  mirror universes basically. Still it has locations like Baghdad a real world city,  so it has major issues and WotC I believe have made it clear they don't intend to visit it again.  Mirridon/New Phlaxian (I will correct my spelling later), is too unfriendly to D&D in mechanics and nature IMO.  Theros,  Ravnica,  and Alara have potential.  Theros has at least 3 major human cities (polis),  two Zombie Necropolis), at least one major Leonid Den, Ruins from a previous empire among others,  mysterious seas and forests, a plane of the Gods (Nyx, perhaps a region of the Astral Sea),  a Plane of Underworld (Shadowfell?), and a number of smaller polis. This world has potential,  I mean it could use exploring some of the smaller Polis,  especially of none human races,  but I could see this filling a hard cover book of reasonable size. But it's not different enough from FR to go to it this soon.  That leaves Alara and Ravnica. Both appear to be vast settings with diverse races,  very different from FR. I think Ravnica one out because of the Guilds and that it was easier to translate to D&D,  yet far different then any classic D&D Setting,  even Eberron. Also because of Ravnica's cosmopolitan attitude to different races and species and it's diversity, it's easy to fit preexisting D&D races into Ravnica,  Especially if it's inherited being the Nexus of the Multiverse from Dominaria, which would help explain it's new connection to Classic D&D worlds.  Next up for MtG to D&D settings I believe will be Alara and then Dominaria or Theros IMO.</blockquote>
