[QUOTE="gyor, post: 7763216, member: 6670153"] At most the baggage that Kara Tur has is the use of Oriental which now considered unPC to say, so they will likely just call it Kara Tur in the future, just as the SCAG called it Kara Tur. And Kara Tur as part of the Forgotten Realms is more popular then most D&D settings in it's own right, separate from Faerun, never mind Kamagawa which is far from one of the most popular MtG settings. The best Kamagawa can realistically expect is that Kara Tur borrows some of it's more interesting races. And Zakhara, the Al Qadim setting, is nothing like Amonkhet, there is to my knowledge no Egypt analog in Al Qadim, the Egypt analog in FR is Mulhorand and it's daughter states like Thay in Faeran. Al Qadim is a fantasy version of middle ages Islamic Caliphates, but Polytheistic, the closest you get to that in MtG is the Infinate Rahiahs, and I think we all know Rabiah isn't coming back, hence why it's the anchor of the Rabiah Scale. Neither Kara Tur nor Zakhara (Al Qadim) are "problematic" (I really loath that word now), no cheesy stereotypes that are insulting, no complaints coming from Asian or Middle Eastern peoples have been leveled at them, and the over 100 year jump in timeline can be used to improve them anyways.
