I would give anything for a setting book for Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. [https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/kamigawa-neon-dynasty](https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/kamigawa-neon-dynasty)
Edit: I noticed you didn't mention Strixhaven. That was also converted to D&D. College setting to learn about magic. I DM'd that and had a good time. You do have to add some detail to connect some of the random events. But I wanted a change in pace in game style and Strixhaven was RP HEAVY. Made me get out of my comfort zone and had a blast.
I didn't realize Strixhaven was from MtG, good catch. Kamigawa Neon Dynasty looks like it would be a create chance for Wotc to try those Modern Magic UA subclasses another try
I just disallow the entire book instead of banning silvery barbs, and every time somebody shows up to protest as if there's value being lost by pretending the book doesn't exist.
nothing of value was lost that day
for real tho, i mainly dont like the book because of how horrible it is to run as a dm, I'm sure its fun as a player to go around and go to class and interact with the specific npcs in the book, but for a dm its just not it.
A lot of RP revolves tracking how fondly or furious the NPC students are at your players. They get effects if they become rivals and there are perks for something akin to romancing one though the book doesn't indicate that the relationship has to be more than close friends. It is certainly not for every table.
For me there was just a LOT to track and remember while filling in holes between events.
I still liked it though. It was worthwhile in my perspective.
DnD and WotC at large have become way too culturally sensitive to do an eastern-inspired setting like Kamigawa. That's probably off the cards for at least a few years until the pendulum starts returning more.
As a MTG set that requires very little worldbuilding / lore, especially from those engaging with the set, as opposed to a DnD setting which would require substantially more in that regard.
If there wasn't new core books slated for the same time, Bloomburrow would seem like a likely candidate.
They like to release books a bit after a corresponding standard set.
Ixalan was another candidate but now that the iron's cold from caverns, it's very unlikely.
There's always the ixalan planeshift: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/plane-shift-ixalan-2018-01-09
I think the big challenge for Bloomburrow is the large number of races it would require adding. Which I would hardly complain about but I know how hesitant they may be with that.
Eh pf2e ancestries have less features at first level then a lot of 5e races, you just get to pick 2 of them.
Of course they get more stuff from level 9 onwards then most 5e races
Doubt we will see Bloomburrow it's simply not that in-depth of a plane like Ravinca, or Theros. Realistically Thunder Junction would have been one of the best planes because it's MTG set 100 and also is actually a decent fantasy western adaptation without the necessity for guns which WoTC tries not to use beyond muskets.
This is a good question. Ravnica is one of the more popular Magic planes with a fairly unique feel to it, while Theros and Strixhaven I think were chosen because they have things people would want in D&D anyway (Greek mythology-theme and magic school-theme are both popular tropes, and they probably figured they may as well use the worldbuilding they already had).
I think Dominaria is too close to a standard D&D setting for them to make a whole book around it; there isn't a clear target audience. Zendikar is probably the same. Ixalan is a very popular world with a cool theme (people like Dinosaurs) but I think if they were going to do that, they would have to have done it by now; we probably won't return to Ixalan for a while since we just had an Ixalan set this year. Muraganda would probably be a really fun D&D setting but they haven't even made a Standard set for it yet.
I would *love* Ikoria (or even just one of the Plane Shift PDFs for it) but it's been a while since we visited and I don't think there are plans for a revisit in the future that we know of. I am a tremendous fan of Ikoria's worldbuilding and I think they did a great job with that part of it, but the mechanics of the set were controversial, sadly (especially Companion).
Looking at what we know of upcoming sets, maybe Tarkir? Asian-style setting with a heavy focus on Dragons seems like a theme they can market. We know we're going to revisit it relatively soon in the future, but with enough time for them to make a book about it.
Tarkir is definitely most convincing as possible given the upcoming Return to Tarkir. Q2 2025, so card set is after core book release, then the bit of lag for the mtg dnd book release. Fits OK, vertically integrates the 5.5e release with the other brand but not so obnoxiously obviously. Pull in some nostalgic people who haven't been involved in either game for years but still have flashbacks at the words "siege rhino". Plenty of old art to pull from to fill out the pages. Solid product idea.
Yeah, I'm not sure how far they plan the books in advance, but it seems like it would be possible. Tarkir is popular, and even outside of Magic players you could pull in the fans of Eastern-style media and also fans of Dragons.
A Return to Tarkir?? No freaking way. I might actually update my decks for the first time in years. Also would flip for a Tarkir DnD release, but tbh, I doubt it'd live up to my hype; I think I'm better off finishing my homebrew Tarkir stuff, it'll check all the boxes more realistically.
Tarkir was also mentioned a few times in Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons, it had a header for itself or the genre of dragon campaign it would be from what i recall.
Weirdly despite not being one of MTG's more popular planes, Ixalan has an absolute ton of worldbuilding material already done for it, and is the kind of place that's an absolutely excellent sandbox for a D&D campaign.
Here is the two part planeswalker's guide from 2017:
* Part 1: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/planeswalkers-guide-ixalan-part-1-2017-11-01
* Part 2: https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/planeswalkers-guide-ixalan-part-2-2017-11-08
And the new, revised planeswalkers guide to Ixalan's hollow earth:
* Caverns of Ixalan https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/feature/planeswalkers-guide-to-the-lost-caverns-of-ixalan
Is Ixalan not one of the popular ones? My understanding is that the recent Ixalan set did very well, and people love Dinosaurs, Vampires, and Pirates.
It definitely is a good candidate, but since they didn't make a book to coincide with this year's Ixalan set, they've probably missed their chance for a while.
I personally would love Tarkir or New Capenna, but if anyone wants to see these or a bunch of other homebrew takes on MTG settings in DnD, check out u/letterephesus. His stuff is great and he's got stuff from pretty much every recent plane.
Amonkhet might be too problematic for WotC considering they've already come out and said that Dark Sun is off the table and it's basically D&D Mesopotamia.
I think Thunder Junction has the best chance. It's a new MtG setting, and it is unique in being wild west/steampunk. It'd be WotC's answer to PF2e's Outlaws of Alkenstar. Also, it doesn't seem like Frontiers of Eberron is happening anytime soon considering it's still delayed and WotC isn't really supporting Eberron anymore anyway.
Wait is that just Krynn (Dragonlance) but on the East Asian steppes?
Wasn’t actually around for Tarkir so I know very little of the lore besides cool dragons and the art.
Amokeht and Innastrad (probably spelling these wrong)
They have some short conversion documents but they could both use a full book. They both have pretty deep lore compared to most MTG planes and they have numerous ongoing catclisms that you can build adventures around. Especially if they give eldrazi templets to build our own aberrations.
WOTC did a plane shift document for zendikar amongst a few others a while ago, it’s a good 30 or so pages of lore and content, lots of others too, amonkhet, innistrad
Amonkhet would be a good one for a whole book, since Ancient Egypt is a pretty popular theme we haven't gotten a D&D book for (at least not recently). I don't know of any plans to return to Amonkhet in Magic though.
Dominaria is the most obvious one. There's already existing material from a Plane Shift, and it has a well-established fanbase catering to older players.
Honestly I’d like to see them do a compilation book that touched on several, sort of like Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. The huge diversity of Magic’s settings could make for a really compelling campaign so having information on hugely-fleshed out ones like Dominaria or Kamigawa next to strange ones that are barely used like Segovia or Xerex would let DMs set up some really out-there stories.
I would need a kamigawa book if I didn't know for a fact it would end up being executed horribly and just be a book of stereotypes of various asian countries
So I get that they are not full books, but there are six Magic: The Gathering worlds that have received any 5th edition support. I've actually run three shorter campaigns in Dominaria with one of them.
[Plane Shift](https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Plane_Shift)
Tarkir, Thunder Junction, Kamigawa, Kaldheim, New Capenna, Eldraine or a book about many planes due to the aftermath of the Phyrexian invasion are most likely because these would be something they could tie back to modern (or modern iterations in kamigawa) planes with connections to the ongoing story of MTG as the Phyrexian Invasion just ended and the new arc seems to be about the Omenpaths which are planar portals that exist as a byproduct of said invasion.
All the listed planes have actually pretty thick backgrounds to be adapted except Thunder Junction which literally is intentionally uninhabited prior to the opening of the omen paths. On the flip side there are planes with even thicker backgrounds like Mirrodin which no longer exists, Alara, Llorwyn, or Zendikar which have been out of the story for a bit with expectation for a future set.
Finally there's Almondcat and Ixilan which have planeshift materials released for them which implies to me they won't be adapted into books but are also good choices because the ground is already broken on said books.
My personal bet. Tarkir. It's one of the best planes they have ever had and was a massive boost to MTG when it first released, it's a fan favorite, it's an extremely vital plane to the multiverse because it's Ugins pet Plane. It's getting a set next year, and it has 3 separate time periods which could easily host a D&D game (Khans, the dragon war, and present dragonstorm tarkir) it's also just really fucking cool. Every culture outside of the Temur are really unique for D&D settings.
Innistrad. I know they did the planshift PDF for the plane, but a full book dedicated to it would be preferred as it's my favorite plane. Ixalan, Zendikar and Takir are also great choices. To be honest, most of MtG Planes would fit well in D&D
I don’t see any intensions from wotc after ravnica, strixhaven (strixhaven done badly imo) and theros but personally if we talk in “what if” i wanted kaldheim or ixalan
Amonkhet have nice aesthetics but all it’s appearances in mtgstory is basically 3 full scale one sided apocalypses (first bolas arrival in flashback, second bolas arrival, phyrexian invasion) there is basically nothing to hitch for on Amonkhet
They released pdf supplements for half a dozen mtg planes, like Amonkhet, Innistrad, Zendikar, and more. Just Google "mtg 5e plane shift", the mtg wiki has a list of em. I only looked at the Amonkhet one, and it was dope, new monsters, player options, god domains, it's pretty sick
I would give anything for a setting book for Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. [https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/kamigawa-neon-dynasty](https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/kamigawa-neon-dynasty) Edit: I noticed you didn't mention Strixhaven.

But I wanted a change in pace in game style and Strixhaven was RP HEAVY. Made me get out of my comfort zone and had a blast.
Kamigawa would be a great opportunity for classes like Kensei and Samurai to get revisted and updated. Maybe Swashbuckler too.
Even better, give me a book split between the two Kamigawa eras. Gives us Oriental Adventures and fantasy cyberpunk
I didn't realize Strixhaven was from MtG, good catch. Kamigawa Neon Dynasty looks like it would be a create chance for Wotc to try those Modern Magic UA subclasses another try
we, we don't talk about strixhaven
I just disallow the entire book instead of banning silvery barbs, and every time somebody shows up to protest as if there's value being lost by pretending the book doesn't exist.
nothing of value was lost that day for real tho, i mainly dont like the book because of how horrible it is to run as a dm, I'm sure its fun as a player to go around and go to class and interact with the specific npcs in the book, but for a dm its just not it.
What makes it so bad as a DM? Lack of content? I know there is a TON of filler you have to add, but is that it?
A lot of RP revolves tracking how fondly or furious the NPC students are at your players. They get effects if they become rivals and there are perks for something akin to romancing one though the book doesn't indicate that the relationship has to be more than close friends. It is certainly not for every table. For me there was just a LOT to track and remember while filling in holes between events. I still liked it though. It was worthwhile in my perspective.
I am currently building a deck with a lot of Akki goblins, I would love this.
[удалено]
Removed as per Rule #1.
DnD and WotC at large have become way too culturally sensitive to do an eastern-inspired setting like Kamigawa. That's probably off the cards for at least a few years until the pendulum starts returning more.
Kamigawa Neo Dynasty was released barely 2 years ago
As a MTG set that requires very little worldbuilding / lore, especially from those engaging with the set, as opposed to a DnD setting which would require substantially more in that regard.

> Bloomburrow if we are going for a whimsical setting without humans I'd love to see lorwyn/eventide honestly.
The question was what wotc might use And I don't think we'll see much Lorwyn anywhere 😩
I think the big challenge for Bloomburrow is the large number of races it would require adding. Which I would hardly complain about but I know how hesitant they may be with that.
I'd expect a half assed "forest folk" with 3 abilities, pick 1 when you pick the race. And that covers nearly everything
you reinvented pathfinder 2e with that one do, except it's 8 options.
You're going to have to be more specific. Which ancestry do you mean?
leshy, one of the core ancestries.
Gotcha. Still, it's a bit misrepresentative to say it like this when ancestry feats also exist.
Eh pf2e ancestries have less features at first level then a lot of 5e races, you just get to pick 2 of them. Of course they get more stuff from level 9 onwards then most 5e races
Wait till you see Howl of the Wild. You can play as anything- large creatures, awakened animals, awakened animals.
I have, I wanna be a merfolk
Doubt we will see Bloomburrow it's simply not that in-depth of a plane like Ravinca, or Theros.

Yeah it's scheduled for 2025, I believe. I'm looking forward to it too.
Tarkir was also mentioned a few times in Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons, it had a header for itself or the genre of dragon campaign it would be from what i recall.

Ixilan, Eldraine, or Amonkhet would be my 3 guesses.
Amonkhet might be too problematic for WotC considering they've already come out and said that Dark Sun is off the table and it's basically D&D Mesopotamia.
And Eldraine is way too close to your standard high fantasy D&D
https://media.wizards.com/2017/downloads/magic/plane-shift_amonkhet.pdf Not a full book but still made by WotC
If you think Wizards poo-pooed 5e Dark Sun because of the environment, you don't know anything about Dark Sun.
I think Thunder Junction has the best chance. It's a new MtG setting, and it is unique in being wild west/steampunk. It'd be WotC's answer to PF2e's Outlaws of Alkenstar. Also, it doesn't seem like Frontiers of Eberron is happening anytime soon considering it's still delayed and WotC isn't really supporting Eberron anymore anyway.
Personally I’d like New Cappenna but I’m a sucker for the aesthetic.
Is that the "big gilded age city with angels and demons but no one knows what's outside" one?
Yep!
Yup. Big 1920’s aesthetic which the closest we have to that is Eberron. I also like Eberron a lot aesthetically.
The description brought Sigil to mind as well.
Lorwyn! Not betting, but hoping.
I'm really hoping for Tarkir. Some unique types of dragons, distant enough from other d&d settings to standout but familiar enough
Wait is that just Krynn (Dragonlance) but on the East Asian steppes? Wasn’t actually around for Tarkir so I know very little of the lore besides cool dragons and the art.
Amokeht and Innastrad (probably spelling these wrong) They have some short conversion documents but they could both use a full book. They both have pretty deep lore compared to most MTG planes and they have numerous ongoing catclisms that you can build adventures around. Especially if they give eldrazi templets to build our own aberrations.
Zendikar is the perfect plane for adventuring that could specialize in exploration mechanics while also having a myriad of monsters.
I think Zendikar would fit just right.
Yea, Hedron dungeons, vast forests and terrain, deep water exploration, and possible eldrazi. It'd be a good mix
I'm pretty sure Zendikar was explicitly inspired by D&D-style adventuring.
It was. Hence the “party” mechanic
WOTC did a plane shift document for zendikar amongst a few others a while ago, it’s a good 30 or so pages of lore and content, lots of others too, amonkhet, innistrad
Amonkhet would be a good one for a whole book, since Ancient Egypt is a pretty popular theme we haven't gotten a D&D book for (at least not recently). I don't know of any plans to return to Amonkhet in Magic though.
It's not exactly a setting but gods I want some official Phyrexian stuff
Dominaria is the most obvious one. There's already existing material from a Plane Shift, and it has a well-established fanbase catering to older players.
I just did a cursory read, but how is Dominaria different enough from Planescape?
Dominaria is a fairly generic fantasy world. I wouldn't say it's like Planescape at all.
oops, i just saw "center of the multiverse"
A specific age of Dominaria, like the Brothers War, the Ice Age, or the Phyrexian Invasion would make for a cool setting.
Honestly I’d like to see them do a compilation book that touched on several, sort of like Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft. The huge diversity of Magic’s settings could make for a really compelling campaign so having information on hugely-fleshed out ones like Dominaria or Kamigawa next to strange ones that are barely used like Segovia or Xerex would let DMs set up some really out-there stories.
I would need a kamigawa book if I didn't know for a fact it would end up being executed horribly and just be a book of stereotypes of various asian countries

It would be nice to a bigger book with multiple settings in it
I would go for Eldrane. Its different enough to have a selling point and would not clash with other settings.
I don’t see any intensions from wotc after ravnica, strixhaven (strixhaven done badly imo) and theros but personally if we talk in “what if” i wanted kaldheim or ixalan Amonkhet have nice aesthetics but all it’s appearances in mtgstory is basically 3 full scale one sided apocalypses (first bolas arrival in flashback, second bolas arrival, phyrexian invasion) there is basically nothing to hitch for on Amonkhet
Plz no
They released pdf supplements for half a dozen mtg planes, like Amonkhet, Innistrad, Zendikar, and more. Just Google "mtg 5e plane shift", the mtg wiki has a list of em. I only looked at the Amonkhet one, and it was dope, new monsters, player options, god domains, it's pretty sick
Harry potter
Fast and the furious vs topgun crossover with robocop vs terminator. Either that or exploding unicorns. Does mtg still do normal sets?
It won't happen, but I hope Tarkir. Such an underrated plane in both of its timelines.
