I'm curious what the cards will be for various people in the Realms...or if they will invent all new characters.
I say that because it would go a long way to being able to convert MTG NPCs into D&D stats if we have cards to compare. |

It's just an FR-themed set for Magic.
There's no further ramifications, here. The current design team will not give us a proper campaign setting book -- because then they'd have to actually nail down something. Right now, they're keeping everything as vague as they possibly can so they can make more adventures without any regard to continuity.
This announcement is really more of the same: milking the Forgotten Realms name for all that they can, without developing it or adding to it.
The Forgotten Realms is just a brand, to these folks. |

| We’ll probably get more lore from this set than we have in all of 5e. I don’t get the complaining and catastrophizing on this one; this is content, it might even be good, and if it sells well we have every reason to expect more Realms stuff. |

| Does this mean that DnD & FR will be getting that sweet sweet MtG money again? Can we get new novels that aren't Drizzt related?!! |

I don't know how we'd get new lore on a bunch of cards... Especially given that even in the books we've gotten thus far, the lore has been sparse, at best.
I don't want to be a downer on this... But since 4E was announced, every time I've dared to get my hopes up, with regards to new lore, I've either been mildly disappointed or crushingly disappointed and highly irritated. I went out of my way to defend WotC for a long time and practically begged people to give WotC a chance, and what WotC gave us in return was worse than most naysayers predicted.
So I could be mistaken, here -- but going by what they've given us thus far, in 5E, I think low expectations are still optimistic. |

| How often do they release sets and how many cards are typically in a "set"? I'm surprised they were announcing like several new product lines, as I didn't know people were really buying that many mtg sets to collect anymore. I haven't played this game in probably 20 years, but I did enjoy it. I'd be willing to buy a couple decks just to have enough to play a round (think I have 2 decks in my closet that I bought on a whim 8 years back that I never used) if it had FR characters on them. Lord knows they've already got artwork out there. |

There’s flavor text on a lot of cards, and they just announced they’re going back to their old model of two short fiction pieces a week for each set. |

Sets every three months, ~300 cards a set, and that’s just counting Standard-legal, not stuff released for other formats. |

When you buy a basic deck for them, do you still get all the same cards, or is that pretty random? Just wondering if it would be worth it to buy like 2 maybe 3 decks with guessing something like 60 cards in each versus a bunch of little booster packs. |

They sell what they call Planeswalker Decks as an introductory product, and then boosters still exist - though the more cost effective way is to buy individual specific cards you want from resellers. |

Some more info on the FR set, it really makes me think a FRCG type book is coming, I mean it sounds like they invested alot into the artwork for FR for them not to use it. We are likely talking over 300 pieces of FR art work if you include alternate art work, and any tie in products. Planeswalker and/or Commander Decks are very likely in my honest opinion. And it does sound like a tie in story is coming with the set. |

Minor correction, its a 1 chapter per day on Wesdays and 1 Short Story on Fridays, so its like getting both a novel and an anthology for free for every set, over times. |

I'm not going to get my hopes up for a FRCG. They've had YEARS to do one and have ignored the fan base throughout them. I don't play MtG (or similar games) but there is SERIOUS money in them. This, to me, is just an attempt to form a gateway between the two for MtG players to develop interest in the Realms and strict DnD players to get interested in MtG. I'm not complaining, they have every right to make money...I just don't see them giving us new lore after so many years without it. There's also the fact that they've ignored everything beyond the Sword Coast when there are so many other popular areas to develop in the current era of the Realms (Cormyr, the Dalelands, the Moonsea, etc).
No, we won't get what we want. |
I have a dream that one day, all game worlds will exist as one. |

MtG itself has accumulated tons of lore from a bunch of cards.
It's a style emulated in the "flavor text" descriptors appended to things in many video games - like Torchlight, Fallout, Borderlands, Diablo - which have become the basis of much popular lore and even additional game mechanics or game content.
Not all of this flavor text lore is great. A lot is vapid and cheesy. Some is always too comical, too grim, or too bizarre to properly fit into the setting (yet too many people treat it too seriously). Or it just outright wrong from in-setting perspective because it had to reformatted into something else which provides out-of-setting game balance.
But still a lot of flavor text can accumulate into a lot of lore. Far more than what the text itself proclaims. |

| If nothing else, it’s an excuse to get several hundred new pieces of expensive Realms artwork. I hope at least one dragonborn sneaks in. |

I saw the news and I don't think words can describe just how excited I am for this! As both a avid MTG player (casual as it is, I don't like tournaments), and consumer of their lore and cards and to have that interpose into the Realms....well it's just fantastic IMO.
we should be getting cards that reflect a ton of the heroes and villains throughout the setting. not just that, but spells from D&D as well. While there's already a ton of spells that cross-over like counterspell, lightning bolt, Fireball, etc I'd love to see what Aganazzars scorcher does or what artifacts are going to be brought over.
Then there are the specific sites that are tied to certain Manas.
• Blue/Island is easily the Sea of Swords and Evermeet: Island of Elves.
• Black/Swamp could be the Mere of Dead Men, Marshes of Chelembyr
• Red/Mountains I see Mt. Hotenow, Galena Mts.
• Green/Forest Neverwinter Woods, Cloakwood, High Forest
• White/Plains this one's kind of rough because this is just open plains with sparse trees, so pick any location within the Western heartlands in your good
We should also get pretty awesome Dragon cards too, like Klauth.
I don't see this affecting D&D much, maybe only as a bridge between the two, a peek behind the veil of the respective games. At the most, it acknowledges what I've been saying since they published MTG settings as playable D&D areas, that these places exist, or can, be reached through Realmspace like Greyhawk or Eberron could. |

Well, this at least tells me that its not just taking all the artwork from the last 20 years and dumping it on cards, so that's at least a plus. Just wondering, on the MTG side, do they release copies of all their artwork in digital form for free (like they used to do for the d&d products where they would release a set of all the artwork from a given book)? I used to love being able to take those snippets and putting them into a character sheet. |

Oh, so they name the locations?
Plains... the Shaar locations.
Is there any chance there might be a "land" that has additional factors? EDIT: actually looking at the original link, they're doing something like that for whatever Zendikar is. They have "fetch lands" and lands that can do other things.
Mountains:
Star Mounts - some kind of bonus to Nature type magics & creatures
Mount Jiksidur/Hark's Finger (i.e. Larloch's fallen enclave)- a bonus to necromancy
Thaymount - a bonus to fire magics & creatures
Dustwall Mountains - a bonus to "desert" magics & creatures
Lhairghal the West Wall, Nathaghal the North Wall, Mauraghal Mountains the East Wall (Halruaa's 3 "wall" mountains)- maybe if you have all 3 of these in play some bonus happens to magic
Forest
Sharawood - as a defensive unit only you can spend mana on the fly to resummon "the Everlasting Wyrm"
Stuff like that, would we maybe see stuff like that? If so, then that's really cool, and yes I would be interested.

Well there are "basic land" which are your swamps, plains, islands, etc. and then there's Special land that do other things.

Yeah, Special lands exist in almost all sets, some do effects that are just active while some can be activated with other Mana. Something like this Crypt of Agadeem or Miragia Forest

Absolutely! I hope whomever they get has a great amount of locations in the realms and has a decent way to represent that in M:tG cards. I'm really looking forward to Equipment and artifacts. I'd love to give my heroes or legendary Characters Aegis-Fang or maybe Flame Tongue |

Evermeet would likely be a Legendary Land that likely could be tapped for Blue and Green mana, its a magical Island, but it has Forests and wild elves too.
The Plains of Purple Dust maybe White and Red Mana.
Skald City of the Gods black and white mana.
Undermountain Black and Red mana.
The Fane of Shadows Black and Blue Mana.
Soooooo many locations to choose from. Too many for all of them to be done.
Same with characters, Spells, Artifacts, and creatures, there are only 300-to 350 cards to work with, although hopefully there will be double sides cards like Zendikar is getting, like an Undermountain side and a Halaster side on one card.

They use some of the art as free digital wall papers that can be found on mtg's website. |

| Folks seem to think that the FR set will get planeswalker Decks as a tie in, I think it will get Commander Decks instead because covering all the important stuff in FR in one set of 270-300 cards will be hard,but add in 5 Commander Decks, with 100 different cards each hopefully add set in FR will help fix that, bringing the number of cards set in FR up to 770-800 cards, although only 270-300 of them will be standard legal. |

| Btw this means FR is almost certainly getting an MtG style trailer,that the FR set is going to be in Magic Arena and Magic Online their digital games, that it will get the 1 chapter per week novel and 1 short story per week tied to a Legendary character treatment that Zendikar is getting (and that Kaldheim and Strixhaven will also most likely get), it will get boosters, and collector boosers, and box toppers, VIP boosters, foils,alternate art, Planeswalkers or Commander Decks and possibly other stuff. |

| So, even though I've played MtG, its been so long ago I'm effectively out of touch. I have enjoyed looking at some of the stuff I've seen with these taking Magic settings and turning them into campaign settings (I loved Ixalan). While I'm not as big on the Ravnica stuff, I have also gotten a couple of the art of magic books on the cheap from amazon as used books to see what things were about. So then I just got this mythic odyssey of Theros work last month, and I'm still working through it, but I must say that I like it. What I'd like to know is how much of this was in the card game, and how much of this was made up for the supplement. I mean, were all these gods designed for the card game? I'm literally still working my way through that book, because I got sidelined with some odd want to make satyr 3d models for fun, so I did that for about a week in between things. I can definitely see where they're writing in things in this book that would frustrate realms "gotta have the exact facts" personaes, but still there's some decent lore in it. Was all this done for the card game? |

I'm literally still working my way through that book, because I got sidelined with some odd want to make satyr 3d models for fun, so I did that for about a week in between things. I can definitely see where they're writing in things in this book that would frustrate realms "gotta have the exact facts" personaes, but still there's some decent lore in it. Was all this done for the card game?
Yes, every single one of the Gods of Theros mentioned in the book is from the card game, and they each have at least 1 card, and the main ones have 2 or 3 cards.
The book Mythic Odysessy's of Theros fills in the blanks when needed or to adf alittle immersion here and there, but mostly its stuff pulled from the Theros card sets or the Theros novel (the Theros enovel you can buy dirt cheaply as an ebook on Amazon). |

| I don't know how the setting will be however...I'll think that this, alongside with BG3, is a good chance for FR to expand beyond the gamebooks, made if successful we'll get some new novels... |
