WOTCĪlso, we know that the set's basic lands will be a tad different than in sets past as, this time around, the cards will feature flavor text - something that has never really been seen before on the card type.

They have also shown examples of the set's alternate showcase card frame and overall style, which is reminiscent of the artwork found in the RPG's Monster Manual. That stated, Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that there will be extended artwork cards. Well, in theory they'll look like contemporary Magic cards (albeit with Dungeons & Dragons appropriate artwork). At that time, four sets ( Throne of Eldraine, Theros Beyond Death, Ikoria: Laor of Benemoths, and Core Set 2021) will rotate out.Īs for AFR itself, it isn't scheduled to rotate out of Standard until September 2022, so players will have plenty of time to enjoy their D&D setting within the Standard format. That will remain true until September 2021 when Innistrad: Midnight Hunt releases. That means that all Standard legal sets from Throne of Eldraine on through Adventures in the Forgotten Realms will be format legal. What we do know, however, is that nothing will be rotating out of Standard once AFR comes out. Well, on the tournament scene, nobody really knows how AFR will affect the format. Stores will also received 20 introductory D&D adventures to introduce Magic players to the pen-and-paper RPG. The set also features revamped Welcome Boosters that are designed to introduce new players to Magic: The Gathering and are to be given away by local game stores to the first 20 customers who purchase Dungeons & Dragons products.

When that happens, it will be available in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (with one card being a marketing card), 35-card Theme Boosters (five monocolored and one Adventures in the Forgotten Realms-specific theme), Collector Boosters (15 cards plus one foil token), Set Boosters (12 cards plus one token and one card from Magic: The Gathering history), the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms Bundle (10 Draft Boosters, 20 foil basic lands, 20 non-foil basic lands, one foil promo card, one d20, and three oversized Dungeon cards), and four themed Commander decks (one display Commander card, two foil legendary cards, 98 additional cards, 10 tokens, and one "Life Wheel"). What is clear, however, is that the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms ( AFR) will be replacing it for this year at the very least. Whether that means that core sets are (yet again) done with is unclear. There will be no Magic: The Gathering core set in 2021. Here's what we know so far: It's taking the place of Core Set 2022 We're only a month away from the July 23 release of Magic: The Gathering's first-ever Dungeons & Dragons crossover set, Adventures in the Forgotten Realms.Īccording to Wizards of the Coast, the set, which will be Standard legal, "brings the storytelling and roleplaying elements of D&D to Magic through fan-favorite D&D spells and monsters and incredible booster fun treatments highlighting classic D&D flavor, including the rulebook treatment reminiscent of early Monster Manuals."
