Editing Magic: The Gathering (section)

==The D&D Connection==
When [[Wizards of the Coast]] took the reigns of [[Dungeons & Dragons]] from [[TSR]] and brought out [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]], many held their breath in fear; as WotC had made their /tg/ chops by way of MtG, then surely it was only a matter of time before they started crossing the two games over somehow, right?

...Well, wrong, actually. 3.0 turned into 3.5, and there wasn't so much as a single glimpse of D&Dified Magic content. No [[plane]]s turned into [[campaign setting]]s, no monsters converted, no articles in [[Dragon Magazine]] on using the Color Wheel instead ofthe [[alignment]] grid. Nothing. Zip. Zilch. The doomsayers faded away over years of WotC showing no interest in crossing their properties; not even in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]], which arguably would have meshed best with the goal of a "MtG Role Playing Game", was any attempt made to cross them over.

And then came [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]], and all that changed. Noting that the separation of the two games was an unofficial habit and not official policy, free online articles called [[Plane Shift]] began to be released, which provided basic setting lore, new PC races, and some monster statblocks for then-new Magic [[Plane]]s, allowing DMs to run their own basic campaigns using those as settings. This came to a head in November 2018, with the release of the ''Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica'', a full-fledged campaign setting splatbook for [[Ravnica|the titular plane]]. And this seems to have opened the floodgates; a [[Theros]] campaign splat titled ''Mythic Odysseys of Theros'' was scheduled for release on June 2nd 2020, which only opens the door for even more such books to come.

There are also a few D&D references that have made their way to cardboard as well. Unstable gave us [https://scryfall.com/card/und/84/sword-of-dungeons-&-dragons| the Sword of Dungeons and Dragons] which was the first use of a d20 anywhere, even in Un-sets. There is also the [https://scryfall.com/card/m20/222/bag-of-holding| Bag of Holding] from M20. We're getting a whole new set of Forgotten Realms in mid-2021, too.
