===Post-War Schedule=== Having wrapped up the biggest meta-plot in recent Magic history, WoTC decided to ease off the pedal a bit. There's currently no overarching metaplot, and the following sets are dedicated to returning characters and generally just playing tourist, like the old days. One plane per set until the metaplot kicks up again. Following Core Set 2020, Magic released Throne of [[Eldraine]], a fairy tale-inspired set that saw the return of [[Garruk Wildspeaker]]. It also introduced Oko, the shapeshifting Korean pop-star Planeswalker that [[butthurt|tore Standard, Pioneer, Historic and Modern a new one]] and is currently contained in Vintage and Legacy. After ''Throne'' is ''Theros: Beyond Death''. If you couldn't guess from the subtitle, it is heavily implied that [[Elspeth Tirel]] is coming back, and was confirmed through marketing material and card leaks. Following that is a new plane simply named Ikoria: The Lair of Behemoths. We don't know much about it, but Ikoria was hinted to have been inspired by Japanese kaiju films and features "the craziest mechanic ever seen in Magic" in the form of custom monster building. After Core Set 2021 (nicknamed the Teferi set, much like how 2020 was the [[Chandra]] set) is Zendikar Rising, mostly because the last time we went it was basically just a glorified advertisement for the [[Gatewatch]]. And now we have information on what will be coming in 2021: Five sets (names not final) ''Kaldheim'': The long-teased Viking set/plane. ''Strixhaven: School of Mages'': Set in a multiuniversally-famous [[Harry Potter|magic university, with five colleges vying for prominence.]] ''Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms'': Yes, you read that right. Yes, it IS Standard-legal and not a silver-boarder joke/what-if set. And, yes, WotC MAY be jumping the Shark Typhoon on this one. Turns out the Ravnica and Theros setting books were only a prelude to the inverse of Magic visiting Faerûn. How the hell they're going to get these two settings to mesh together is currently unknown. ''Innistrad: Werewolves'' & ''Innistrad: Vampires'': Return to Return to Innistrad using a similar framework to ''Guilds'' and ''Allegiances'' with each faction getting a set to itself. Like ''Zendikar Rising'', it'll all be our first real glimpse at a [[Ravenloft|post-Eldrazi Innistrad]].
