Adventures of the Forgotten Realms is a Magic set that is a love letter to the popular RPG game Dungeons and Dragons. Players can expect plenty of familiar themes and tropes from D&D to appear in Magic’s newest standard set. Already Wizard’s has showcased a few cards like Portable Hole and Power Word Kill that highlight just how tightly entwined this set is to the core of D&D. With innkeepers and dragon gods revealed as well, it looks like players will certainly get that adventuring feel.
The latest set comes off the heels of Strixhaven – a set that didn’t change much for standard. The overall power of Strixhaven seemed to be toned down. Adventures of the Forgotten Realms could be a chance to bring the power back up a bit in hopes to have more playable cards against format staples. Though given recent history, it looks like Wizard’s may want to have cards be a little weaker.
Make sure to pick up the Dungeons and Dragons Magic set when it releases July 23.
