It's not every year that MtG hits it's 30th birthday and having no Dominaria setting book or slipcase of books is an insanely missed opportunity.
They should have had a slipcase with a Dominaria/New Phyrexia setting book set during the current arc (Dominaria United,Brothers War, Phyrexia all are one, March of the Machines, Aftermath), a Beastairy, and an Adventure covering the whole arc. It practically begged for it.
And if that's not bad enough but later next year they have Wilds of Eldraine and Lost Caverns of Ixalan, both as far as I can tell very D&D vibing sets and no setting books for them either.
I've heard rumours that the Venture into the Dungeon will reappear in one or both of those sets.
Yet Strixhaven whose setting wasn't ready yet as barely anything outside the school was explored got a D&D book.
Why? So much missed potential and during MtG's 30th anniversary year.
Instead two absolutely boring sounding, uninspired, adventure/adventure anthologies, a book based on the Deck of Many Things, and a retread on 5e Giants that was well covered by VGtM. WTF? They should have had a MtG setting book.
Hopefully at least the March of the Machines set & Aftermath set will connect the Blibd Eternities to the 5e Great Wheel.
