How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
If the rumours are true, then a Westworld and Innistrad III set are likely.
Or, if not that, then probably a brief return to Eldraine to touch back on the Kenrith twins and their patriarch as it relates to the "grand arc" the story is following now.
With that said, c'monnnnn Ulgrotha!

Roman world is unlikely, as there's not much room left between Theros and Ravnica for Rome to occupy.
They purposely left a lot of Roman tropes from Theros since they believe the aesthetic of "the empire", military, gladiators and real world history is enough for a separate plane.

What does Ravnica have to do with rome? Apart from the fact it has a legion and a senate, which have become pretty generic words, there's nothing roman about Ravnica.
Having that said, a rome world is probably a bit too close to Theros (considering how many myths and other cultural aspects overlap between the two, even the pantheon is a reskinned version of the greek one) to come out soon.

Geez. Didnt we do this, on this message board, two yeas ago, and a few years before that? To sum up at least 14 pages of comments across 3 threads, No. Ravinica was not a top-down plane intended to be Rome.
Even more recent than that, I'm afraid. Suffice it to say, ancient geopolitics isn't really the forte of your modern Magic player. I'm not even going to opine about cultural awareness...
Hopefully there's a Return to New Phyrexia soon. The MTG universe needs to find a new mega antagonist and I feel like that's the best spot for one to be uncovered // the biggest threat out there right now (other than maybe Emrakul coming back).
midwestmtgjudge asked:
Does the success of Theros as Greek World make a Roman-inspired world less likely? I’d love to see Roman gladiator-inspired cards. As well as Magic’s take on famous historical characters like the Caesars, Alexander the Great, Marcus Aurelius, et al. But I also understand that it would/could overlap with Theros, flavorfully.
We purposefully left out Roman references on Theros (save one card), so we’d later have the option.

I have my own qualms about MaRo's rush to appease a player who thinks that Alexander the Great was Roman.
It would be so amazing if Roman world worshipped the Theros gods due to knowledge of them brought from a Planeswalker, but they didn’t actually exist on Roman world. That or it’s a different continent on Theros. Just some way of hitting the “borrowed from Greece” trope
I didn’t think there was enough material to carry a whole set, but they felt there is. It definitely could hold up a battlebond or Fiora like set. Shame Kylem wasn’t repurposed to be Roman World to give it more identity
I don't think they're going back to Innistrad until after they have another visit to New Phyrexia. There's far too much buildup laid into recent-ish sets to keep putting that off.
Wasn't Norseworld a rumor for this year's guesses? Same with Westernworld.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.

Because cycling is guaranteed there and shard focused that means finishing the triome cycle (aka the worlds first non basics with three basic land types)
If we see WesternWorld I gots to have me a Clint Eastwood style planeswalker.

Licia, sanguine tribune doesn't think so.

Anyway imo it is Innistrad 3.0 , Wesrworld, Norse Theros.

Maybe a small chance at Viking World???
