This is just wild conjecture, but following the current formula (new block, revisited block) does anyone think the block after Theros will be a return to an existing plane? The most obvious plane to return to would be Kamigawa, but given the lack of popularity of that block I unfortunately don't believe they will ever revisit it outside of a few cards here and there making reference to it. (Tamiyo, Sakashima's Student etc.)

i don't really think you can call this a formula, they just happened to do blocks revisiting 2 of the most wildly popular planes in two of the last 3 years. don't get me wrong, im interested in what has been going on with dominaria and zendikar since we last saw them, but i would be perfectly fine with going to anywhere from 2 to 4 new planes before doing another revisit, that way we can get things that are more properly new without having to make any kind of mechanical or flavor connection to what has already been done. there's also a limit to how much nostalgia people really want to see in a given span of time
I can't remember if Otaria was blown up at the end of Scourge but that could also be a place to revisit.
Another thing I considered was whether there would ever be a block expanding on some of the ideas from Planar Chaos re: alternate versions of planes and the inhabitants thereof (Blue Braids, White Crovax).

Zendikar, Kamigawa, Dominaria, Otaria. All great choices. I feel like we have enough planes now that we should just stick to revisits for a while.
Is not Otaria a continent on the plane of Dominaria?
Apart from that, I agree that I would very much like to see a block revisiting Dominaria, since that plane was the setting of some of the most epic storylines of this game. I also wish to see Ulgrotha revisited, simply for nostalgia value, and Kamigawa, since it would be nice to learn what has been occurring there since the end of the Kami War.

The end of what, now? I seem to recall there were some Magic books between Odyssey and The Moons of Mirrodin, but the details are hazy, as if there were repressed memories.
Yeah, Otaria is a region on Dominaria, it's not implausible that we'd go back there, et cetera et cetera.
I don't think a return to Kamigawa is very likely; MaRo has spent a lot of time on his blog talking about how much of a failure the block was, both commercially and critically. As for Zendikar, I would love to see a return in a few years.
As far as I can gather, Zendikar is pretty much screwed what with the eldrazi going around tearing up the place. Eventually they have to break free though, and I have a feeling that they'll end up on the same plane the New Phyrexians find a gateway to.
Lorwyn is a strong possibility, given the need for a strong tribal block every now and then. I would definitely love to see more cards with Retrace and Champion a (creature type)

Otaria was blown up during Time Spiral. And by the end of that trilogy Dominaria was too much of a ****show to ever be worth revisting. Actually, even by the start of it. For a nostalgia themed set, it did a great job of making it abundantly clear that the entire plane was a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and that there's not really anything left standing to revisit.

They could always do a retelling, but it would be better if a block like that would be released in 2022 or something.
Something like, how would WOTC design a brand new set, with brand new gameplay mechanics, but with the exact same story that they have done before.
I would love a Return to Kamigawa. Can you image a Kamigawa done right? It would be bliss, but I doubt Wizards will take the risk.
this wont ever happen, since nearly everybody hatet kamigawa, and no matter how good it could get now, people would hate it again, before even knowing whats in it.

simple make it a 2 set block ... if people hate it before it come out then they will not lose alot of money ( If they print some really powerfull cards it wouldn't happen)
For what it's worth, the opposite of evergreen is "deciduous" so I suggest we start using that from now on to refer to shroud, banding, islandhome, etc.
i don't understand why kamigawa it's considered a failure on the flavour side. i get the mechanics issues and why that didn't work, but if we are talking just flavour it seems amazing to me!
lorwyn/shadowmoor... what can i say, the block i've started playing with, i absolutely love it and i would anything to get some new kithkins...but as far as i know also that block is considered to be a failure (again i can't get it)

edit: no. we won't find out where the dwarven gate goes. yes, baron sengir will be a love interest of liliana.
or
Return to Dominaria
and maybe not a return but a visit to planes from planechase
But it won't be right after Theros.
