About This Crossover

The first time this crossover was even thought about was way back in 2016 as a couple of experiments were done by the Wizards of the Coast in an effort to bring the magic setting to D&D. This experiment was decided on following the Magic set Battle for Zendikar. 

This was released as an online document first of all. And the document was a PDF format known as Plane Shift: Zendikar that had a whole host of smattering character options to choose from. 

This is set to introduce the Dungeons and Dragons in the world of Zendikar. That, however, was just an experiment to see how exactly the idea of having magic in D&D would ever go.

This went on to offer a different set of other formats before it got to this stage. One that was the ultimate success was Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica. 

That success went to inspire a few more ideas of magic being thrown into the Dungeons and Dragons settings. You then had Mythic of Theros who had all the elements of the perfect supplement. 

But ultimately, this crossover was bound to happen and fans were happy when it was finally announced.

Game Set-Up

Since 2020 has offered a new concept with the idea of social distancing, the developers of games are taking that into consideration. You can only play the tabletop version if you are sure to adhere to the health directives.
