This makes Corellon Larethian, the patron god of the elves, the most likely to show up in this set. But more than any other tribal, elves seem extra important to them.

And there are several of the gods of Faerun aka the Forgotten Realms that fill this bill well. One of the things that is highly important to MTG is their tribal decks. Just how many of them we get is all up to Wotc. There is SO much flavor to cards representing, say, a Black Dragon or a Gold Dragon. On top of all that, we really think we should get many of both the Chromatic and Metallic Dragons in some form. What Dragons will we get in the Forgotten Realms set? As Tiamet is all colors aka WUBRG, we believe Bahamut should be colorless. He was brother to Tiamet and god of wisdom, enlightened justice and all good, metallic dragons. We figure the first sure thing would be to bring in Tiamet’s nemesis, Bahamut.

These are, of course, debatable (drop YOUR opinions in the comments or on our social media) and are only our best speculation. So, after much deliberation, these are the top ten OTHER gods that we would like to see showing up in the next Magic set. And the crew here in The Magic Tavern who have adventured in the Forgotten Realms back in 3rd Edition and beyond have begun to do what we do best: Speculate. But which ones? There are SO many to choose from. With the revealing of the card, Tiamet, Dragon God, it seems like the gods of Forgotten Realms may just be what standard needs. AND, with renewal season just a few months past that, we have to wonder if Adventures in the Forgotten Reams will fill in the void we will feel when Theros’s indestructible gods leave standard. The biggest of which is the card announced for the mighty Dragon God, Tiamet. Well, Magic the Gathering’s big cross over with D&D is just a little over two months away and we already have a few spoilers.
