After getting into the new DMG, one question stemmed (well several) from my original question about the dnd cosmology. In the book, setting like Ravnica, Theros, and Strixhaven are explicitly stated to be ‘based on a Magic: The Gathering world’. Does this mean that the books are not set in the actual Blind Eternities in the MTG universe? Does it mean that there is no connection between the settings? Does this make the events of later Acquisitions Incorporated episodes non-cannon?
You are asking for authoritative answers, and there aren't any. Books provide a snapshot of setting information, but cannot answer every question, and anything they don't is true only if a specific DM chooses to make it true. And anything they do say is still only true if the DM doesn't want to change it.
The only official story of D&D is what happens at your table.
