I think we will start to see UA for things that will line up with the next MtG setting. We got Ravnica around the time of the Guilds of Ravnica/Ravnica Allegiance, then they announced the Theros book around the release of Theros: Beyond Death block. So it won't be Ikora, Zendikar or the expansion after that, but the next one there after I think.
You may have been joking, but it kind of lines up. In 18 months I really believe that you will see another MtG book that will match up with the MtG block.

Yeah, in 18 months. Us getting another M:tG setting right after Theros was the joke.

I think the next M:tG setting will be Innistrad, based on a tweet from Chris Perkins last year. He said that if you liked Curse of Strahd, you'd like a book they were working on for 2020. That makes me think of either Innistrad or Planescape, because Barovia is technically in the shadowfell. If they are working on Innistrad, I'd expect a fleshmancer artificer subclass to come out fairly soon.

I'm hoping for Innistrad. Stichers, the Doctor Frankenstein-esque zombie artificers, would be a cool branching out for the Artificer class. (We need more artificer subclasses.) I think that they will do planescape, and probably before Innistrad, but I doubt that it is related to the Perkins tweet. Yes, Barovia is in the Shadowfell, but wasn't planescape more about the outer planes and Sigil? Also, if they gave us Innistrad, we might get official Eldrazi stat blocks. That would be great.

I would like stitchers/fleshmancers for an artificer. Would be cool. I don't think we'll get another M:tG setting in 2020, but maybe by the end of 2021. (We do need more Artificer subclasses. This is also why I want the Archivist back.)
Planescape is normally more about the outer planes and sigil, but the inner planes still are a large part of it. I don't think perkins was referencing planescape in that tweet, I'm still not sure what he was talking about, but I would like planescape before Innistrad as well, and I do think Planescape will come by the end of the year.
Eldrazi could be cool to bring to 5e, but I don't know how many players would understand what they are.

Thanks for clarifying. Eldrazi would be difficult to bring to 5e, but they could end up similar to the Daelkyr from Ebberon, as evil abberation overlords. Just weirder and more powerful.

Definition of Aberration Overlords from any campaign setting: (My own definition)
"Any weirds otherworldly creature with multiple eyeballs, tentacles, arms, or other 'gross' parts of nature that has significant power."
Eldrazi, Daelkyr, Elder Evils, and other aberrations from any D&D settings are very similar in theme.

If Theros has actual stat blocks and such for the Theros gods, giving stats and abilities to the Eldrazi titans' avatars should be easier. These are all creatures you fight in MTG, so I wouldn't be against it.
I doubt Theros will have god stats. There will be mythic creatures, but I think they'll be more champions of the gods and Nyx creatures. Eldrazi are probably around CR 30, or at least the very powerful ones. They could easily stat out some of the lower powered Eldrazi, and possibly some higher powered ones if they were to do an Innistrad book. If they do Innistrad or Zendikar, they'll have to do Eldrazi stats because they're major villains.
5e isn't big on statting out gods. We only have Tiamat, and she's in 2 adventures. Gods normally aren't antagonists in adventures, and you normally don't get to fight or slay them, so WotC normally doesn't stat them out.

Emrakul might not get stats because she's the most powerful Eldrazi, but the others might.
Yeah.
Well, anyway, this is kind of off topic. They never playtest monsters in UA.

Sorry. Different subject, I was thinking about planetouched races in 5e. So far we have Aasimar (Upper Planes, Mt. Celestia mostly?), Tieflings (Nine Hells), Genasi (Elemental Planes), Shadar-kai and Eladrin (Shadowfell and Feywild, respectively), Gith (Limbo and Astral Plane) and some others I might have missed. The main planes that I think still need races are
Abyss
Gehenna (Playable yugoloth?)
Mechanus (Sorta has warforged, but not really)
Far Realm (I am obsessed with all things weird and eldritchy. )
Any others?

So, what I would like if the Xanathar's 2.0/Planescape book were to contain new races and planetouched ones, there would be "template races/subraces" to do so. So, like the Dragonmarks from E:RftLW. So, for example, a Far Realm planetouched.
+2 to Intelligence, +1 to Wisdom. You gain resistance to psychic damage, one indefinite madness, and you can speak Deep Speech. This would replace your Ability Score increase from your original race, replace one key racial ability, and give you these benefits. Any race(ish) could take them, and become an Abyss-Planetouched Half-Elf, or Limbo-Planetouched Orc.
So, the Abyss and Gehanna could also be solved by a "cambion" race.
Mechanus could give us Rogue Modrons!
What do you think?

That sounds cool. They could also do the templates as a feat, like abberant dragonmark, if you want to represent the growing influence of a certain plane on your character. I would actually like to have both, becuase who doesn't like more content.

I could see them as a feat, but that would be kind of strange. I would personally do it as a racial feat for the planetouched template races, but I don't know how WotC would do it if they were to do this.

The template does make more sense. The feat idea seemed less likely. If wizard's did do the template idea, it would probably end up only being for the phb races. I doubt a Bytopia-touched yuan-ti will ever exist. (But it would be funny if it did). The reason why I think this is that the phb races are fairly basic, mostly asis and a couple simple features. For other races, the additional racial features are most of the draw of the race, and what makes it balanced, so I don't think they would make templates for those.
