They've been talking about this some at Candlekeep. They seem to have it figured out how it all can work, but it seems super strange to me.

Well they have done quite a bit from the other direction. There are two 5th edition books out already; Mythic Odysseys of Theros and Guildmaster's guide to Ravnica. They take the magic the gathering settings and translate everything into a  settings. One day they hopefully will do an Innistrad book as well. Actually one of the players made "cards" of a few of the other in-game players. Prescient lol The page with "cards" of Players |

As far as the "let's monetize this" models go (something I'm certain Hasbro is prodding Wizards of the Coast to do) this is at least trying to be story driven. Emphasis on trying. I can see some MtG players grabbing up the D&D books just for lore reasons, however I don't really see it working too much in reverse. Especially for those of us who know the money trap that MtG can be. I really don't want to spend money gambling on a FR pack of cards hoping to complete my "Seven Sisters" set.  Though I will admit I'm interested in seeing what artwork they have on the cards. It will be 5e Forgotten Realms stuff, granted, but do color me curious. |

This is why you avoid the trap, and buy the singles you want. As someone who has played the game for it's entire existence (started with Revised) I learned of that trap not too long ago, and it's saved me money in the long run. |

Some times they do art books for the card sets. Maybe it will be the same with the future set. As for the reverse, D&D players buying the sourcebooks, yes it does happen. More so with the Ravnica book. It had the various guilds and their interactions listed so was useful in that regards. Do keep in mind though I sell Wizards of the Coast items and other things for a living and am well *cough* versed in monetizing Magic the Gathering lol
