Adventures in the Forgotten Realms is the 31st expansion set of Magic: The Gathering - Puzzle Quest, released in August 2021 in version 5.1 of the game. The set abbreviation is AFR, and the set icon (AFR) resembles a dragon. The characters, mechanics, and settings of this card set are based on the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game.

You've Found An Entrance is a Standard PvE event, released at the same time, featuring elements of the set.

Dungeon Master, Ellywick Tumblestrum and Grand Master of Flowers are Planeswalkers that were released at the same time as the set.

Alignment and Passive Abilities

When AFR was released, the Alignment and Passive Ability systems were introduced. Alignment gives selected Planeswalkers "passive" abilities that are triggered when casting a mono colored card of the Planeswalker's color. Chandra, Ignited was given a Passive Ability retroactively, as were the remaining four PMA walkers as they came out and some mono PWs from subsequent sets. The Alignment name was only used on the two AFR mono PWs, and the three remaining colors of PW in the Midnight Hunt set: Lolth, Spider Queen, Mordenkainen, and Zariel, Archduke of Avernus. No cards have the Alignment ability. Alignment itself was introduced as a way of making mono colored Planeswalkers more attractive, but Dungeon Master from AFR, Arlinn, the Pack's Hope and Ob Nixilis, the Adversary have been given Passive Abilities too, which trigger automatically; in ONtA's case, it is an enhancement of all three of his Loyalty abilities. The Alignment symbol was used for the Passive Abilities of all the the AFR and MID mono walkers, and Dungeon Master; each PW since has received a unique symbol for their Passive Abilities.

Cards

The Adventures in the Forgotten Realms card set consists of 200 cards across all five rarities, plus full art variants of 15 of those cards.
