Just like Modern Horizons II, the release of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms was also postponed for a week:

June 29: Previews begin

July 8: Available on MTG Arena and Magic Online

July 16–18: Webcam Prerelease play through Spelltable beta

July 16–22: Prerelease Week, including in-store play (where available)

July 23: Worldwide release

But our campaign on Forgotten Realms looks promising, and we can start with the basic lands, which will have flavor-texts to bring the storytelling-feeling of the classic RPG to the cards. There will be four different lands for each basic land type and they will represent iconic places from Dungeons & Dragons!

But it's not only on the lands that we will see iconic elements from the game but also on the spells, artifacts, and creatures:

And, of course, a set themed around D&D wouldn't be complete if it didn't have its most iconic creature:

And the Buy-a-Box promo was also revealed:

And the packages of the booster boxes and prerelease packs:

Adventures in the Forgotten Realms will also have Theme Boosters, one for each color and one not yet revealed. The set will feature four Commander decks, which names are:

Aura of Courage

Dungeons of Death

Draconic Rage

Planar Portal
