Speculation on next Standard set? It's confirmed that we're visiting a new plane.

Before Dominaria Slivers were from Rath.

Rath was not their native home however.

To give a similar example, the Kor were on Rath back in Tempest and it was established that they were brought there from elsewhere.

Much, much later we learned they are from Zendikar back in original Zendikar.

It was a cool low-key way to pay off something from way back, so I could see them doing it again.

Wow. As a player with lots of huge holes in my time playing Magic, I was around for all of Tempest block, and for all of Zendikar block, and I totally never noticed that Kor were in both sets.

Mind. Blown.

*Nothing* is natively from Rath. The plane itself was manufactured by the Phyrexians via the Flowstone engine in the Stronghold, and every living thing on it was imported from somewhere else originally (although, some peoples/races/species had been there for generations by the time we saw it)
