In the Magic: The Gathering universe, which plane does the Homelands expansion take place in?

Answer

Ulgrotha

The story behind the answer

Ulgrotha is correct because the Homelands expansion is set on this isolated plane—literally nicknamed “the Homelands.” Its story centers on the vampire Baron Sengir, the forest guardian Autumn Willow, and the aftermath of a devastating planeswalker war. The planeswalker Feroz (with Serra) established “Feroz’s Ban” to keep other planeswalkers out, reinforcing Ulgrotha’s closed-off, feudal feel. Many card names (An-Havva, Aysen, Koskun) reflect its distinct regions.

To remember: Homelands = Ulgrotha’s “home-bound” world under a protective ban. The other options are different locales entirely—Tazeem is a region of Zendikar, Bant is a shard of Alara, and Llanowar is a forest on Dominaria—so they don’t match the Homelands setting.
