Who is excited to return to Ravnica later this year? For me, it's like revisiting an old friend as this was the set that really engaged me in paper. I'm hoping it drives some great new players into PQ.

How do you think guilds will translate?

  • Guilds of Ravnica releases October 5, 2018, and will prominently feature the harmonious Selesnya (green-white), the militant Boros (red-white), the life-and-death-focused Golgari (black-green), the frazzled geniuses of the Izzet (blue-red), and the mystery of the Dimir (blue-black).
  • Ravnica Allegiance ratchets up the drama and releases January 2019, and will complete our travels through the guilds. Join the orderly Azorius (white-blue), the chaotic Rakdos (black-red), the wild Gruul (red-green), the experimental Simic (green-blue), and the devious Orzhov (white-black) as we reach the penultimate moment of the Gatewatch's story.

    Apparently I am of the Simic Guild. I think that ravnica will provide for a huge amount of flexibility in deck designs, making future encounters even more difficult to plan for.

    Dimir.  Figured it would be that or Azorius.

    I'm pretty hyped.  I love the stories out of there, even if I haven't really played the sets.

    And speaking of the story, a 3 block Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny is gonna be epic

    Interesting quiz.  I like that it gave a little insight into the guilds and personalities.

    Simic, huh?  I guess after reading the descriptions that's probably as close as one can get.

    I started playing around the Urza's Saga block, so Ravnica is a little bit too recent for me to be nostalgic.  I have always appreciated the Coruscant-style theme of the world tho.

    I'm hardcore Dimir.  One of my favorite mtg Commander deck's (took a little over a thousand dollars to fully construct) strategy is to duplicate my opponents deck, learn their strategy, and beat them with their own deck.  You're the underdog for most of the game as it intentionally sets you up at a disadvantage, but I still have almost 100% win ratio.  Quite a brain exercise! :)

    Orzhov....always have been, and always will be.  Extort was an amazing mechanic and with sanguine bond, it just got even better.

    I really wish i had that support now.

    I'm orzhov. Probably with a side of golgari. Orzhov just does all of the things that I like doing . I'm quite happy to be returning to ravnica, I just wish it wasn't going to be jacestice league vs bolas, ravnica edition, but it sounds like something cool is going to happen for the third set . I'm always happy in multicolor themed sets. I want to play all the colors

    How existential.  Are you certain you truly exist?   :open_mouth:

    I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with Ravnica. It’s a fun plane, and I like that it sets up for people to easily play their favorite two-color decks.

    I hate what it’s done to the design of two-color cards. Even off Ravnica they all reek of guild mechanics. I feel like it really stifled creativity, and has made them ignore cards that have been absent from the game since forever. Things like a legendary red-blue artificer, there’s never been one before the Dominaria Jhoira despite both colors caring a lot about artifacts.

    Also to come back to the topic, if you couldn’t tell from my little rant, I’m an Izzet player ;)

    I'm Boros, with a side of Izzet, IRL, but did anyone else notice how changing your color choices in the next to last screen changed the result most of the time?

    You might as well choose your Guild and your secret ally to

    Are you in the centre of the 5 guilds?
