they will probable return, if i remember right they are supose to be the biggest guild in numbers, they outcast guild, but i suspect they will have a new style and face, curious about the new Guild Leader, since Vraska probable will never step on Ravnica again
I talked a bit about this in the comments of aether’s last video. They’re already pretty marginalized in ravnican society and I gotta imagine more than half of their pop getting converted by vraska didn’t help. If I had to guess we’re gonna see Izoni coming into her own, trying to make big power plays to restore some amount of their influence
Something interesting about Rakdos is that WoTC’s creative team seems to have soft-retconned the guild away from a demon cult, into a monster clown circus that coincidentally happens to be led by a demon.
Yeah that’s sort of expressed in the video. As Rakdos slept, the guild continued to evolve. Taking their desire to entertain their demon, to the mainstream!
I am a proud member of the Gruul Clan. I think we could all benefit from some chaos to start things anew in hope for a better world! (lots of if's but thats the fun of it) Thanks for the video!!
You mean you are a member of the Gruul Clans, which are comprised of 7 main clans. They are the Burning Tree(Borborygmos is boss again), Scab(Led by Narbulg the giant), Ghor(Boss is Ruric Thar), Bolrac Cln (leadership can change daily), Slizt (Mostly Viashino and humans, the sneakies), Zhur-Tar (Nikya the centaur is incharge.), or the Gravelhide (New, lead by a goblin). Or are you one of the smaller/newer ones?
I’ve always loved the Dimir. My personal theory is that Lazav is actually a group of shape shifters pretending to be one person. That way they can better spread the idea that he could be anywhere and, if he’s ever actually killed, appear to be able to cheat death as well.
@@tomr6818 And think about the guild council. All the other guild leaders have to work towards their own goal while navigating the other leader’s machinations. Doesn’t having one mastermind make the Dimir seem more manageable? Enough to maybe be underestimated.
I love Selesnya because I love harmony and community, and their aesthetic blending of nature and the divine is a wonderful thing I've yet to see anywhere else.
I wish the older lore was more readily available to the modern Magic player because you get so many good examples of what made these characters more than their status in their respective guilds. Take Jarad as an example, yes he died at the hands of the cult of Rakdos, but what most people don't know is that he made that sacrifice because they abducted his child and he did end up saving him in the end. That moment definitely made me like Jarad, and tried as I might, I could not find where his leadership of the Golgari was disposed of or how it was done. As much as I love Vraska, I feel like they did Jarad a little dirty.
@@refundreplay I feel like the should have made it clear the OG Ravnica block, OG Kamigawa, and some of the other planes that change a bunch on a revist, actually took place at a far earlier time on the first visit. Instead of taking place right after it, where it makes no sense for Neon Dynasty to have all occured in less than 20 years. Like if the first Ravnica/Kamigawa visit was chronologically set a couple hundred years before the Future Sight rifts got closed, I feel that lets you make a lot of guild leadership changes, without making old favouries get brushed aside. If all the mortal characters had to be replaced, that would have let us get the descendeents.relatives of people like Argus Kos and JArad, while also bringing in Vraska and some new people, and keepking some of the immortals around like Rakdos.
@@kyleellis1825I mean argus and jarad both potentially could come back.. argus is a spirit now still doing his job and jarad is Golgari so death really doesn't mean anything
You never fail to come up with the best lore. In fact, you are why I got into the lore to begin with. I started wanting to learn a little about the characters in my decks. Love the channel. Seriously fun and detailed stuff!!!
My favorite guild is Simic. My two favorite things in magic are mana ramp and card advantage, the two things green and blue like to do most. My first ever commander deck was a budget Simic deck built around Vorel of the Hull Clade, the Simic champion maze runner that represented the guild. I built that deck ten years ago and I'm still not bored of it.
My first and only Commander so far is Vannifar, so I too have a soft spot for them. And I am also happy Vannifar seems to live through the Murder of Karlov Manor. All hail Prime Speaker Vannifar, long may she reign.
Ravnica: *Bickers and argues about their differences.* Bolos: *Shows up.* Ravnica: Fuck THAT! *Nukes Bolos into oblivion with their combined synergies. Proceeds to bicker a lot less after.*
Always nice to have a video to direct my D&D players to when I'm starting a campaign in Ravnica. Everytime I publish content in my blog about this setting, I do it alphabetically, though... just out of curiosity, how did you decide the order you used?
When I was younger, I would have counted myself among the hidden members of House Dimir. Nowadays, I would be Azorious. It's funny how your motives and intentions may change as you get older.
Long live Rakdos. My very first commander deck was literally a Red and Black deck headed by a Rakdos full of twisted and circus like Rakdosian beasts and spells.
@@AetherHub yeah, what I enjoy about it is that I built it with a indirect damage through counters sub theme thanks to the Unleash Mechanic and so by turn 4 I typically have a 6/6, 7/8 flying trample, and a 9/9 flying, first strike
I have had a sost spot for Orzhov since Guilds of Ravnica. Now, I like Boros a lot too. It should come as no surprise that Mardu is exactly in my alley. RWB ftw!
I’ll always stand with the Boros Legion, when I first started magic I played a Azurious deck and I though that was what i would play from now on, but I don’t like control that much, and the Aggro of Boros was just too much fun! Combat Damage is my favorite way to end a game now
Considering the Golgari were in charge of the planes food supplies I'm shocked they didn't go the route of slowly adding undetectable amounts of oil to the food supply
My first deck ever was Undead focused before i moved to Elves way back in the day. My current love is my Muldrotha edh deck. So my favorite guildS are both Dimir and Golgari.
Of all the guilds to just disappear long term, Golgari is the last one I’d expect. Their agricultural infrastructure role is critical to the survival of the public, and they live in some of the only territory nobody else wants. Even with most of them Compleated and a population bottleneck in the undercity, they’ll be back in some form. Similarly, “House Dimir does not exist” has almost always been the official word about. It can be rebuilt from first principles, even if it would take centuries to restore its former power, creatures like vampires have the time. I’m interested to see how the new Karlov Manor set engages with Ravnica without using the guilds as a primary lens, and whether you can write a Ravnica murder mystery without House Dimir being at least peripherally involved. They’re the plane’s traditional investigators, and that role has been usurped by a new organization with seemingly much cleaner public image.
I'm relatively sure that they wouldn't just permanently get rid off an entire guild. Ravnica and the concept of the guilds are just too popular among fans to change the status quo too much. And then again, if there's a guild that is good at coming back from death, it would be the Golgari.
based on the preview and precons Mirko Vosk is around, so maybe he is the new Guild Leader or will be the character that confirmt he Dimir are still around
Hey I think it’s hilarious that it’s become a meme on the channel now lol. The thought of someone just clipping all my worst pronunciations sounds pretty funny
Guilds of ravnica should be its own game, my first deck was dragon maze rakdos bloodwitch at 17 years old when I was new to mtg I’m still new to mtg and a casual player and always have been I love the story and concept of guild of ravnica 👍🏽💯
With how the guilds are set up, I'm not sure I'd fit in perfectly with them. I think I might fit in best with the new guild magic investigators, being their Lois Lane (a combo of Lois's from _Superman: TAS_ & _My Adventures with Superman_ ). And as a major lorebuff, I love hearing the lore of the guilds. But I am curious, did I miss the last bit of the latest Ixalan set?
Could just be guildless, since a large population of Ravnica is just basic citizens with retail jobs or something the guilds don't cover. I think it was 30% who are guildless.
The Simic Combine are my life. The need to grow and adapt are built into every plant and animal, it’s only natural that we should take advantage of that process so we can adapt to a quickly-changing world.
Golgari is my favorite guild because of necromancy and its resources on survival and consume anything that is find useful to rebirth life in so many ways to survive from dying
Hard to choose. When I was first introduced to Ravnica my favourite guilds were Boros Legion and Simic Combine. As when it came to face value on cards, certain guilds seemed bad or evil. The Simic was my choice due to having a love for mutations and slime. The idea of changing one’s biology seems appealing to me. However I question the ethics of the guild wondering if their experiments mean unwilling participants.
Lore wise, boros is just so badass, an fleet of angels leading an army piloting an airship the size of a small town. Hard to beat. Play wise, i run a selesnya commander thats my baby. And emmara has been running it for a long while.
The Golgari are like a nest of Cockroaches. They will return. Hell, the glistening oil probably has left the dead bodies inert, which will make it more easy for them to reanimate themselves. Nah, they thrive in death.
@@AetherHub I hope they go back to that cool Dark Elf Witch doctor aesthetic they had in the first set. It just fits so well. I hope they dont end up looking like Witherbloom though...
My favorite Guild gameplay wise is Golgari, as Green/Black is my favorite color combination (Worm Harvest being my favorite spell) but lorewise, I think I've got to go with the Gruul as I'm an anarchist, and they best represent my values of rejecting authority and bureaucracy. Sadly they don't perfectly represent my ideals, as they're a whole lot more "smashy smash" than "Live and Let Live, and stay out of each other's ways" which is my preferred form of anarchy
Great video! Crazy what can happen during three blocks. And even between! Just a clarification: Borborygmos is pronounced Bor-Borig-Mos. Don't get it wrong or your needle might fail. And Jarad is pronounced Jah-Rad, not Girard.
It feels to me that the city has to be in massive disarray after the fall of some of the guilds. How does the city feed itself now without the Golgari? Who provides the surely needed medical services after the Simic fell? Who is rebuilding the city with the Izzet's position being so degraded? Also the Karlov Manor story hints that there are four of the guilds currently defunct, not just Dimir and Golgari. Also maybe it's just because I'm a player of the game... but House Dimir feels to me like the worst kept secret in the multiverse. Anyway.... definitely an Orzhov here. I love the false piety, I love any faction that tries to trap you into bad deals. In fact my favorite of all my commander decks is my Queen Marchesa "your participation in my political deals is not optional" deck. I'll happily give you benefits if you choose to play along willingly... and if not, I'll simply take what I want from you and maybe give you something back for it later.
28:26 maybe the elemental will attach itself to the multiverse world tree 🌳and spray for all the planes and or the tree. P.s. who name an elemental Matt.
Signing the guild pack may have been a big mistake in the long run as almost none of the values and purpose were passed down and instead gave way to power plays kept stagnant and under ever mounting pressure until it had the opportunity to burst.
The Simic Combine appeals the most to me as a student of biochemistry. What they do is completely unethical, by the standards of our world, but I'd be lying if Î didn't say it is interesting.
My 3 favorite guilds got screwed in different ways. Simic lost the people's trust Dimir went AWOL Golgari went to the dark side and seems to be the deadest now
Golgari will come back , it's their thing. As far as Dimir is concerned, they ain't dead till I see the bodies. Simic, they overstepped , I doubt they stay down but they will probably come back a good since of moderation.
@@cooltiger2439 As long as things die, Golgari will grow. Dimir might very well take this event as an opportunity to go incognito. Simic... Zegana and Vannifar are attending the Karlov Manor event, I wonder how that will turn out.
I always thought that the Ohrzov started as a religion of Ancestor Worship, perhaps with an absent creator deity who has since abandoned the Plane, & then EASILY parlayed that into it's current form once greater wealth could be achieved. I can see the living members telling others on the Plane; "Well, clearly my ancestors were brighter, more blessed than yours because they've been more successful in life. I could ask them for their council & intercession... for a fee." The advice and aid would lead parishioners deeper into debt & thus they'd need to seek out more help, much like the predatory practices if IRL payday loan establishments.
I follow wherever my dragon leads. Can't say I have any loyalty to any one guild cuz I connect more to individual people. Niv-Mizzet and Rakdos have always been my favorites
The whole world is a stage, and nobody likes the boring characters. The Cult of Rakdos shall always take the biggest spotlight. Aurelia may threaten us with a war, but we sure welcome it. After all, us Rakkies are the masters of laughter. Oops, forgot the S in the front again
As a survivor of the phyrexian invasion(gods damn it Vraska) whay our foods made of is a danger to you And a burden to others Also simic put down the phyrexian oil youve caused enough problems
I favor golgari, as i have high respect for the inevitably that is the life death cycle both are beautiful and should be respected not feared apperantly some people do idk why
**Rakdos.** It represents true humanity. Laws , morals, and hierarchy mean nothing in the face of power and desire. That’s what truly drives a civilization.
I like how House Dimir caught wind of Bolas and was like "even i know this guy has to go"
They are above all about self preservation
Definitely a huge Golgari fan. I hope that they return and can be more heroic in the future because they are a vital cog in Ravnican society.
they will probable return, if i remember right they are supose to be the biggest guild in numbers, they outcast guild, but i suspect they will have a new style and face, curious about the new Guild Leader, since Vraska probable will never step on Ravnica again
Golgari's whole theme is death is not the end, so it makes since that they'd be back.
Make Golgari Guild great again!

In fact my favorite of all my commander decks is my Queen Marchesa "your participation in my political deals is not optional" deck. I'll happily give you benefits if you choose to play along willingly... and if not, I'll simply take what I want from you and maybe give you something back for it later.
I want the next RAvnica visit, to take us back to before the guild pact was signed, showing the 10 guilds teaming up to beat the nephilim
I think Dimir is my favorite. Rakdos being a close second.
I always liked the Simic and Gruul. I just like those two guilds.
28:26 maybe the elemental will attach itself to the multiverse world tree 🌳and spray for all the planes and or the tree.
P.s. who name an elemental Matt.
Signing the guild pack may have been a big mistake in the long run as almost none of the values and purpose were passed down and instead gave way to power plays kept stagnant and under ever mounting pressure until it had the opportunity to burst.
I assumed the Nephillim corrupted the pact and those enforicing it, as w ayto break the pact and resume the chaos
I can nether confirm or deny that House Dimir ever has existed or disappeared.
The Simic Combine appeals the most to me as a student of biochemistry. What they do is completely unethical, by the standards of our world, but I'd be lying if Î didn't say it is interesting.
My 3 favorite guilds got screwed in different ways.
Simic lost the people's trust
Dimir went AWOL
Golgari went to the dark side and seems to be the deadest now
Golgari will come back , it's their thing.
As far as Dimir is concerned, they ain't dead till I see the bodies.
Simic, they overstepped , I doubt they stay down but they will probably come back a good since of moderation.
@@cooltiger2439 As long as things die, Golgari will grow.
Dimir might very well take this event as an opportunity to go incognito.
Simic... Zegana and Vannifar are attending the Karlov Manor event, I wonder how that will turn out.
Wizards needs too bring back the guild crest tees
@20:29 His name is pronounced "Bor-bor-ig-miss" its the medical/scientific term for stomach growls
Never knew that trivia. Thanks!
I'm an Izzet Mage, all the way.
Although, I have a soft spot for the guildless. Everyone always forgets about the guildless.
@@JonathonSwinney2814 useful pawns or a irritating thorn to the guilds. Some wish to forget
I'm still disappointed that the Guildless, teased heavily in Dragon's Maze, seems like a dropped thread
the way you pronounce Borborygmos pains me
It’s always been the HARDEST name of all the fantasy genre for me to pronounce.
😂 it's too much
Bor-borig-mos
12:00 Still better than the current House.
I always thought that the Ohrzov started as a religion of Ancestor Worship, perhaps with an absent creator deity who has since abandoned the Plane, & then EASILY parlayed that into it's current form once greater wealth could be achieved. I can see the living members telling others on the Plane; "Well, clearly my ancestors were brighter, more blessed than yours because they've been more successful in life. I could ask them for their council & intercession... for a fee." The advice and aid would lead parishioners deeper into debt & thus they'd need to seek out more help, much like the predatory practices if IRL payday loan establishments.
Orzhov will reign supreme!
Fellow Orzhov!
If dimir will allow them to remember
They’re currently top dogs!!!
The dimir are still skulking about 👀
My Orzhova brothers
Izzet is the superior Guild.
I wish the set for ravnica remastered was for magic arena
The pronouncement of Borborygmos..
Is soooo spot on. I know. I know. How do I do it? 😂
Boros Legiooonnnn! What is your profession?!?!
Ahhh. I’m a Simic player. Boros is a lot of fun though!!!
Me like smack. Me no like stack. Gruul goodest guild
BAWR-BUH-RIG-MUS
I follow wherever my dragon leads. Can't say I have any loyalty to any one guild cuz I connect more to individual people. Niv-Mizzet and Rakdos have always been my favorites
Hazada miltia have always been very effective, how do you feel about these new private investigation mystery solvers?
@@rennac3152 Peh. Meh
Guilds listed from worst to best
1. Azorius
2. Simic
3. Selesnya
4. Boros
5. Orzhov
6. Gruul
7. Izzet
8. Golgari
9. Rakdos
10. Dimir
Ahh my guild, Simic, in a respectful 2nd place
@@AetherHub Sorry friend, we can’t all be Dimir 😝
Dimir will rise once again.
Oh wow
Hope you enjoy ;)
Niv Mizzet before he was reborn made Bolas bleed
Boros for life ✊🏼✊🏼
Legion Loyalist looks like grampa that survived world war.
The whole world is a stage, and nobody likes the boring characters. The Cult of Rakdos shall always take the biggest spotlight.
Aurelia may threaten us with a war, but we sure welcome it. After all, us Rakkies are the masters of laughter. Oops, forgot the S in the front again
I'm Izzet or Rakdos😂 chaotic vibes 😂
The only one I like is the golgari, but I kind of like the izzet and the gruul
As a survivor of the phyrexian invasion(gods damn it Vraska) whay our foods made of is a danger to you
And a burden to others
Also simic put down the phyrexian oil youve caused enough problems
I favor golgari, as i have high respect for the inevitably that is the life death cycle both are beautiful and should be respected not feared apperantly some people do idk why
**Rakdos.** It represents true humanity. Laws , morals, and hierarchy mean nothing in the face of power and desire. That’s what truly drives a civilization.
😂Boar-boary-GOmos🤣 My brother in Niv, you're adding an 'O' to a name that has been said aloud correctly countless times
This video was so great but man the Borborygmos pronunciation was very jarring lol
Sorry 😞
