So I have a question for those of you who were around for the original Ravnica block. I wasn't around in mtg then, and I'm curious about how the guilds coming in GateCrash run. What were they like, and what do you expect from them in this set?
I mean, I can kind of guess what Boros was like with w/r burn and agro, but I have no clue what Simic could have been about.
Orzhov had the most confusing, poorest keyword. They'll presumably get keywords slightly more beneficial to them. Boros and "Radiance" was kinda dumb, and helped your opponent out.
Dimir is the best.

All I want is a {Glimpse the Unthinkable} reprint, my playset is dying to see Standard play!
UB Dimir is about secrecy and is very good at milling people. Boros is alot like Azorius but with red instead of blue. More about the army and stuff though.

Boros: Randiance, Double-strike, First-strike, Vigilance, Haste
Dimir: Transmute, Counter, -X/-X, Milling
Gruul: Trample, Bloodthirst, Boring
Orzhov: Lifegain, Resurrect, Life Loss, Haunt
Simic; Graft, Shroud, Flying, +1/+1 counters, draw
Exactly the kind of breakdown I was looking for, many thanks! Sounds like GateCrash is going to be another fun one. I'm already in love with this block. No wonder the original was so highly praised.
What are all the guilds?

Let me rephrase, all the guilds in Gatecrash
Orzhov had great creature control, as far as pacifism and arrest style effects, and pinging your opponent slowly to death while gaining life.
Boros had a "do x effects to all creatures of a certain color" theme.

All which aren't in rtr. Rtr got the first 5 in the list, gate crash gets the last 5
Azorius and Boros they have my fav 3 colors. Lol
