In the DGM prerelease there will be guild alliances. What are your predictions?
Mine are:
Yeah from what I gather, it isn't a definitive combo. It's not guild X is definitely aligned with with guild Y all across the board. It's completely random and will be different for each person at the prerelease.
According to WotC the guild ally will share one of you colours but be from a differ expansion do if if the guild was released in RtR your ally guild will be from gatecrash and visa versa, so no boros or dimir allying with Orzhov.
Orzhov--- rakdos/golgari/azorius or selesnyia
Dimir----- rakdos/golgari/azorius or izzet
Boros---- rakdos/izzet/azorius or selesnyia
Simic----- izzet/golgari/azorius or selesnyia
Gruul----- rakdos/golgari/izzet or selesnyia
Rakdos---- Orzhov/dimir/boros or gruul
Azorius----- Orzhov/boros/dimir or simic
Izzet------- dimir/boros/gruul or simic
Golgari---- orzhov/dimir/gruul or simic
Selesnyia----Orzhov/boros/gruul or simic
Orzhov+Azorious sounds like most obnoxious combo ever. Detain with extort. Gross.
Rakdos is sounding pretty good to me. Strong on its own, and all of those possible gtc allies would meld well with them.
It should make dragon maze Prelease interesting
Battalion + Overload

I hope I trigger battalion off some unleashed creatures.
With those colours you could even toss in some extort ;)
Rakdos and Boros :o
Aggro all the things \o/

Oh god, soo much removal... Soo much Aggro!
I'm hoping for Boros and Azorius or Boros and Rakdos
I'd love to see gruul with rakdos. Sooo many possibilities...

wow. Bleeder on steroids
Cause my primary deck is a RWB EDH, I'm hoping to score a Boros-Rakdos combo. Though, to be honest, I kind of have all the cards I need for that deck and then some. I'll be waiting till the previews to figure what I want.
Cool combos are (remember this is my opinion),
Simic/Golgari: both involve +1/+1 counter mechanics, corpsejack menace makes evolve+scavenge broken.
Rakdos/Boros: very aggro :O (I know right SHOCKER!!) can get good hits in fast, rakdos's fast hitters, plus battilion = very cruel and unusual deck...
What about Piotr+Dudecore. Or Gorzo+Infinite divinity? I bet those would make some cool kick *** combinations
A combination I'd rather get is Boros-Orzhov. Battalion-Extort? Hello!

However orzhov isn't an option to pair with boros, if you get boros-rakdos you have the colours to add orzhov in tho
Guilds are allied with those who share a colour with it. Boros is Red-White. Orzhov is Black-White. Why wouldn't they be allied?
Because the mystery ally you get is from the opposite set, boros and orzhov were both in gatecrash
Ah, right. Of course.

Ah, right. Of course.
Im liking selesnya orzhov! Tons of tokens/life to hold you while you slowly grind away with extort? As well as sac tokens for {cartel aristrocrat} or {undercity informer}??? Im feeling some loooong games from this combo.
I think Selesnya Simic would be awesome. Or perhaps Simic Azorious.
Im being izzet and hoping for boros!!
Battalion and overload!!
I'm going Boros and hoping for either Rakdos or Izzet

Going Rakdos and hoping for Boros, myself. Gruul would be nice, too. Or Dimir. Or Orzhov...
The way I see it, I can't possibly get a pair I don't like if I pick Rakdos.
I really want simic 100% but its between azouris and selesyna for guild 2
I'm on the fence about what I run, I was a Golgari supporter during RTR and a Simic Supporter for GTC, but I really like Rakdos' playstyle, there was so much removal! Options...
I started off with {R}{W}, but that was with Radiance instead of Battalion.
I'd love to get Selesnya and Gruul/Simic for my wife. She'd excel with {G}{U}{W}.
Golgari and Rakdos, {Jarad, the lich lord} and just tossing creatures in the graveyard and gaining blood rush abilities. Board clear, and +1/+1 counters
Sorry I meant Golgari and Gruul
I'm going Orzhov for both prereleases. And will be hoping to get azorius as my ally
Golgari and simic would be pretty nasty
