I wasn't around for the original Ravnica, so in preperation for RTR, can someone explain the guilds? Can you list what colors they include, the story behind them, and what "theme" (i heard Golgari was graveyard). RTR is going to be my first pre-release, since I've never played competitively before.

Golgargi and Boros FTW. That's all you need to know

I've never been to any FNM or prereleases, or even any competive tournaments. I really just play with my friends currently. Whats the difference between prereleases and other tournaments?

And also, on youtube Wizards said that at the prerelease, they give you one "Guild-pack" of your choice, and then a box with 6 RTR packs.

A box with 6 packs? I thought the guild pack was one and then you got five more

He's not the "Guild Leader".  You'll get the guy from the Duel Decks.
