How do you think they are going to do the maze part?  Just a check list like before, or something bigger.  I'm not keen on the you and your guild mates advance together. Strictly because with ten guilds, if its the first guild you pick (I.E. I pick Dimir, so rakdos doesn't count) with only 45-50 people I may get a guild that only has two other people, where Boros has 15.

Knowing my luck I'll just get guildgates.

Also I don't think you will get simic and gruul, as it said in the article one guild from each set. (One gtc, one rtr)
Simic and izzet! Or simic and...golgari...or simic and selesnya (probably has the most synergy). Or simic and azorious

Mikefrompluto

Yeah im curious about the maze part as well.

So, in other words Simic? Lol

Why? Because it has some of the best removal in Limited?

If I picked a red guild. It would be izzet. Izzet is instant and sorcery based. Plus, the cant block thing really turns me off to rakdos. It's less strategy space to work with. So I don't really like it all that much. I like cards that give options. Rakdos takes away options if you choose to give it a plus one counter. Hellbent was much better in my opinion

If you Unleash everything, you don't have to worry about blocking, they do. I thought Rakdos was great in Sealed

Well, I've never tried it. So I guess I shouldnt judge. I don't mind smashing them with big creatures, just as long as I can do it with flare

I feel ya, I like doing things with my cards, rather than just turning dudes sideways

But rakdos and boros would be nuts. As would rakdos and gruul

Eh...neither idea seems cool to me. But I can see how that could be good

I am actually kinda disappointed by the land thing. I've been trading going for RTR and GTC to get my shocks, and guildgates were already plentiful enough. I'd rather have full arts or something new.

I don't mind getting more shocks, I rarely trade lands anyways.

If they have custom art for Maze, then I'll be getting two boxes. If not, then eh. Lol :)
