In which we continue to follow Rat, Kaya, and Teyo on their mission to unite the wayward guilds. We watch as they visit Selesnya, Gruul, and Golgari in an attempt to convince each in turn to join Operation Desperation.

In this week’s story, I noticed that the name of Boruvo is only one letter different from that of Boruto, the son of Naruto from the manga series of the same name, but I am certain that that is a coincidence.
Nissa awakening Vitu-Ghazi was impressive, but the fact that it was not the Selesnya themselves who did it is unfortunate, since the planeswalkers are overshadowing the natives of Ravnica, whose plane is in peril in the story.
Why did Rat prevent Kaya from explaining who she (Rat) was to Nissa? That made no sense. Actually, the fact that people generally are not able to see her is very interesting, because it can be both a blessing and a curse, so I wonder if that shall be explored in greater detail in the future?
I believe that Kaya may have spoken briefly about her home plane during the story of the second Conspiracy set, but she revealed new information about it, in this story; that Bolas may have caused trouble on it. That is a very interesting piece of information, and I wonder if a return to her home plane may be the focus of a future set?
This story revealed that Storrev is female, despite having a very masculine-sounding name, but that is a fairly minor complaint.
I see that nearly every major character is now gathered together, but the story is not over, yet; as a side note, I definitely plan to read the novel at some point, soon, since these stories are only abbreviated versions of the novel.

Obviously the Boruvo detail was intended. Isn't it obvious?
This detail, the use of ninjutsu in MH1, the artwork in the last set being in fall, when leaves are important?
Boys were going to the Village hidden in the leaves next set! Pack your kunai!

I really enjoyed this story, and it was interesting the way they revealed Rat's magical powers.
