Ravnica Guilds Bosses vs Bolas
Lore forum

My question is simple: If they wanted,could the bosses of the guilds of ravnica take on Nicol Bolas on their own? I mean, are the various Niv-mizzet/Rakdos… enough powerfull to face him? Also, among them who do you think will play an important role in the battle?

Ok but in a 1vs1 fight, How stronger is (if he is..) Bolas compared to Niv-Mizzet? Or Rakdos?

My guess is Bolas' could win against either of them one on one. It also depends on conditions of the fight too.

And according to you dbpunk will they play an important role in the war or they'll just try to minimize the damages for their guild?

About Niv there are 2 ways to look at it. First they are both dragons, so perhaps Niv wants to try to learn from Bolas somehow. Second, I believe Niv is trying to Transcend to Planeswalker status himself via experimentation which could put him on the same/near level as bolas if he is successful. I do hope Niv plays an important role in Bolas' downfall in WotS.

I think already they've played a decent part. Because of their own infighting and hubris, they've given Nicol Bolass the perfect stage to hurt the gatewatch and make them view a plane in war. In addition, they'll probably still play a role by either fighting with or against the gatewatch (depending who they are, of course).
But if anything, seeing how they are and have been in the past, each guild leader would be happy to suddenly increase their own ambitions, regardless of overall effect. For example, Niv-Mizzett wouldn't care if the rest of Ravnica died if he could experiment with the rest and still remain in control. Not to mention the new leaders all are out for their own personal glory besides Dovin.

I know it has been a few years since this was posted but I have been reading a lot of lore. There was a planeswalker that founded a guild. Azor of the Azorius guild was a planeswalker who gave up his spark to create the immortal sun on Ixalan after he had seemingly abandoned his guild.

I think if they had been willing to all fight against him, yes. None of the originals were Planeswalkers, but each were pretty powerful in terms of how they could use magic. If all of them were semiunited in fighting Bolas', his armies wouldn't stand a chance. Which is why he created power struggles on Ravnica by installing his Planeswalkers as guild leaders.
