[Community Discussion]: What's your guild?
Social forum
Posted on Jan. 30, 2015, 5:37 p.m. by Epochalyptik
Most players have a hard time identifying with a single color. How do we solve this? Color pairs!
Which of the following guilds do you identify with most? Why? Are you a cunning strategist? Do your passions rule you? Represent your guild!
-The Azorius Senate -
- The Orzhov Syndicate -
-The House Dimir -
- The Izzet League -
- The Cult of Rakdos -
- The Golgari Swarm -
- The Gruul Clans -
The Boros Legion -
- The Selesnya Conclave -
- The Simic Combine -
Not sure which guild you belong in?
Take the official guild quiz to find out!

It's a choice between golgari and selesnya. Selesnya was my first competitive deck, and I'm built for aggro, and I love grindy games as well. Hmm... I'm gonna go for golgari because it's super powerful (yes I'm looking at you Abrupt Decay and Deathrite Shaman!!)

Quiz said Gruul. I have a lot of fun playing Rakdos though. It's so brutally effective.

Simic was what I started with, Simic is what I'm going to always be with. No one else can have Frog Lizards or Crab Sharks like we do.

Ohh didnt see the test which according to it im Dimir or possibly orzhov but those 2 are my fave guilds anyway :)
February 2, 2015 1:16 a.m.
Hm. It really depends on what has the most awesome cards at the time that are playable, but I switch from Azorius to Orzhov. It definitely has to be competitive, but at the same time i want to be using cards that I like using.

Always been . I'm a stoner that lives out in the mountains growing bud. Always been into the darker side of life so to say. Surely 1 could see how Golgari worked out to be a reflection of character.
That being said I put a lot of research into the illuminati, temple of set, and the occult as a whole. Explains why I own Marsh Flats and Windswept Heath if u get what I'm saying...

Orzhov
is the best. None may be spared... for free.
February 2, 2015 5:11 a.m.
Dimir, black and blue are the most powerful colors and you gotta love Shadow of Doubt on a fetchland.

Dimir resonates with me too well. I like the fact that they're the dark shadow of Ravnica that everyone pretends doesn't exist, like a bedtime story told to make children go to bed. That's how I play; I like to watch my opponent's deck and learn what they're going to do so I can crush them in the worst way possible. They also hold my favorite archetype in the game: Mill.
I feel like Glimpse the Unthinkable's flavor text definitely explains House Dimir.
"I am confident that if anyone actually penetrates our facades, even the most perceptive would still be fundamentally unprepared for the truth of House Dimir."
My life for Lazav!

My favourite is Orzhov however, according to the quiz, I'm Izzet. Huh. That's new!
February 2, 2015 2:15 p.m.
As a primarily EDH player, I have to say that / is definitely my favorite.
I love 3-color decks, and my 3 most prominent masterpieces are a , a , and a combo decks. Dimir spells have access to the most powerful win conditions, card draw, and overall oppressive power- the three things I value most in decks.
February 2, 2015 2:34 p.m.
I'd self identify as purely . Quiz came back with Izzet as my guild (other options being Dimir, Simic, and Azorius).

Rasta_Viking29 says... #21
I identify with . When combining with another color I favor it's allies and quite enjoy Gruul and Rakdos.
February 2, 2015 5:40 p.m.
for the win! weirdos unite! WE are the true experimenters, not the simic! Jace solved the Dragon's maze because Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind told him it exists! Go Ral Zarek and Dack Fayden! has the most walkers out of ANY color combo!

I very confidently identify as a member of the Boros Legion. In the past few years, I cemented myself in that role on this site with my most upvoted deck ever:
The Sunfist Brigade Playtest
Standard
SCORE: 159 | 3 COMMENTS | 48658 VIEWS Top 8: 04/12It remains one of the top 100 decks by score on the site even though its time has long passed, and I always kept it updated with all my results (many top 8s) and responded to feedback from many users to make it as powerful as possible. It was my most rewarding TappedOut experience to date.
I play Boros in Modern, Standard, and Commander. I would play it in Legacy if there were a decent build.

Its been three days and we still don't know which guild you are, Epochalyptik.

Epochalyptik says... #27
The quiz tells me each time that I'm Azorius. Most of my friends say I'm Orzhov.
As a player, I'm probably Dimir.
February 2, 2015 7:14 p.m.
I'm Dimir, so don't worry I already know what all of you guys are. That said, I have respect for the ingenuity of Izzet and Simic--but as for the Azorius, I'm only glad they exist because they give me rules to break. Dimir will always come out on top, whether the other guilds are aware of it or not. ;)

I'm an Izzet League member, (if you can't tell) Because of my ingenuity, passion, and burning hatred for all things stupid and slow! plus, Niv-Mizzet is a dragon and who doesn't love dragons! I do occasionally delve off path a bit and even do five color Wrath of the Ur-Dragon is my favorite five color edh deck

logansullivan says... #31
Asher18 i would like to point out that izzet only has two planeswalkers and is tied with golgari but is still less than gruul
February 2, 2015 9:26 p.m.
Quiz told me I was Azorius, which is not a combo I would have picked for myself. I made a deck based on it after getting the result but I don't know, I guess I'll experiment with the colors and see if it works for me.

I've always been the Selesnya kinda guy. Started playing around the time the first Ravnica Block came out, and I loved my Saproling Tokens. =)

Always been told I'm a Simic. Quite honestly, I can see it. I like blue for the control and green for the ramp, and I like the idea of improving people with science.
Also Kruphix, God of Horizons + Prophet of Kruphix makes me a happy camper.
February 3, 2015 9:09 a.m.
Izzet all the way! Take you all down in one Epic Experiment!
February 3, 2015 10:48 a.m.
The Gruul definatly. Boborygmos lead me and let my savegry release itself from the fleshy prison of my mind. The natural growth of and the firey passion and rage of . Let us rule!!!
February 3, 2015 12:09 p.m.
Izzet FTW I love counter burn so cards like Mindswipe are right up my alley.
February 3, 2015 12:17 p.m.
Orzhov, though I pull out some Dimir or Golgari now and then, depending on what I need to do. You take the mind with Dimir, take the body with Golgari, but take soul with Orzhov.

I tend to stick with Dimir, Izzet, or a combination of the two (Grixis). With Dimir, it's not always about milling (though that is always fun). But, rather I love playing blue so I can be a punk and counter things, and with black I can just bring back any creatures that are countered this way. Playing Izzet also allows me to counter things, but the red adds a bit of "oomph" and throws Fireballs so to speak. Grixis to me is a mix of both, I can easily play from graveyards, throw burn spells, and counter. Maybe I'm just a dick when it comes to magic, but I tend to play this way.
If we're talking mono colors, I tend to stick with blue for pretty much the same reasons as mentioned above or white to just sit there and bubble everything.

Onlytruereject says... #47
On a side note, Grixis isn't a guild... just a combination of two guilds. So that in mind, either Dimir, Izzet, or Rakdos would be my picks.
February 3, 2015 1:12 p.m.
For the conclave! I'm a big fan of anything with red in it. Izzet in limited is tons of fun. Boros and Rakdos are always fun combinations. I even like the big Gruul clans. All the red combinations are second tier to Selesnya though. Still love the combination of green and white. I love boggles and tokens and the theme of the conclave.

My personality is azorious but I much prefer playing orzhov. I love killing things with the most efficient removal in the game all the while slowly draining my opponents down, or just blitzing with super-efficient tokens and big pump spells.
Plus, they have my two favorite flavor texts:
Death Grasp - "Plate mail, the skin of the chest, the rib cage, the heart - all useless against the mage who can reach directly for the soul."
and Mortify - "Many who cross Sorin's path come down with a sudden and fatal case of being-in-the-way-of-a-millennia-old-vampire."
Xrandox says... #1
Dimir has became my favorite as of lately. My quiz said Azorious... maybe i should go Esper and join guilds... lol
