But let's first break down which guilds are going to be shown in this set, with a little handy dandy guide to this set in the form of guild listings.

Set 1 of this block, Return to Ravnica contains these 5 particular guilds


                                                            Izzet

                                                               Rakdos

                                                                 Golgari

                                                                 Azorius 

                                                              Selesyna

Set 2 of this block will contain the following 5.

                                                                  Gruul

                                                                   
                                                                     Boros

                                                                    Orzhov

                                                                    Simic 

                                                                       Dimir        
                                                   
All 5 of the guilds i listed above will be featured in Gatecrash, with the other 5 already being known, Set 3 we know will hold all 10 guilds but be a small set, this set as we also know features the return of a old planeswalker, Gideon whom has sided it seems with the Boros as i showed yesterday, see yesterday's article for the pic. With that though it ends today's article, you can expect to have as much fun with this set as the upcoming return to ravnica honestly and i for one am pleased these guilds are coming back, till next time this is vergil signing off.
