A Fiery Conclusion

Today we look at the two remaining guilds of Ravnica, both half-red: the soldiers of Boros and the scientists of Izzet.

The Boros Legion

Zealous guardians of justice, the Boros are paradoxically both the guild that left the largest mark on ongoing terminology (you hear about Boros decks in formats long after Ravnica) and the guild with the worst ability word, Radiance. (Effects with "target creature and each other creature that shares a color with it" in them.)

AKA the world's most expensive Pyroclasm.

It's very difficult to figure out exactly how to structure the guild around something other than just "aggressive red white", and I'm honestly still considering restructuring before Sunday if some cards arrive in the mail tomorrow. But one thing that is going on is Battle Cry:

AKA the world's most expensive Fog.
