Ravnica block
 
Preconstructed theme decks
 

The Ravnica block is the eleventh Magic: The Gathering block, comprising of the large expansion Ravnica: City of Guilds () and the two small expansions Guildpact () and Dissension (). The block was released in 2005–2006.[1][2]

Sets

Details

Development codenames

The development codenames for Ravnica block expansions are "Control", "Alt", and "Delete".[3]

Marketing

Dissension Life Counter featuring Rakdos the Defiler art

Ravnica block fat packs featured specially designed life counters with artwork from the sets instead of the spindown life counters normally found in fat packs.

Themes and mechanics

Themes

Thematically, the Ravnica block was multicolor-centered and, thus, was the spiritual successor to the Invasion block of 2000–2001. The Ravnica block was the first block to introduce the "guild model", wherein a number of guilds, each of which with its own cards and abilities and/or keywords, would be as introduced in an expansion and be as developed and complex as they would be (until returning to the plane with Return to Ravnica block), rather than the traditional model of expansions, wherein abilities and/or keywords would be introduced in the first of usually three expansions and then progressively increase in complexity throughout the block. Four guilds (Boros, Dimir, Golgari, Selesnya) were introduced in City of Guilds, three more (Gruul, Izzet, Orzhov) were introduced in Guildpact, and the final three (Azorius, Rakdos, Simic) debuted in Dissension.

Mechanics

The keywords introduced in the Ravnica block are:[4][5]

Guild Azorius
{W/U} 		Dimir
{U/B} 		Rakdos
{B/R} 		Gruul
{R/G} 		Selesnya
{G/W} 		Orzhov
{W/B} 		Izzet
{U/R} 		Golgari
{B/G} 		Boros
{R/W} 		Simic
{G/U}
Keyword Forecast Transmute Hellbent Bloodthirst Convoke Haunt Replicate Dredge Radiance Graft

In addition to these ten keywords, the Ravnica block was the first block to feature hybrid mana costs and hybrid cards. Each of Ravnica's 10 guilds featured three hybrid cards, one at each level of rarity as of then; common, uncommon, and rare.

Mega cycles

Ravnica block features eleven 10-card guild mega cycles,[6][7] with one card per guild, and one 20-card guild mega cycle (the "imbalanced gold card" cycle) distributed across Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, and Dissension.

Cycle name Azorius
{W/U} 		Dimir
{U/B} 		Rakdos
{B/R} 		Gruul
{R/G} 		Selesnya

Ocular Halo Roofstalker Wight Kill-Suit Cultist Gruul Nodorog Votary of the Conclave Ostiary Thrull Hypervolt Grasp Elves of Deep Shadow Screeching Griffin Silkwing Scout
Each of these monocolored permanents has an activated ability that use their guild's other mana symbol. Elves of Deep Shadow is the only spell of this cycle that doesn't have mana as an activation cost.
Allied boosting spells Azorius Herald Induce Paranoia Crypt Champion Tin Street Hooligan Dryad's Caress Shrieking Grotesque Steamcore Weird Vigor Mortis Flash Conscription Patagia Viper
Court Hussar Ribbons of Night Squealing Devil Gruul Scrapper Seed Spark Revenant Patriarch Ogre Savant Rolling Spoil Boros Fury-Shield Plaxmanta
Each of these mono-colored spells does something extra if you use its guild's other color to pay its mana costs. Those in Ravnica are spells with additional effects, those in Guildpact are creatures that gain enter-the-battlefield abilities, and those in Dissension are creatures with enter-the-battlefield abilities that are sacrificed unless paid for with the other color.[8]
Common Hybrid Spells Minister of Impediments Lurking Informant Riot Spikes Wild Cantor Centaur Safeguard Mourning Thrull Petrahydrox Gaze of the Gorgon Boros Recruit Shielding Plax
Each of these common spells has exactly one hybrid mana in its mana cost.

Each of these uncommon 2/2 creatures costs two hybrid mana of its guild's colors and each has two abilities, each of which requires mana of one of the guild's colors. They form vertical cycle with common and rare hybrid spells.
Rare Hybrid Spells Dovescape Shadow of Doubt Avatar of Discord Giant Solifuge Privileged Position Debtors' Knell Djinn Illuminatus Gleancrawler Master Warcraft Biomantic Mastery
Each of these rare spells has at least two hybrid mana in its mana cost.
Common Gold Keyword Cards Plumes of Peace Perplex (or Dimir Infiltrator) Gobhobbler Rats Scab-Clan Mauler (or Burning-Tree Bloodscale) Guardian of Vitu-Ghazi Blind Hunter Leap of Flame Shambling Shell Rally the Righteous Vigean Hydropon

Each of these legendary multicolor creatures rewarded players for playing with cards of their two colors, often doubly so for using multicolor cards. Isperia and Kraj are different, but this is clearly the result of their effects and cost having been swapped with those of their respective guildmaster at some point.
Guildmasters Grand Arbiter Augustin IV Szadek, Lord of Secrets Rakdos the Defiler Borborygmos Chorus of the Conclave Ghost Council of Orzhova Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind Sisters of Stone Death Razia, Boros Archangel Momir Vig, Simic Visionary
