''Izzet vs. Golgari'' contains two preconstructed theme decks, one centered on the [[Izzet League]] [[Guilds of Ravnica|guild of Ravnica]] and the other around the [[Golgari Swarm]] guild.

Now the dracomagus seeks to plumb the depths of Ravnica's undercity. But the Golgari don't welcome interlopers in their dank, moldy realm.

Under the command of the elvish lich lord Jarad, the Golgari have dwelled in darkness long enough. The Swarm grows restless and its rot farms need fresh corpses.
