Guilds of Ravnica block

The Guilds of Ravnica block is the unofficial name for three large expansions set on Ravnica that are to be released in 2018-2019.

Description

It is not a block in the traditional sense, because there is no mechanical overlap and the sets are drafted on their own. Blocks were abandoned in 2018 with the introduction of the Three-and-One Model, but that didn't mean that consecutive expansion couldn't be set on the same plane.

The series consists of Guilds of Ravnica (), Ravnica Allegiance () and the as yet unnamed set codenamed "Milk". The first two each are focused on five of the ten Ravnican guilds. They are what you would expect a return to Ravnica to be and it needed to be two to fit in all the guilds. The third set will focus on the culmination of the storyline around the fight against Nicol Bolas and not on the guilds. It is its own unique thing.

Storyline

The guilds fight internally between the forces pulling them toward or away from Bolas's influence. In the end, five fall under his influence, and five don't. The five guilds that fall to Bolas all have a planeswalker leading the guild.

Guild Kits

The first two sets (Guilds of Ravnica and Ravnica Allegiance) are accompanied by Guild Kits. Each Guild Kit features a 60-card preconstructed theme deck flavored after one of the featured guilds, combining cards from every Ravnica set released so far. The reprints won't be Standard legal. The Kits are packaged with appropriate pins, stickers, and spindown life counters.
