Guildhall

The guildhalls (or guildhomes) are a 10-card mega cycle of utility lands from Ravnica block. As the name suggests, they represent the headquarter of each Ravnican guild; however, guildhalls are non-legendary.

Each of these uncommon lands taps for and has an activated ability that's thematically related to their guild, with an activation cost that requires the two colored mana of that guild as well as a varying amount of generic mana.

History

The first four guildhomes (from Boros, Dimir, Golgari, and Selesnya) were introduced in September 2005 with Ravnica: City of Guilds. Orzhov, Izzet, and Gruul followed in February 2006 with Guildpact. The cycle was completed in May 2006 with Dissension's inclusion of guildhalls from Azorius, Simic and Rakdos.
