As those who play Magic the Gathering regularly are aware, the most recently completed block was Return to Ravnica(along with Gatecrash and Dragon's Maze). This also saw my personal return to MtG, and I fell in love with the setting. I had some exposure to the original block back in 2005, but not on the same level with Return(Thanks to being 10 years older, more and better internet, etc)

As I've been playing more and more lately, with several decks based around the guilds, I realized how AWESOME it would be to play/run a game in Ravnica. Doing a quick 'net search found several threads here on Paizo and elsewhere, but mostly old ones from the original block and even the newest does not include the Return block.

My younger brother and I have been brainstorming lots of ideas, and here's some of what we came up with.

Guild classes

We created a list of which class we thought best belonged in each guild. This isn't to say other classes couldn't be found, or aren't allowed in, nor do we claim that the various legends for each guild have levels in these classes. Its just what class we felt would be found in the highest number within each guild. The class after the "/" would be the class we feel would pair well with the first were the game to be gestlat(something we personally believe would be the best way to represent the guilds).

Azorius Senate Wizard(Diviner)/Monk(focused on stunning and maneuvers to best represent Detain)

Boros Legion Warpriest. This is subject to change once the final class is released, but I feel this is a solid class to represent the Boros. Not only are they fighting based, but their divine connection is important too.

You could say Paladin, but I feel the Pally is too lawful, and of course, has to be good. Also, I feel the deeper connection a Warpriest has to their deity reflects the Boros' mirroring Razia.

House Dimir Rogue/Illusionist. Pretty self explanatory here.

Golgari Swarm Necromancer/Druid. I feel Necromancy is placed just a wee bit ahead of nature magic, as seen by Dredge.

Gruul Clans Barbarian. Not sure if I would automatically go with Druid for their gestalt class.

Izzet League Sorcerer(Dragon or Elemental bloodline)/Alchemist.

Orzhov Syndicate Cleric, focused on Necromancy magicks. I really don't know what class to gestalt them with. My brother suggested Monk to represent the slaves Orzhov tends to employ.

Cult of Rakdos Witch. Possibly Bard or Magus for the gestalt half.

Selesnya Conclave Druid/Ranger. Focused solidly on summoning, and combat, less on stealth and sneakiness.

Simic Combine Synthesist Summoner. Possibly Transmuter Wizard or Druid for the gestalt half.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Any other ideas in general for this conversion?

Hey man, I've been working on a campaign setting for Ravnica at a slow pace for awhile, I like what you have going here, let me send you the stuff I've made up so far. I don't know if I can post it online or not, would that be copyright infringement? I really don't know. But I can share it with you!


Dear Wuliev. I would also be very interested in what you have gotten down on paper so far. I had the same idea in the shower, but before starting, i googled the concept, and found the other thread. I would be honored if I to could be a part of the mashup of two of my favorite things, that beeng Ravnica and RPGs.
