This cube is meant to capture, through lore and gameplay, the essence of Ravnica and its ten guilds. Ravnica holds a special place in my heart as one of the first Magic settings I fell in love with when I was first introduced to the game back in 2006. The unique city setting, the "choose your own adventure" feel of the different guilds, and the variety of ways those guilds can become expressions of a player's personality or playstyle have always fascinated me.

The cube is limited to cards that are set on Ravnica, represent native Ravnican characters, or feature characters important to the story of the plane. So something like Izzet Chemister can go in even though it isn't from a Ravnica set. I've tried to avoid populating the cube with minor War of the Spark characters like the various Eternals, but some of it has slipped in due to mechanical necessity of supporting certain archetypes that would otherwise be weak. I've also limited planeswalkers to those like Jace or Liliana, who are central figures to the story of Ravnica or the War of the Spark, with one exception.

The cube's archetypes are as follows:

Azorius wu: Detectives/Clues (Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth | Private Eye | Righteous Authority | Case of the Pilfered Proof | Tangletrove Kelp)
