Okay either wait until tommorrow or read the spoilers now.

What do you, the Magic Community think is the strongest Guild in Ravnica from a constructed tournament standpoint?

Boros (aggro-radiance)
Dimir (Mill-Transmute)
Golgari (creatures-Dredge)
Selesyna (swarming, enchantments, Convoke)
Orzhov (bleeding,Haunt)
Izzet (strong sorcery/instant emphasis, Replicate)
Gruul (brute force, Bloodthirst)
Simic (can go either control or aggro, Graft)
Radkos (kamikaze style, strong board control, Hellbent)
Azorius (Skies,control, Forecast)

Will it be a speed/tempo issue? Card Advantage? Best Creatures or something else? Tell me what you all think.

From the votes so far it seems players think the strongest deck will have three colors. Normally two colors would be enough as one color would shore up any weaknesses in the second color but this way the third color could shore up the weaknesses in the other two colors.

Or everyone just likes to play Zoo.

(I've seen some "everything but the kitchen sink" versions of that zoo too. -_-; )

Aren't three colors just asking for trouble especially from Blood Moon? (It almost seems that Blood Moon is like a non factor as I hardly ever seen it played.)

Now that Dissension is out and all of the guilds are present, once again I ask...

Which is the strongest?

3 color = roxor.

3 colors will cover every weakness of every color...

Black:
Strengths: Creature destruction, life loss.
Weaknesses: Enchantments (Karma?)

White:
Strengths: Life gain, mass creature wipe.
Weaknesses: Really fast aggro

Red:
Strengths: Damage, fast small critters, also dragons.
Weaknesses: Combo decks.

Blue:
Strengths: Counters, control.
Weaknesses: Fast aggro, LD and burn.

Green:
Strengths: Mana accel, big beaters.
Weaknesses: No real way to deal with creatures, but with more creatures.


I just glazed over this, but still...mixing three colors, and taking their strengths SHOULD give you an ideal deck.
