Contrary to my own misinterpretation of the speculation, our promos will not be the Guild Leaders.
This is probably a good thing, considering that the spoiled ones so far seem to have goofy mana costs, and would promote a very lopsided metagame because Niv-Mizzet seems to be better than the others.
So here are the cards. Wizards also spoiled the ensuing promo cards for the future GameDay at the end of October and the preceding FNMs, which you can find here.

If anything, I see a slight advantage to Izzet, because their charm is the most powerful, though pulling a GB rare in the Golgari guild would make that deck a contender.
Assuming you're gonna play some Limited to get these cards, you do have a couple combinations depending on which guild you choose.
I'm assuming you're gonna have to play three color, so you're deck will probably be one of these combos:
Green-Black-White (Selesnya/Golgari)
Green-Black-Red (Golgari/Rakdos)
Black-Red-Blue (Izzet/Rakdos)
Red-Blue-White (Izzet/Azorius)
Blue-White-Green (Azorius/Selesnya)
Kudos if you get a more consistent set of playables though.
Consider this though when you choose your guild in a couple weeks. Don't look at the cards, necessarily.
Good Luck Future Guildleaders!
Pass it up

I don't know if Izzet is necessarily better, because if you ask me, Selesnya's Grove of the Guardian is just brutish.
ReplyDeleteI will agree that the Izzet Charm is quite powerful, but Azorius Charm comes in a close second.
I've already been inducted into the Azorius guild online, so now I must wait until that pre-release. It's so close!
P.S. A little birdy told me that these promos are the rares that come with each RtR intro pack. Just thought that was interesting.
