Technically the Guild Leader of Dimir, Simic, Azorius, Boros and Selesnya were different in Return to Ravnica from original Ravnica. So we can all assume he is dead or just replaced.
Hes well alive. The Guildgates have the Guildmasters and the champions quotes on them.

Yeah I don't know why WotC put Ruric on the guildgate flavor text and then didn't give him a card when all the other gates have their leader/champion referenced.
From the Guildgates Ruric was implied... I am surprised to see her. Perhaps her flavor text on Stomping Grounds was switched with that from the Guildgates.

So it doesn't give you ramp when you need to ramp early game. Then it hamstrings you late game leaving you only to cast creatures. Dies to almost everything in the Eternal formats and can be countered fairly easily as well.

Not sure I understand the mana ability does it behave like Urban Utopia or like Gift of Paradise where you have 2 mana?

Neither, actually. If you tap your Rootbound Crag for R then you get RR instead. In this color combination you probably aren't running too many noncreature spells, anyway, so doubling up on your mana for creature spells is a really good thing. Turn 1 mana dork, subsequent Nikya on turn 4, untap on turn 5 with the possibility of 8, 9, or 10 mana (depending upon whether you played a land every turn and if your dork survives) to drop some ridiculous bomb or two decent heavy-hitters is always a good plan, especially if you managed to Rhythm of the Savages on turn 2.
Well, the purpose of this card would be to cast a giant Banefire as follow-up or so. Unless you clutter you deck with fatties which are dead draws most of the time or have a decent mana sink on the board, it restricts you pretty much and you have a nice legendary vanilla.

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!

EDIT: except of course, I can't actually donate it while in play. Duh. I guess I'd need to use something else that swaps permanents.
its a very simple set of abilities, that completely change deck building

Or you can, y'know, use the permanent-based donate option in her colors.
Right, it's a triggered mana ability that makes your lands produce another mana of whatever color they produced.

No. You can't cast noncreature spells.
That was actually my point.
Bazaar Trader comes to mind.
On phasing:
You can run some sac outlets like Greater Good and you still get some major advantage out of this.

You still can’t cast noncreature spells off the Oracle, or any red effect like it, with Nikya out because its still you casting the spell.
