So I stopped by and picked up the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica the other day and have to say this was a really big surprise given how let down I've been of the Ixalan and other MTG supplements. Several new races, good description of Ravnica and the guilds, unique backgrounds, advice on how to get players from different guilds to work together, new spells and domains, and a good description of Precinct 10 along with who is where.
The only gripe I have with the book are nit-picks. For one I was expecting a bit more on the history of Ravnica and how it actually grew to become what it is in the current age, as Tutuapp9appsShowbox we've got city biomes literally built atop of ancient oceans and seas. They also don't go into detail on what the process is to join a guild for guildless outsiders that have traveled to Ravnica. I found some are self implied, such as Golgari just taking whoever they can find and shoveling them into the system, or Orzhov basically roping people in through loans and debt. However, the ones that really needed this bit fleshed out more are House Demir, the Azorious, and Boros.
Also, FYI they do not provide an adventure in the core book as much as adventure hooks and ideas. You'll have to come up with your own stuff or possibly buy a premade adventure down the line.
Over all, I haven't been this pleased with a world book since the coming of Eberon, so hopefully they will expand on this setting with more than just one book.
How on earth did Simic Hybrid make it and not them? They actually seemed rather interesting, whereas Simic Hybrid just seemed like a mess, and from the abilities in the playtest, to not even really match it's own "give animal abilities to humanoids" concept.
I'm planning on running an unsanctioned KodiLucky Patchernox tournament in our office and since I have no access to a WER tool, a friend suggested that
Anyone knows how accurate is this as an alternative to WER?

This number is the price of a complete playset of MTGO, meaning the price you would pay to buy every single different card (if multiple versions exist, only the cheapest one counts) on MTGO four times from them.
