Haha. I didn’t really want them but it came with the dice and stickers. They look neat but i wouldn’t ever use them.
Oh well since I am not selling those, i guess i might not get sales (I may end up buying a second set of dice just so the guilds have 2 guild dice for a 40 life total)
Good call on 2x dice. Something I should look into.
Do you have any deck lists? Are you sticking to Ravnica only?
i'm still working on the decks. I have been unable to do much with work, car repairs, injury and just keeping myself busy with other things. But i did get my non foil teysa in the mail, so at least i can play 60 card magic for now.
Colorless spell? Too easy to cheat out. With mana rocks and cost reducers. I could probably cast it turn 2 or 3. Heck one of my decks can cast (15 or less) turn 1.

The sides are a perfect size for the stickers. I used the entire sticker as opposed to just the center circle. I ordered the dice, stickers and pins off eBay for about $25.
If you have the dragon sleeves no need to switch them out as the quality is better. Not a huge fan of the matte front and glossy back of the Guild sleeves. But the sleeves are durable and look great!
Wait people will actually buy the pins. I should sell mine then, i have no use for them.
Here’s some pictures of my Guild decks. They have the Ultra Pro sleeves and I’m using the Standly 10 compartment organizer that the Professor reviewed here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kSm49YvmBbg&vl=en
I used stickers from the guild kits for the side of each commpartment
The two extra compartments at the top are used for token/dice storage and a 5 color Gates deck that is very much a work in progress.
I am also using the stanley. However I bought a second since i was given two double compartments in both. So My EDH box has 3 double compartments while my guild one has 10 (And a double for my planechase cards)
Since a few deck will be taken apart for my guild decks I will have to rebuild. My Dragons are staying in tact and My cEDH will remain intact as well.
I did not know the sides were big enough to house the stickers. i will probably do that. As for sleeves, i am using Dragon shield. i would have gone with the guild art ultra pro, but i have not been happy with their quality. (Plus they were hard to find. If I need to distinguish which deck is which (Although I will learn the colors and position quickly.) I will just print a card to go on top like your sleeves.
I think the biggest thing is going to be deciding which theme to concentrate on for each guild. Some guilds are pretty much set; Selesnya's mechanics of Convoke, Populate, and Convoke again are prime for going down a tokens theme route, and Simic is almost mandatory that it be a +1/+1 counter deck with Graft, Evolve, and Adapt. Differentiating Boros from Rakdos is also going to be hard given that they are kinds in all-out attack mode.
Anyway, I think that once you start looking at all the various 10-card cycles that permeate through the various Ravnica blocks, you will see cards that will become auto-includes for each deck. For example, each guild was given an artifact and a land with a guild-colored activation cost in the original Ravnica block, and all of those cards are very "in-tune" with what those guilds are all about.
Yea, along with the charms. I think in most cases, so long as it has "Guild name" in teh card's name, it will be included. (In most cases, not all)
It will be difficult to balance for a 40 life format, but I would say to build the decks and tune afterwards.
I would set strict limitations (like limiting the number of cards not found in a Ravnica set) and then push the decks as much as possible within those limitations.
that's a good idea. I will figure out the formula and then tweak it so every deck can follow the same format.
I should also mention that chnaces are i will not include any PWs. Mainly due to the fact that not ever guild has one that works. I mean there are four R/B PWs and Boros has one less at a whopping three. I just feel it is unfair.
the thing is, with pillowfort, it is not a deck you can pick up and play as easily as say a "Turn sideways" gruul deck. All deck I am building focus on fun decks for newbies or people who may just want to try a more casual deck. Sure they may not all be the same strategy, but Pillowofort is not gonna fly well with everyone. Especially if you are rolling to randomly decide which deck you will be playing.
So I would rather keep basic gameplay as apparent as possible while having some little tricks behind it.
Granted there is a lot of time to think about it as due to recent events in my life, converting them is not a luxury I can afford to do right now. I could sell cards, but doing so would be for money i need to use to pay pills, not to build decks.
Commander/EDH has always used Legendary Creatures. The planeswalkers were pretty much a one time thing (With the exception of the Kenrith twins) So you have 7 planewalkers that can be your ocmmander.
Love this idea. I would also recommend adding the cluestone and keyrune for each guild, and also give them all darksteel ingot, mind stone, thran dynamo and Hedron Archive.
I will do that. Though thran dynamo is a little expensive. (Unless it dropped)
Green having access to ramp would give them an unfair advantage if you don't allow non green from playing with fast mana. I guarantee the power level from simic to boros will be wide. I don't think every deck will need sol ring but some will need it to be able to keep up.
Or I could just play to their strengths. Tokens for Selesnya, big Hastey stuff for Gruul, Growth for Simic and graveplay for Golgari. no fast mana and yet still on theme.
These decks are not meant to be competitive, they are meant to be fun. So i keep the theme of the guild in tact.
I now have 20 dragons entering the battlefield, but, Can I stack the triggers so Lathliss' dragon tokens enter first so the ten dragons entering would see her tokens and do 60 damage/dragon? (Since they would see all 60 dragons, and Lathliss tokens would see the 60 dragons as the 10 from kindred already has them on the battlefield) Or would the valkas trigger have the initial 20 damage (x4)/dragon already etched into it, regardless of how many more dragons enter before it resolves?
Hmm. I should add this to my deck. I often have a few dragons. Sometimes a large board. Tokens help... even at a 3, that is 3 more dragons on the field.
That said. Can't think think of any amazing combos. Of course with say conspiracy any combo can be used.

I manage to pull of playing Kindred Summons (obviously I choose dragons) (Since i have Dragon tempest and two Panharmonicons we already established I won at this point, but I am curious)
