Choose Your Dragon's Maze Guild and Begin Your Destiny

Dragon's Maze Pre-release is just around the corner, and that means preparing to choose your guild. With ten different choices, the decision seems daunting. Guilds of Ravnica site features information on each guild you can choose from, and if that's too overwhelming for you and you can't decide, they have a quiz to see what guild holds your destiny. The guilds of Ravnica are Azorius, Orzhov, Dimir, Izzet, Rakdos, Golgari, Gruul, Boros, Selesnya, and Simic.

Azorius, "My Law. My Judgement. My Guild" is white and blue.
Orzhov, "My Consecration. My Commerce. My Guild" is white and black.
Dimir, "My Secrecy. My Advantage. My Guild" is blue and black.
Izzet, "My Ingenuity. My Obsession. My Guild" is red and blue.
Rakdos, "My Chaos. My Carnage. My Guild" is red and black.
Golgari, "My Darkness. My Horde. My Guild," is green and black.
Gruul, "My Fury. My Freedom. My Guild," is green and red.
Boros, "My Army. My Aggression. My Guild," is white and red.
Selesnya, "My Belief. My People. My Guild," is white and green.
Simic, "My Vision. My Evolution. My Guild" is blue and green.

I was conflicted when choosing my guild because I usually like green, white, and red decks. The quiz provided useful as my results were that I would most likely be in the Selesnya guild. Green and White? Win!

What guild did you choose? What were your results from the quiz and do you think it's accurate? Comment below with your feedback on Dragon's Maze and the guilds.
