MTG Ravnica Allegiance Orzhov Mechanic, New Cards & Spirit Token Revealed

Wizards of the Coast

Wizards of the Coast is revealing all five guild mechanics of Ravnica Allegiance this week. We've already seen the mechanic for Rakdos yesterday, and today, it's Orzhov's turn.

The black/white Ravnica guild's mechanic is Afterlife, an ability that spawns a 1/1 black/white Spirit token or more when the creature with Afterlife dies. Here's the official spotlight video that features the Planeswalker Kaya:

Here are the two cards revealed with Afterlife so far: Imperious Oligarch and Tithe Taker.

Imperious Oligarch is not a bad common. A 2/1 Vigilance with Afterlife 1 for only 2 mana is good value

Tithe Taker could potentially see play in Modern Death & Taxes decks.

Check out the Ravnica Allegiance black/white Spirit token:
