Vraska, Golgari Queen From Guilds of Ravnica Revealed

Wizards of the Coast

The next Magic: The Gathering set Guilds of Ravnica is expected to have two new Planeswalker cards (not including the ones found in the Planeswalker Decks). We've already seen Ral, Izzet Viceroy, and now, the set's new Vraska card has been revealed, and it's called Vraska, Golgari Queen.

TCGPlayer.com revealed the new Planeswalker card first in their silly video:

Here's Vraska, Golgari Queen:

This Planeswalker can help you gain card advantage at the cost of sacrificing another permanent and sometimes, sacrificing certain cards could give you more advantage. Its second ability is decent but not that great, and its ultimate ability reminds us of Phage, the Untouchable's effect. I expect to see this card in decks that will use Assassin's Trophy though most Green/Black decks will probably just run one or two. At this point, it's still hard to tell what the Standard metagame will be like.

Guilds of Ravnica will feature five guilds: Selesnya (green-white), Boros (red-white), Golgari (black-green), Izzet (blue-red), and Dimir (blue-black)

The following set, Ravnica Allegiance will feature the other five guilds: Azorius (blue-white), Rakdos (black-red), Gruul (red-green), Simic (green-blue), and Orzhov (black-white).

Guilds of Ravnica will be released on October 5. Prerelease events will take place on September 29-30.
