Talk:Ravnica (Magic: The Gathering)

message: Note that although the full title of the set is Ravnica: City of Guilds, the title of the article is simply Ravnica. This is in keeping with Wikipedia's naming conventions, which favor common usage when determining how to title an article, and writing out the full name in the article's body (see Frankenstein or Moll Flanders for an example). Note that in his article introducing the official Ravnica previews, the set's own lead designer, Mark Rosewater, does not once use the "City of Guilds" portion of the title and simply calls it "Ravnica" throughout, even though the article is essentially official Wizards of the Coast promotion for the set. Please respect the Wikipedia convention. Andrew Levine 00:11, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Do we have the right to use the official desriptions of the guilds? The current test is copied from http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=magic/guildpact/gruul and similar pages. --Apoc2400 08:02, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed the extraneous text from the Gruul description (which referred to images on the original page). The text is actually that which is included with the theme decks; there shouldn't be anything wrong with transcribing a freely-available blurb. --Tikitikirevenge 00:43, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Recentish large additions. 

message: I've made an atempt to collect all the information together under the guild titles and cut out things which can't be validated. It still looks a little messy so I'd appreciate some help. Jefffire 14:52, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clean up 

message: We need to reword the guild entries so they look less like a cut and paste job from Mark Rosewater's articles. Any takers? Jefffire 11:37, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll work on it. Sometime. Scumbag 02:00, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Read this: Rewording needed 

message: I have a few plans for this article, one I've already done:
* Remove the "Play Style" sections from some of the guilds; eventually use the "Values and Gameplay" thing instead. There's no real competitive deck based soley on the guilds, so I don't think its relevent. The later, on the other hand, works as both a thematic and informative basis.
* Rewrite the copied-from-Wizards guild comments.
This is off the top of my head - it's late, and I'm tired. Discuss. Scumbag 07:48, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Damn right, scumbag. I did a huge rewrite a few months earlier, but I regret to say I've been a bit lazy latley. Play style is entirely OR, and was incorrect in places. I'll have a go at rewriting the guild descriptions before Rosewater has our legs broke. Jefffire 11:27, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Parun

message: Could someone add what exactly is Ravinca in the real word, i.e. where the story originated, and what exactly it has to do with Magic: the Gathering stuff, how exactly does Ravinca come into play? what exactly is this term used for within Magic?   
If all this is already in the article, then its pretty hard to understand and should be cleared up. as a complete noob, this makes no sense to me, and doesn't help me understand anything. remember, the world of Magic is pretty deep and extensive... what a lot of experienced hoobyists/players take for granted is still a learning process for others.

replies: text: Forgive me for sounding rude, but what part of 'In the card game Magic: The Gathering, Ravnica is a plane whose primary planet is covered by cities. Ravnica is the setting for Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, and Dissension' did you not understand? It's clear that Ravnica is the setting for one of the later Magic: The Gathering sets.

thread_title:  wait, what is Ravnica? 

message: This is about a card game. I would appreciate to find at least short rules for the game here. This is merely a description of the world of RAV.
:Exactly. "This is merely a description of the world of RAV." Try Magic: The Gathering or look in rules at . Also it would be best if you talked to someone- they are pretty complicated and based on flavor. Deadbraincell 03:05, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Rules?

message: It would be great to add in some illistrations of the land, etc. That way people can actually have a clue as to what it looks like, or what it is intended to look like. By showing the little sigils of the guilds and pictures of a couple cards doesn't at all help to orient you in the world of Ravnica. 70.48.161.4 04:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: The article begins "Ravnica is a Magic: The Gathering block" (bold is mine).  Is it clear to readers what a block is?  Do we need to define this? RJFJR (talk) 19:54, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Define 'block'? 

message: Guilds of Ravnica block is the actually unofficial name of a series of three magic the gathering sets on Ravnica: Guilds of Ravnica, Ravnica Allegiance and an unnamed set. These are most recent sets that is related to Ravnica. Since I don't know how to build an totally new page. Can some one deal with that? Lever112 (talk) 20:54, 28 November 2018 (UTC)
