I don’t think so. It’s an example of white words achieving a non-white effect (deathtouch).

Probably my new favorite pick for a dimir ninjas deck. Mostly because I really love artifact synergies #wotcstaff

I’m so happy Dungeon Crawler Carl has paperbacks now so I can start the series (I personally dislike giant hard covers)

I loved my playthrough of this game. It's a really unique and captivating retro horror sci fi world. Give it a shot!

There has to be some old fan art on deviantart that prophetically depicts this lmao

I would say Little Caesars is a good example of true neutral pizza

I think most guilds would be open to vegetarian alternatives. In my interpretation, selesnya is just the only one that’s exclusively vegan. My bet is that you’re right that Golgari is your tastiest vegetarian slice.

Rankings (personal bias):
1. Rakdos
2. Simic
3. Golgari
4. Dimir
5. Orzhov
6. Gruul
7. Izzet
8. Azorius
9. Selesnya
10. Boros
These are based on my tastes and my interpretations of Ravnican guilds. #wotcstaff

Simic PizzaπŸŒ³πŸ’§always tastes good-- but you never get to know what's in it. They've bio-engineered certain seasonings and toppings to be especially delicious as long as you don't think about them. Not great for picky eaters or folks with allergies, but certainly fit for the adventurous pizza-eater.

Boros PizzaπŸ”₯β˜€οΈis built to feed an army. It's calorie-dense hardtack pizza. It's hard like cardboard, but travels well and is cheap to produce. It keeps the legion running without spending too much. Legionnaires often soak their pizza in coffee to soften it up. Not great.

30.01.2026 19:19 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Golgari PizzaπŸ’€πŸŒ³is the most common slice in the city. This guild is known for food production. Their normal slice is nutrient dense, cheap, and affordable. The real treasure is in their toppings. They've got the best mushrooms, the best cheese (especially gorgonzola), and the best pickled toppings.

Izzet PizzaπŸ’§πŸ”₯is experimental. It's macaroni and cheese pizza. It's thai peanut sauce pizza. It's baked potato pizza. It's mayo and kimchi pizza. It's upside-down pineapple cake pizza. It's a molecular gastronomic deconstruction of a pizza. Sometimes it looks like pizza but it's just a bomb.

Orzhov Pizzaβ˜€οΈπŸ’€is complicated. If you order the $100 decadent slice at the high-end resteraunt, you'll get a gaudy gold-leaf and caviar slice that looks far better than it tastes. If you order at that hole-in-the-wall that is probably a laundering front, you'll get one of the best slices in the city.

Selesnya PizzaπŸŒ³β˜€οΈis a uniform slice that each member of the conclave can agree on. It's gluten-free and dairy-free and uses sustainable alternatives that no one is allergic to. The slices are thin since there's a lot to feed. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

Gruul PizzaπŸ”₯🌳is a homemade campfire pizza on an iron skillet. It's made from home-grown ingredients. Self-milled flour for the dough and fresh livestock slaughtered for the toppings. It's great, but there's no storefront to order it. You have to be at a clan gathering to get a slice.

30.01.2026 19:19 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Rakdos PizzaπŸ’€πŸ”₯is peak indulgence and hedonism. It's the greasiest slice of pizza you'll ever have. It's a hot honey pepperoni slice with extra sauce and extra cheese. It's too hot out of the oven and you burn your mouth on it. It doesn't matter, you'll order it again tomorrow.

Dimir PizzaπŸ’§πŸ’€ is made with stolen secret recipes across the City. It's got a secret dough recipe, a secret sauce recipe, a secret seasoning, and secrets to its cooking method. It's a great slice and the couriers of the guild guarantee it delivery in 30 minutes or less.

Azorius Pizza β˜€οΈπŸ’§is a true neutral slice. They've ran studies on the maximum acceptability of a pizza per ingredient quality and have output a fine pepperoni slice with salt. Everyone likes it but no one loves it. Here's the study: pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I’ve never had more confidence that my opinions on something are 100% correct and others are wrong than I do about my opinions on Ravnican pizza #wotcstaff
