For the most part, it's about concepts. House Dimir is detached yet participates as a part of a large community. Let's just say I never was, nor am a person who likes crowds.

That being said, Azorius holds law like it's morality, so I don't agree with them. Izzet is almost homocidal, and I don't care about Simic and evolution. Orzhov goes against my beliefs, and Gruul is just... Izzet without brains, but with brawn.

Now that I'm done explaining why I didn't join another guild, what appeals to me about House Dimir conceptually is the fact that I have tons of freedom within the guild, with some orders from time to time, and the work I perform IS my reward - I often get to use my results as well, which is nice. Only my work (gleaning secrets) endagers me, since the only reason House Dimir has to kill me is if I tell someone something they shouldn't know and they get wind of it. Almost every guild has dangerous work though, such as Boros, Rakdos, even Selesnya missionaries have difficulties.

Outside of being a secret agent every so once and a while, I get to be myself, or whoever I shapeshift into. To me, it's a world of freedom, somewhat visible results, and a load of "did you know?" factoids that I love.
