Rakdos - Aww, but they're fun!

Gruul - A fair point, but it's more that they're resentful towards the society that shunned them. I sympathize.

Boros - Craftsman? What's this about the Boros being craftsmen? We only make our own weapons because of personal attachment, and that's not really a part of the vast majority of the guild. And "just like a paladin but with less concern for the law" sounds like exactly what the Boros want - spirit of the law (protecting people and punishing wrongdoers) over the letter of the law (which is an Azorius thing).

Izzet - I think you need to give the Izzet a bit more credit. They're out there to learn as much as possible by experimenting and trying new things and running experiments that no one has run before. Kinda exciting, if you ask me.

Orzhov - The Orzhov DO have a god of a sort. YOU are your own god, the one deity to which you owe anything.

Golgari - Recycling is nice, but being the wannabe rulers of the surface when you're a bunch of rot is contradictory considering that you're getting most of your guild members from the surface. [Wants to run the city when it'd lose all business]

Azorius - These guys are too stiff-necked for my taste. Plus in a bureaucracy that thick, there's too much opportunity for corruption. That's one of the reasons I like the Boros - do something wrong, you get burned appropriately. Doesn't matter what you're in charge of.

Selesnya - No freedom =/= no-go for me.

Simic - Not always a experiment. Remember that both blue and green love making things better; their emphasis is on making you the best that you can be, even if that means grafting additional parts onto you.

Dimir - Fair enough, I suppose. It's the theme of mental warfare that disturbs me the most about them. Swords are weapons; memories are not. I think you're forgetting, though, that they have to be able to implant false information as well as strip what shouldn't be there. You'll never know whether or not what you remember actually happened.

Everyone likes informationl that's why the Dimir have such a good market for it. And everyone can mill about freely; Boros just believe in having buddies with you for the same reasons that modern military folk stick together - its more camaraderie and having bonded together over shared experiences than any kind of need for protection.
