History

Structure

Guild Master Isperia has 3 arbiters who advise her.

A senate that passes laws that are largely ignored until they roll in the troops AND BEAT SOME LAW AND ORDER INTO ANYONE WHO DISAGREE's.

"Absolutely hierarchical. Most Azorius functionaries report to one superior and have two guild members that report to them, creating a pyramidal command structure."

Guild Members

Guild Masters

Grand Arbiter Augustin IV

He was Guild Master during Dissension. After he died by a spike containing the soul of his arc Nemesis shoved through him litterally ripping his soul to peices then having an airship crash into his guildhall and explode, (the Azorious senate passed so many flight restrictions after that) he was subsequently replaced by his champion Isperia the Inscrutable. who renamed herself "Drum roll please" (refer to next section).

Isperia, Supreme Judge

Isperia, Supreme Judge who moved the Azorious senate and sentenced Jace to be ruler of Ravnica as community service (BEST SENTENCE EVAR) during the Implicit Maze incident (hilarious results at court).

Azor

Azor is the parun (founder) of the Azorius. He's a sphinx and is on the plane of Ixalan for reasons involving Ugin, and is also a colossal douche. Fun Fact, a last minute change to his card was to his mana cost so it is in line with how Guild Masters are costed (double one color, double another color, and possibly more generic mana added on top).

Guild Champions

Isperia used to be champion (SEE ABOVE), although now that she's the master she has appointed Lavinia of the tenth to be her champion who basically is Ravinca's gender swapped Judge Dredd.

Mechanics

Forecast

Surprisingly this is not much of a control mechanic. This is because development told design that WU control was a bit stronger than they liked and didn't want it getting new toys. Forecast traces it's heritage to the Un-card Infernal Spawn of Evil. [1]

Detain

Blue and White are 2 of the colors most inclined to be in a control deck (and are also 2 of the most control freak color philosophy wise). Detain feels kind of control-ish (although it is actually made to not slow down the game too much). Detained permanents are unable to attack or block and can't use their activated abilities. A detainment lasts until the detainer's next turn. Detain was initially based off tapping a creature, but they decided to make it more like the card Arrest. The duration of 'till your next turn' was chosen because it was short enough to remember but long enough to matter. WotC reserves the ability to detain any non land permanent on UW gold cards. Mono-color cards are allowed to detain creatures.
