Orzhova, the Church of Deals

Orzhova, the Church of Deals originally appeared in the 2006 Guildpact expansion as a land card representing the seat of power for the Orzhov Syndicate, one of the ten distinct guilds of the Ravnica plane. Designed to reflect the flavor of a gothic, profit-driven religious organization, the card was illustrated by Greg Staples, who utilized a dark, imposing aesthetic to convey the oppressive authority of the church. Mechanically, it functions as a mana-producing land that can also serve as a late-game utility source, mirroring the Syndicate's philosophy of leveraging resources for incremental advantage.

This specific version of the card is a selection for The List, a curated subset of reprints from Magic: The Gathering history that appears in Set Boosters. By including iconic or atmospheric cards from the game's past, Wizards of the Coast allows players to encounter older designs within modern product packaging. The inclusion of Orzhova in The List serves both as a nod to the enduring popularity of the original Ravnica setting and as a way to maintain the availability of utility lands that remain relevant in various casual and competitive formats.
