Editing Selesnya Conclave (section)

==Villians or not?==
Compared to the other guilds of Ravnica, they are no more or less villianous compared to the other guilds even when taking into account brainwashing schemes (the other guilds, Dimir and Orzhov particularly, would not hesitate to do such a thing), as the creation of the guild system itself could be seen as an unjust act or mistake that inevitably results in tyranny. 
What sets the Selesnya apart from the other guilds is that they do not actively disdain or ignore the citizens of Ravnica, but instead care about keeping them safe and able to live in a peaceful community. The other guilds certainly do not have this as their goal. 
::The Azorious only care about maintaining the status quo, which is them being THE Authority, and writing laws that restrict and strangulate change. 
::The Boros are essentially the military arm of the Azorious and the guildpact, too hidebound to see the injustices of overreaching law in spite of their passion for justice. 
::The Rakdos only care about their hedonism, murdering people for laughs, and their demon worship. 
::The Dimir care only for being on top from the shadows, masterminding and manipulating conspiracies, and blackmailing or murdering any dissenters.
::The Simic care only for playing God with science and biology. Consequences (and lives ruined through "improvement") be damned, as only they know better than anyone else (they especially know better than the last guy who tried before them).
::The Izzet are a cult of personality for an eccentric dragon scientist who cares little for collateral damage. 
::The Gruul are angry, hurt, and truthfully wronged outcasts and anarchists that do not care about who they hurt in their rage against the system. 
::The Golgari are often-malevolent necromancers and criminals who live apart from the rest of Ravnica in what is essentially their own dog-eat-dog society with a disturbing emphasis on "recycling". 
::The Orzhov are an odiously corrupt farce of a religion, being essentially a scientologist-like cult crossbred with a ruthless mafia that will hound you to the afterlife itself with payday-loan shark debts.
In comparison to these often malevolent secret/not-so-secret societies, the Selesnya are practically saints. In essence, the Selesnya function as a mutual defense pact against all these crazy people serving actual demons, Illuminati-vampires, mafia-boss ghosts, dragons, mad scientists, necromancers, and petty tyrannical bureaucrats. Not to mention that the Selesnya Conclave is the only non-malevolent source of spirituality that we know about on Ravnica. In the end, is it really so bad to be in a spiritual and naturalistic community that truly takes care of all of its own? Because that is the question that the guildless citizens of Ravnica have to ask themselves, is it worth being on their own, free and yet at the mercy of the other guilds, having only the indelicate and blind protection of the law to safeguard them and being unable to deliver retribution? The Selesnya Conclave offers safety and community against the lawful lawlessness of the other guilds, being one of the few guilds not made up of crazy people, criminals, wicked sadists, or amoral wannabe-Übermensches certainly helps too.
