	Like all of the ten guilds, the Azorius Senate appeared in the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica, a [[splatbook]] for [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]]. Here, it was handled as a combination of Background and Faction, with the player choosing the "Azorius Functionary" background to certify they have membership, and being able to earn Renown. This is a new system to 5e, and basically is a kind of abstractified experience; you start off as a general worker (Renown 1), and as you complete missions for the Guild or do things that get you noticed, your Renown increases, giving you increased abilities. Of course, if you publicly screw things up for your guild, your esteem will drop and you can ~~loose~~ Renown.

	Characters from the Azorius Senate are most likely to be [[Human]]s or [[Vedalken]]. The most iconic classes associated with this guild are the [[Bard]] (College of Lore), [[Cleric]] (Knowledge and Order [[Cleric Domain]]s), [[Fighter]] (Battle Master, Champion, [[Cavalier]], Champion, [[Gish\|Eldritch Knight]]), [[Paladin]] (Oath of Vengeance), [[Rogue]] (Inquisitive), and [[Wizard]] ([[Abjurer]], [[Diviner]], [[Enchanter]]). Theoretically, the Oath of the Crown Paladin would work too, but no subclasses from the SCAG are mentioned in the GGR.

	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 [http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?name=Arrest 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.		Blue and White are two of the colors most inclined to be in a control deck (and are also two of the most control freak color philosophy wise).
