	Like their fellows in the [[Simic Combine]], there's a stark difference in the roles open to members of the Izzet League depending on whether or not they can cast spells. Unlike the Combine, though, higher ranks don't require magical abilities to access.

	::You've proven yourself smart enough (or at least lucky enough) to be entrusted with access to the League's experimental [[magitek]] engineering facilities with acceptable risk of killing yourself. You can access a lab's resources for your experiments, request the aid of 1d4 lowly attendants (commoners) for use in your experiments or missions, and can build a Mizzium Apparatus with access to an Izzet workshop, 10 days of downtime, and, for replacements, a 50GP fine.		::You've proven yourself smart enough (or at least lucky enough) to be entrusted with access to the League's experimental [[magitek]] engineering facilities with acceptable risk of killing yourself.

	The dragon Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind has ruled over the Izzet since the inception of the guild at the founding of the Guildpact, where he served as one of the ten Paruns who ratified the document. He is extremely intelligent, charismatic, powerful, ~~caprcious~~, demanding and very, very vain. In this sense he embodies the values of the Izzet (which he named after himself, of course) perfectly: his intelligence and thirst for knowledge combined with his destructive power makes him all the Izzet are in one very large and scaled body. The dragon's relationship with [[Planeswalker]]s is unknown: he unwittingly has [[Ral Zarek\|one in his employ]], but he could not Planeswalk himself despite his vast intelligence and it is unknown if he even knew about the other planes at all.

	He is also one of the oldest creatures on Ravnica, being at least 15,000 years old. As the millennia went on he appeared less and less in public, eventually retreating into privacy about 7500 years after the founding of the Pact. Just after the Decamillennial, the ten thousandth anniversary of the Guildpact he appeared again to fight against the Nephillim, the [[Cthulhu\|Old Gods]] of Ravnica. They injured him and the Firemind retreated towards the north pole, claiming "he was bored of the fight". After this he was never seen again, and many thought he had vanished for good.

A mechanic reminiscent of 2 other mechanics, flashback and retrace. A card with Jump-Start can be cast it from your graveyard (like flashback and retrace). You have to discard a card to cast a card with Jump-Start/retrace from your graveyard (although retrace requires the discarded card to be a land where as any card type can be used with Jump-Start). After you cast the Jump-Start/Flashback card from your graveyard using the mechanic, it goes into exile after it is countered or resolves.

	Like all of the ten guilds, the Izzet League 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 "Izzet Engineer" 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 Izzet League are most likely to be [[Human]]s, [[Goblin]]s and [[Vedalken]]. The most iconic classes associated with this guild are [[Fighter]] ([[Gish\|Eldritch Knight]]), [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)\|Sorcerer]] (Draconic Bloodline, Storm Sorcery, [[Wild Mage\|Wild Magic]]) and [[Wizard]] ([[Conjurer]], [[Evoker]], [[Transmuter]]).

			===Niv-Mizzet===
			Niv-Mizzet himself also got statted out for the Guildmaster's Guide (before he became Living Guildpact, that is). As it is, he's a CR 26 Gargantuan Dragon, ability scores ranging from 14 dexterity to 30 intelligence and the spellcasting ability of a level 20 Wizard, plus a helping of other abilities. Also, his Fire Breath is stronger than that of an Ancient Red Dragon.

	Niv-Mizzet appears on four cards. His first two iterations, a 4/4 and a 5/5 with flying, both cost 2UURR. Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind deals 1 damage to a creature or player whenever you draw a card, and you can draw for 1 when you tap him. Niv-Mizzet, Dracogenius has you draw a card whenever it deals damage to a player and can ping a creature or player for 1 when you pay UR. His third iteration as Niv-Mizzet, Parun ups the colored man commitment to UUURRR for another 5/5 flyer who draws you a card whenever any player casts an instant or sorcery and pings any target for one when you draw. This means that Niv-Mizzet combos with himself, which makes perfect sense given Niv-Mizzet's vanity: ping a player for 1 with the Dracogenius, draw a card, then ping for another 1 with the Firemind.

	His latest incarnation from War of the Spark is a marked departure from all of the other Niv-Mizzet cards. With a casting cost of [[WUBRG]], this version of him represents him embracing the powers of the Guildpact ~~from Ral Zarek~~ and ascending into a greater being to fight [[Nicol Bolas\|Nicky B]]. He's a 6/6 Dragon Avatar with flying. When he enters the battlefield, you get to sift through the top ten cards of your deck, and put any cards with a unique color pair into your hand.

	Niv-Mizzet had not vanished for good, however, and after the reinstatement of a new but non-magically empowered Guildpact he signed it on behalf of the Izzet. After his return he began to fervently research the Implicit Maze, and ordered Ral Zarek to investigate the leylines and streets of Ravnica. After his investigations were done Niv-Mizzet announced his findings to the rest of the city and started the run for the Implicit Maze.
