Cards in Ravnica Allegiance that belong to the other (GRN) guilds
Boros: Angelic Exaltation Archway Angel? (Typically, Gate cards are purposefully unaligned or belong to the sort of eleventh faction, the "Gateless," but her white-and-red outfit and the prevalence of armored angels in Boros leans me towards Boros. See Gates Ablaze as a Gates-mechanic card tied to a guild)
Conclusion: If you were looking at the spoiler and it felt like the GRN guilds were represented more than you expected, it wasn't just your imagination. Dimir and Golgari were especially spotlighted.
Not sure why. I think it's good to have reminders that the other five non-spotlighted guilds are still around, but one would expect more consistency among numbers--not zero (Simic) or one appearance for some (Selesnya, Orzhov) and 5-6 for others (Dimir, Golgari).
