She Blinded Me With Fungus!

The Ravnica World News - That's a FACT!

The Izzet, you know them, you fear them. Too often their experiments end in fiery explosions and carnage. The Golgari, you know them, you smell them before you see them. Obsessed with death, fungus and darkness. We try to forget they are swarming under our very feet.
But this is hard when they come to the surface to cavort with Izzet researchers!
This Weekly Ravnica News exclusive can confirm that a trio of Golgari women were seeing in Precinct Four walking practically arm in arm with Izzet researchers. The group spent time in intimate conversation, enjoying lavish juice drinks from the overpriced Tuturu's Supreme Squeeze, and eventually went off together on a merry rampage not far from the Red Wastes. A rampage that ended in the deaths of innocent goblin pranksters. Was this all part of an explosive Izzet experiment, or was it all tied to a bizarre undercity mating ritual?
"I saw them Golgari just appear. At first I couldn't tell they was all women, because you knows, they had on those armor bits and slime and stuff. One had a mask on. But then, you know I got the idea they was women and they was looking for something. I told them they were confused and to go back underground, but they don't listen." a local told us for this exclusive news piece.
Concerns quickly rose, and we had to dig deeper, because you, our loyal readers expect it. We consulted a former Izzet Researcher, who preferred to go by the initials C.B. According to C.B. it is possible that the Izzet are creating a connection to the Golgari to gain access to the undercity for a reason related to their research. They could be looking for a place to build a secret, and highly dangerous lab. It could be that they are trying to sucker in naive Golgari as test subjects for a weapon the are working on. Or it could be related to a resource they can only find in the underground depths. Knowing the Golgari, it is revolting to consider what kind of "resource" could be scavenged from those very dead lands.
We also gasp in horror at the thought of some explosive laboratory being built under our beloved precinct. How many "accidents" will the Izzet guild be permitted before the Boros stop head butting each other and put a stop to it? Or maybe the Azorius could pull their heads out of their posteriors long enough to actually do something useful instead of harassing hard working journalists who just happen to be flipping threw classified documents. What does classified even mean in the scope of knowledge? This is a quest of freedom dear reader. Freedom you demand!
C.B. ended the discussion with this, "Whatever is going on there is unusual. The Golgari and Izzet have no formal relations, and to see them working closely together hints at something unique going on. I'd be interested in learning more about it." So would we all dear readers. It is why we have reporters doing their best to find out more about this unnatural union between two very divergent groups.
Next Issue , we reach out to an expert in Golgari culture to find out if these women are harvesting something else from the Izzet for bizarre biological indulgences of their own!
