Murmuring Mystic by Mark Winters

The Murmuring Mystic might be insane, talking to themselves as they wander the streets of Ravnica, the voices in their head the rumours of countless random lives. It would be hard not to try and reply, and even harder still to keep secret.Perhaps the Mystics innate power resembles Shizophrenia, and like many individuals with mental health issues he may be homeless. This can make finding the Murmuring Mystic difficult in that they constantly move, but easy in that people will notice them as they travel.

Interested Parties

The guilds of Ravnica would likely consider using the Mystic to various ends. While the card itself is blue, meaning it would fit better into Azorius, Dimir, Izzet, and Simic, its possible the other guilds may have machinations against or involving the Mystic. Player characters may, as a party, encounter or be tasked in locating the Mystic, with their own guilds having different intentions for the target. A few of the more guilds likely to be interested are:

Azorius - The Lyev Column of the Azorius Senate could use the Mystic in their information gathering, or they could want the Mystic serving as a variant Precognitive/Lawmage mage.

Dimir - The Mystic would likely be a high priority target for recruitment for the Dimir. The birds in some aspects resemble the Thought Strands used by the guild. If they could turn their strands into birds, they would become even more useful in the future. If nothing else, the Mystics powers shouldn't fall into another guilds hands as it may provide insights on how the Thought Strands work.

Izzet - Likely would want to capture the Mystic for study, try and determine how their magic works in hopes of replicating or improving it. How cool would it be if we could make the birds explode!?

Orzhov - Rumours are just as useful as facts in the right hands, and that makes the Mystic worth something to the Orzhov. They would likely want to capture the Mystic and use the rumours they collect for the Orzhov's own ends.

Simic - While illusions and human spellcasting might not be the Simic's bread-and-butter, they might want to use the Mystics instinctive spellcasting as a potential tool for future projects. If nothing else, the Crypsis Project could use the Mystic for intelligence gathering.
