Human
The largest group in Ravnica, humans comprise the majority of the Gateless, those residents of the world who are unaffiliated with the ruling guilds. Their lack of innate preference for one type of magic over another means that humans can be found in every Guild— of course, that same variability means humans can barely agree on anything as a group. The constant flux of Ravnican migration and economic chaos ensures that humans from all across the city-world are in constant motion, settling and resettling as jobs open and close.
(A side note: Human is not the same thing as Caucasian. Please keep this in mind.)
Found in: Every guild, but particularly Azorius and Orzhov
Goblin
Unfortunately, the idiocy of goblins has become almost memetic in Ravnica; a rather unfair stereotype, given the sizable progresses their race has made for the world. Goblin technological innovation varies widely from the astonishing, to the intriguing, to the absurd. Their innovation can be attributed to their reckless disregard for danger and property damage, insatiable curiosity, and a focused, if skewed, outlook on life. These, when combined with an average goblin attention span (which is quite short) and an average goblin temper (which, if anything, is shorter,) make for entertaining and welcoming, if somewhat hazardous, communities. They tend to stand at half a human's height, with skin tinted gray or green.
Found in: Izzet, Boros, and Rakdos
Dryad
As beings born from trees, dryads have a natural affinity for green magic, as well as several unique perspectives on the domination of urban life in Ravnica. Their lifespans are significantly augmented, particularly compared to their human or elfin companions; dryads are capable of surviving for as long as their tree stands, and the death of one will result in the slow shriveling of the other. Despite their long life, there are relatively few dryads on Ravnica as they are quite slow to reproduce and the establishment of a new grove can take decades.
