Although maybe the guilds will offer the choice of background features while allowing renown and guild spells access still. Like maybe Orzhov not only allows Orzhov Representive background feature,  but also Criminal,  Acolyte,  Bounty Hunter,  Noble,  Pirate,  and so on,  while still getting guild spells and renown.  Honestly I think Background and Faction should be separate things. Background is well about your background before you became and adventurer,  and Faction is about right now.  Honestly I would treat renown like a spendable resource you use to buy ranks in an organization. You could spend it all in one organization and rise high and quickly  or you could rise slower in multiple organizations that aren't opposed to each other, like multifactioning instead of just multiclassing. But alas they didn't go in that direction. If I was DMing a none AL Ravnica game the first house rule I'd do is that each character can choose a Faction and a regular background, one represents the future and present, the other represents your past, where you came from before you joined a guild. And one thing Ari said about not being born into a guild is mostly true, but Orzhov has noble families which people are born into and gain magic from. But technique they could decide they don't want to properly join Orzhov when they become adults.</blockquote>
