    Ravnica, a plane covered entirely by city-scape and governed by ten guilds, bound together by the living Guildpact, Niv-Mizzet, a mighty dragon avatar made of mizzium and crystal. All too recently this ecumenopolis played host to a devastating war brought on by the machinations of the Elder Dragon Planeswalker Nicol Bolas. Though defeated, the ancient villain’s impact was still felt even as a new cosmic threat streaked across the sky in the form of a comet. In the city below, three Planeswalkers, Masters of their Guilds, set about their day.

      I mean, I highly doubt Dimir in its entirety has fallen. It's a conspiracy whose membership is burrowed deep into the fabric of Ravnican society. Agents in every guild, and everywhere else. (Not to mention what are probably countless members that, after the guild's public reveal about a century before current events, exist as part of House Dimir's public face as messengers, investigators, and archivists). Many of these people likely remain, insulated as they are through levels of secrecy, each agent only knowing their handlers, if anything at all.
      What House Dimir may have lost is its overall leadership. The spider(s) sitting at the center of this web, receiving all data and issuing all commands. Setting the guild's overall agenda. House Dimir members will likely continue carrying out their last orders. Many may not even be aware they're part of the conspiracy (like all those public facing people mentioned previously, who think they're exactly what they say they are). But without direction, the conspiracy as a whole may fall into disarray. Or worse, come under the thumb of new agents, looking to usurp the network for their own ends.
      Of course, given House Dimir's nature, it's likely this has happened many times before over the Guildpact's 10,000 year history.

    I highly doubt that Dimir is gone but it's always good to see what will influence upcoming sets.
