I am making a character for a ravnica campaign that I am helping to organize and am trying to make someone from the Orzhov Syndicate but actually from House dimir and am not sure what class\subclass to be. I am fine with homebrew's and I was thinking phantom rogue to be kinda like kaya (she is from mtg by the way) as someone who tracks down ghosts that have not payed their debts to either kill them or capture them but am not sure. The character is a changling because it was the closest thing to lavaz. Please help.
Changeling Rogue Inquisitive would be good too. Good for tracking down people as part of your bounty hunter cover for the Syndicate, and also good investigation skills for your corporate espionage job as an Agent of House Dimir.

I think you really have everything you need, story wise you could say:
Formative years spent with House Dimir being trained as an Operative (gain the Dimir Operative background from the Guildmasters Guld to Ravnica book, if you dont have it, use the Charlatan background). When your more nefarious tendencies and changeling nature became apparent (you gaining level 1 Rogue) an operative form House Dimir recruited you and as you honed your skills (gained level 2 Rogue) they decided where to place you. For reasons never explained to you House Orzov had recently become an annoyance and they placed you within the ranks of their trainees. Whilst attending to your covert spying activities you drew the attention of a sect within House Orzov that were training to mimic the abilities of the noted planeswalker Kaya. As they regarded you as some sort of protege you were eagerly brought into their ranks and taught the basics (level 3 rogue/phantom subclass). You now venture throghout Ravnica hunting ghosts and laying the restless to rest, all the whilst passing information bck to your friends in House Dimir.
Subclass wise, might be worth switching the damage dealt by the phantom subclass from necrotic to radiant as ghosts are immune to necrotic damage.
It could be worth having the magic initiate feat to get some of the Dimir guild spells (Encode Thoughts and Mage Hand as cantrips and Disguise Self or Sleep x1/LR) this would aid in leaving messages for your Dimir contacts to find. Aside from normal ASi's other feats that might be useful: Alert (it means you can't be surprised), Fey Touched (it gives you a free Misty Step and you could get either a free Hex or Hunters mark as well), Fighting Initiate (to get two weapon fighting).

Kaya's more of an Order of the Ghostslayer Blood Hunter than a Phantom.
I have a weird sense of humor.
I also make maps.(That's a link)
Having a look through the class, there is also the case for her to be a Ranger/Horizon Walker.
Okay thanks
