it seems unlikely that either double masters 2 or Baldur's gate commander will hit arena, meaning a huge dearth of new arena releases until dominaria united. perhaps we'll see khans remastered, or something? no idea.
my thought is perhaps the different gangs will be represented by some of the seven deadly sins. sloth and lust are probably out..lust is kind of not appropriate for a game that say age 13+ on the package, while sloth might be a little too lazy to fight.
if it;s a wedge set-
wrath would obviously be WRB as one of the most violent gangs
pride as RUW maybe? prehaps the'yd be the "corrupt police, there could be a "demonic angel" leading them?
gluttony might be BGU
greed as BGW
and envy as RUG
I guess that it depends on the format. You can already pull off sea monster tribal in most non-rotating formats, though it would be casual as you claim. There’s about 5 cards that support sea monsters (one that put them out for free, one that makes them nigh-unblockable, one that bounces everything else, one that makes giant tokens, and one that makes token copies)
well the problem is that most krakens and serpents are almost always unblockable already anyway, so that's sort of useless. ominous seas just makes tokens, doesn't support krakens directly
the bounce one is fine, but he's just as good with merfolk, too. slinn voda, the rising deep
and the problem with making token copies is that most of the good choices are legendary runo stormkirk
and if we ever see cephalids again, i'd like their creature type to be just octopus.
i wish we'd gotten level up, or quests, too.
at least there isn't a +2 mace, yet.
baldurs gate, and d&d have almost nothing to do with gates, i'm not sure why they're in here.
Fear the wrath of Minsc and Boo!
i suppose some other givens here are:
legendary tricolor bosses
a mana fixng rock for each faction
some kind of guildmage for each faction
split cards maybe (like showing WG on one half and RG
on the other (i mean there's no dfc's so split cards are a possiblity)
