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 was kind of disspointed in the latest innistrad block that the runo stormkirk that i opened in sealed was pretty much unusable...not only did my pool of UB not have a single creature over 5 cmc, there basically weren't even any octopus/serpents etc for him to copy if he did...
well i thought, surely he's a plant for neon dynasty...i mean kaiju are sort of a japanese trope after all. nope!
how many years am i going to have to play magic just to build my (probably still going to be a casual) leviathan deck?
kind of suffer in that it needs another modified creature to even be ok, and it wants to come out early itself...might not always be a t3 drop that always works out
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)
