Find myself wondering how that'd balance out colorwise. Air and water are traditionally blue related, earth is green, fire red... so we're left with white and black kinda empty handed. Bloodbending I guess goes black but even with that...
I think Air would have to become White. Black doesn't really fit at all in Avatar, that one would be curious to see how they fit in.
@mike @Stern I expect air would be white and Spirit would be black
Yea that's pretty cool actually
I could see technology as being black, a la how Korra treated technology vs spirits in its final arc.
White doesn't really fit the air nomads (Except Tenzin). White is about law and rigidity, which is more fire nation and earth kingdom than air nomads.
I could see wedges perhaps. Mardu fire nation? Temur air nomads? Abzan earth kingdom? Sultai water tribes?
That leaves Jeskai for spirits? Or whatever other tribe
Hama might be Sultai
Aang is 5C on at least one mythic
Amon is Esper
Zaheer is Mardu
I've been thinking about this more. Would Aang then have to be {W}{U}{R}{G} or would there be 4 different versions of Aang?
I could see it going a few ways, either two (or more?) cards, for kid Aang and for Avatar powers unlocked Aang (Considering the LotR set had several versions of some folks, it does make sense.), some sort of Saga type thing, or a DFC in some way. If he did have a casting cost for Avatar Aang, I think 5 color would get chosen over the more thematically appropriate four... though I'm very good at being proven wrong.
