Ooh... me likes.
Plus you have an excuse to use both versions of Akroma when Saber gets tainted by the Grail's black mana to turn into ... Red Saber?!
Phage could possibly make for a good 'Angra' substitute.
When I have some free time, I'll look up the Magic legend index and see who would make good candidates for the seven main classes.
I have a small list myself. Here:
SABER:
-Akroma
This would be the White version - the red one uses a spear. Also note that she's technically an Illusion Angel, having been created by Ixidor as a simulacrum of his dead lover, and Illusions can turn into any creature type they want, if only temporarily. Plus, having been part of Karona, she may have retained part of the 'human side' that Zagorka was in Karona.
-Kamahl
In both his green 'Fist of Krosa' and red 'Pit Fighter' version, Kamahl uses a sword. In both cases he's the canon owner of the Mirari sword, which would be a frightfully powerful Noble Phantasm, being essentially a Grail itself.
-Gayrard... er, Gerrard Capashen
WHY you'd want to use the gayest Magic main ever is beyond me, but he's there.
-Most legendary Samurai from Kamigawa
Self explanatory.
-Gabriel Angelfire
Note that Gabriel is a HUMAN, not an angel - but his mother was allegedly one of the desert Bird Maidens, so he has wings like his mother does. He founded the Order of Angelfire, and was known as a ferocious air warrior during the Dark Ages.
CASTER:
-Chainer, Braids, Skellum
All three are Dementia masters, and very good at what they do, which is to cast summoning spells to unleash horrors from deep within their minds.
-Ixidor
Akroma's creator, a Reality Sculptor who mastered the art of illusion and shapeshifting. Could be a major mindfuck if Akroma somehow got memories of her master, and was opposed to him.
-Arcanis the Omnipotent
Not sure about his backstory, but he was powerful enough to tear the veil between different realities.
-Savra, Szadek
Two of the more magic oriented Guildmasters of Ravnica. Savra is part Dark Elf, while Szadek is a vampire, though.
-Latulla
The Keldon overseer from Prophecy specialized in destructive magic - she was a walking Fireball.
-Heidar
The Rimewind master who engineered the artificial Ice Age that enveloped terisiare and all of Dominaria during the Coldsnap events.
LANCER:
-Akroma
Red version, the Angel of Fury. Not as cheesy as the original white (who would make Heracles blush as far as being hard to kill goes), but still plenty tough.
-Jerrard of the Closed Fist
A VERY ancient Legend who supposedly founded Pendelhaven, one of the few places where people of all races could live in harmony.
-Tivadar of Thorn
An ancient Dark Ages warrior who started a crusade to exterminate goblins before the Sarpadian era. He was equally proficient with all weapons, but had a predilection for the spear - better to skewer a goblin carcass with, he said. :sweat2:
ARCHER:
-Tor Wauki
The "Bandit King" of legend, said to be able to shoot an airborne dragon in the eye from two hundred paces away.
-Taaveti of Kelsinko
An Elvish ranger known throughout Terisiare as one of the bravest explorers in Dominaria. Killed by Heidar during the Rimewind cold wave.
-Lady Caleria
A Femeref lady archer from the Legends expansion. Credited with founding the Granger guild.
-Tolsimir Wolfblood
An Elvish champion of the Selesnyia guild, always seen riding his faithful companion, the giant grey wolf Woja. As a Silhana bow master, he was so skilled, it was said he took aim using maps.
RIDER:
-Tolsimir Wolfblood
Since he rode the giant wolf Woja, he counts as Rider too.
-Sivitri Scarzam
One of the most feared figures of the Dark Ages, she was a savage woman who had tamed a dragon to be her steed, and who often would clash with Sol'Kanar the Swamp King, an elemental corrupted into the form of a demon living in a remote Corondor swamp.
-Arna Kennerud
A Skycaptain of Kjeldor, who rode a giant birdlike creature called an AEsthir. He was legendary throughout the Ice Age for being a peerless warrior with no fear, often engaging even overwhelmingly stronger opponents for the glory of Kjeldor.
-Darien
The King of Kjeldor, who unified Terisiare after the Ice Age ended. He was a brave king who'd always ride in the front of his army, unmindful of personal danger, and would rally his men and raise morale, helping them stand firm in the face of danger.
-MÓrton Stromgald
Leader of the Stromgald Knights. Said to be a fierce warrior whose sheer ferocity in battle made even the bravest warrior pause before engaging him.
BERSERKER:
-Kamahl
While under the Mirari's influence, he was known for violent fits of rage during which he'd randomly attack and kill anyone who strayed too close. Fits both berserker and Saber.
-Lovisa Coldeyes
While she was a sharp and calculating woman when it came to devising battle strategies, Lovisa was also infamous for becoming entangled in a terrifying battle frenzy when she engaged Orcs, whom she hated especially. The fact she could swing a two-handed battleaxe with just one hand during those bouts of blood frenzy only added to her legendary status, and she's still talked of in the Terisiare area by the few survivors among the barbarians after the Time Spiral incident.
-Marhault Elsdragon
An Elf Berserker. Rather rare, since his race isn't known for going into frenzied rages.
-Radha
A half-Elf, half-Keldon Skyshroud denizen. While her features are elven, her temper is undeniably keldon, and it can be summed up in 'endless rage'.
-Sek'kuar
An Orc shaman who was so violent and cruel, he once burned all his followers in a giant funeral pyre in a fit of rage. He was also so feared, his followers rose again to serve him after death.
-Crovax of Urborg
His fits of rage are well documented throughout the Stronghold expansion. This Urborg nobleman would grow stronger if angered, though, to the point that he could match or exceed a Hill Giant's strength. Particularly impressive is the time when he grew so enraged at a shapeshifter mimicking Sisay that he tore it apart with his bare hands in an uncontrollable bout of berserker fury. Even his comrades were scared of him after that.
-Maraxus of Keld
A Keldon Warlord. To a Keldon, being a berserker is a fact of life. Nuff said.
-Borborygmos
A Cyclops, and the Gruul guild headmaster... if you can call it that. The Gruul live by one rule: Might makes right. By that rule alone, Borborygmos was chosen as leader, but he's more of a 'Crush them!' type than a leader.
ASSASSIN:
(Note: finding Assassin Legends in Magic is hard, as those individuals tend to, well... not advertise their ability. As such, I'm only looking at cards with a 'kill this or that creature' effect.)
-Phage the Untouchable
Her mere touch killed, and she was particularly fond of slowly torturing her enemies to death... nuff said.
-Visara the Dreadful
First off, she's a Gorgon, so she falls in the same category as Rider. Secondly, unlike Rider, she killed by trade, being a pit fighter, and wasn't shy about murdering opponents before a match even began.
-Gwendlyn di Corci
The only one who can be considered a true assassin in the whole lot, an ancient Urborg noblewoman who became infamous in history for seducing her enemies and then gutting them when they had, literally, their pants down. She apparently believed in the adage 'if you want something done well, do it yourself'.
That's... about it for now.
