Does anyone else have trouble remembering Abzan, Bant, and Sultai? (lemmy.world)

The other seven three color pairs are easy for me

Mardu is war

Naya is big monsters

Jeskai is USA

Jund is the food chain

Grixis is Bad guys

Temur is grow fast

Esper is sneak and connive

But the other three have no imagery/association to me. I'd be curious if anyone has an association for them similar to what I've listed here.

This is so interesting, thinking about it now I’ve never associated the wedges or shards with themes or qualities, just individual representative cards or decks I guess.

Bant is Noble Hierarch for me, and Abzan/Junk is Seige Rhino. Esper is Raffine, Jeskai is Narset, RUG/Temur I think of RUG Delver. Grixis is Mishra or Nicol Bolas.

Sultai I still always call BUG and will forever. I always think of Shardless BUG from Legacy a while ago, and I guess this one is the exception because I think of actual bugs too.

BUG is actually a really helpful association! Thats Sultai down at least.
