I think I want the characters and allies to have sort of a punk version of an ravnica/kaladash vibe going on. magic and technology city but people subverting secruity protocols and seed bombing and the like.

Thought: flatten the destinction between allies(our version of creatures) and players. It made more sense for there to be a sense of separation when we were thinking of this in terms of a noble court but if you're just some guys, gals, and non-binary pals working on your version of what you think would be a better world that separation may not make as much sense?

Consequence of this could be, if someone concedes/leaves the game they aren't removed or anything they are just relegated to being another Ally option.
