Wizards Makes a Fighting Game: What's Your MTG Roster?

[FenrirRex]

So, we're seeing Magic branch out into a rather remarkable array of genres and crossovers. We've got a Diablo clone in the works, we've seen puzzle games, and the sky is the limit with the upcoming Universes Beyond. So, let's assume the inevitable: we'll get an MTG fighting game eventually.

Taking this assumption, I am wildly curious what the starting roster people would want or expect to see in such a thing. Personally, I imagine it split into mono-colored entities with a mixture of legendary creatures and planeswalkers with a solid mixture of "good" and "evil" aligned individuals- mostly "human" sized entitites with a couple of big-bodied fighters for flavor, pulled largely from the most popular planes (I.E. Dominaria, Mirrodin/New Phyrexia, etc.), or due to their popularity. I see something like the following characters, including their approximate playstyle or gimmick.

:
Gerrard Capashen (Simple Moveset, the Ryu of the Game)
Elspeth Tirel (Weapon-Based, Aggressive)
Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite (Debuffing, Counter-Based)

:
Ixidor, Reality Sculptor (Minion-Based Zoner)
Tezzeret the Seeker (Midrange Specialist)
Baral, Chief of Compliance (Up-Close, Defensive)

:
Chainer, Dementia Master (Mid and Close Zoning)
Sorin Markov (Vampiric Healing Gimmick)
Volrath the Fallen (Shapeshifting Stance-Change)

:
Kamahl, Pit Fighter (Hyper Aggressive)
Chandra Nalaar (Fast, Decent Zoning)
Neheb, the Eternal (Building Fire Attack Meter)

:
Ezuri, Renegade Leader (Elf Assist Moves)
Vivien Reid (Building Summon Meter)
Vorinclex, Monstrous Raider (Grappler)

Tergrid, God of Fright as the puppet character. Basically the same as Zato-1, but the shadow summon depletes her HP/super meter instead of having its own health bar.

A fighting game?

The Wanderer, I guess. Gerrard might be the Ryo of the game, but the Wanderer looks like the Haohmaru of the game...
