Lord of the rings wild theories

Something
Also I like the fact that the overlapping two color pairs bridge the three colors who are united. (or in Saruman and the Elves case, think they are still united.)
i.e:
Elves and Saruman conferring. The color pair of Wizards, Ringbearers, Wise Dudes.
Saruman calling his bro Sauron with the Palantir phone
Sauron wrangling the wild goblins to his will, the color pair that contains most Orcs and Goblins as a whole.
I have no clue lol. Goblins accidently helping humans? The wild creatures of middle earth?
The age old alliance between elves and men.
Still, I'd be good with however they choose to do the set, just thought I'd share some of my random thoughts on it. I'm excited to see what ends up happening.
Saruman's forces, Isengard.
Sauron's forces, Mordor
Goblins of the Misty Mountains/Moria?
Men of the West
Elves of Rivendell and Mirkwood
un I was musing about today, I suspect the LOTR set will use the regular 10 two color draft archetypes, but I did notice that if you squint, the Alara shards seem to line up pretty well for LOTR, imho. I doubt that Wotc would do a three color set so soon after New Capenna, but this stood out to me as fascinating. Again, I don't think it's likely to happen for good reason, but it is interesting that the factions seem to fit fairly well into these three colors. I don't know, but I especially like the idea of Saruman's faction being Esper, as it shows that he's still trying to fake being a good guy wise wizard on the outside, but going full schemer in reality.
