Skeletons letting you venture when they die is cute.

Interestingly so did I.

Wow, Orcus in Rakdos colors. I think Asmodeus will be Orzov then.

How is Planar Ally not an Angel Ally?

Orcus is interesting. I guess he wants to be in a deck full of cheap creatures in the 0-2 mana range, so you can either reanimate a bunch of them or buff them all to colossal size. Super mana hungry though.

Black/red seems pretty fitting for D&D demons in MTG to me. Red for the chaotic, black for the evil (not that black is necessarily evil in MTF, but it is egoistic, which evil in D&D also is.) Devils I could see as either white/black or blue/black, given that order is something white and blue share. But I think white/black is the more likely direction.

Rakdos ≈ Chsotic Evil
Orzhov ≈ Lawful Evil
Dimir ≈ Neutral Evil
Golgari ≈ True Neutral

?

Ish?

If we’re talking about the actual guilds, I think Dimir are far too rigidly structured to be considered neutral evil. They’re just a different flavor of lawful evil than Orzhov. And I think Golgari are far too sinister to count as true neutral; definitely neutral evil in my opinion. If we’re talking just about the color combinations, I think they all cover too broad a conceptual space to fall under one alignment. You might as well map the zodiac signs to the five colors, or assign alignments to MBTI types.

This seemed not unreasonable to me as a start... Loreley Writes - Color Pie Friday : Aligning the Colors

It's a bit restrictive. For example, some of the Black cards (like Yaheeni) aren't evil.

“Zariel, Archduke of Avernus” is the red planeswalker. I’m not too up on FR lore, but she’s a devil, right?
