    Interesting! As a more veteran player who seems to have a firm grounding in law in real life, I totally had you pegged as Azorius and/or Esper.
    I do a weird mix.  Azorius and Esper can be super fun but they're also structurally predictable.

    Metaphor-wise: The full-plate armored paladin wielding a warhammer + tower shield is a formidable tank.  But I'd much rather be a battle mage wielding 2 swords, with my only defense being able to dodge.  Yeah combat-wise I'm considerably more vulnerable if they can hit me, but the real battle is going to be waged in my opponent's head where I'm at also at a disadvantage, yet it's much more fun to fight there :)

    I'm curious now, what would your colors be?  I'll PM this to you so we don't go too far off topic :)

    All the new PWs look like they could benefit from a Loyalty-heavy strategy with Reliquary Tower, though some may require a bit more help/luck than others.
    Bolas2: build to a quick flip, then abuse his side-2 shenanigans
    Ajani3: add some discard, the get things out for free
    Liliana4: abuse her own discard, then dig things up when you have a black match ready
    Sarkhan2: make lots of dragons
    Tezzeret3: thopter spam and free stuff
    Vivien: zoo deck strategy - pull up cheap creatures, fill 2nd half of mana with a single swap.  Make them big and scary murderbeasts.  
      
    DOM:
    Karn: Dig through and un-exile cheaper things that can be cast in one turn.  Or make a bunch of bots.
    Jaya: Free spells all day long
    Teferi: Ultimate lockdown denial, extra swaps as needed to actually cast something.

    RIX:
    Angrath: discard denial abuse.  Needs cheaper 1-match cast cards.
    Huatli2: cheaper (1-match cast) creatures to power up the draw/mana engine every turn.  White vamp tokens can already do this without the "help" of Reliquary tower.

    Arch of Orazca already does all of that for the planeswalkers listed both cheaply and without sucking one dry of mana and still get cards
