Does anyone else have trouble remembering Abzan, Bant, and Sultai? (lemmy.world)

The other seven three color pairs are easy for me

Mardu is war

Naya is big monsters

Jeskai is USA

Jund is the food chain

Grixis is Bad guys

Temur is grow fast

Esper is sneak and connive

But the other three have no imagery/association to me. I'd be curious if anyone has an association for them similar to what I've listed here.

First three letters of Abzan are a,b, then z. Then a again. Like a life cycle. You're born, you grow, you die, then you get resurrected by one of Abzan's many graveyard tricks.

Bant is like "banter", like friends do. It's the friendly colours of white, blue, and green. It helps that my group hug and pillow fort decks are both bant to help me glue that association together.

Sultai starts with an "S", hissing like a snake. Vraska has snake hair and she's green/black, but sultai also follows the S with a U to remind you blue is in there.
