I imagined Renekton being Obelisk, Nasus is more similar to Slifer because of the weakening effect and I saw Azir as Ra considering the appearence but Xerath would indeed be a better fit since he resembles the Phoenix mode a bit 🤔. Perhaps the summoning chant will be written in shuriman on the card... or will be automatically played when he becomes Lv3. Or even better, Lv1 - Sphere mode; Lv2- Ra mode ; Lv3- Phoenix mode 😃
