My entry to: The Episode Challenge: Unveiling the Secret Collector’s Aspect of Conclave Arcana

Hello everyone, this time I will be participating in @thepeoplesguild's latest challenge, which is to predict, speculate, and design what you think (or hope) this collector’s Conclave Arcana (new expansion) aspect could be.
Without further ado, even if it's not for the Conclave Arcana packs, I really hope this gets implemented, sooner o later :
RETRAINED CARDS
Term used in Yugioh to describe a monster that has been reprinted with a new effect and slightly different name, but with basically the same stats and appearance as well.
That being said, it would be pretty cool to redesign the alpha and beta cards into a better version, as they were the first expansions, their abilities/stats are not that great compared to the new cards, which are usually much better.
Some examples of cards that are currently "weak" and not used:
I designed this Rexxie last year (post),using Rebellion's art as inspiration, I only increased his attack power by +1, and the signficant change was his abilities, adding two that I think pair perfectly with Rexxie. The image of Rexxie I used is from his alternate skin, which is no longer available.
Isn't it pretty? Like Rexxie, many older cards may be getting a new "retraining" in this new expansion, making them useful once again in modern battles. It would be very exciting for veteran Splinter players to play with better versions of the early cards, and of course for new players as well, as I think they look very cool.
ANIMATIONS
Wouldn't it be nice if some cards, especially legendary ones, could have their own animation? Well, I found on https://baronstoolbox.com/, that some cards already have one, some of them are:
I think it's only a matter of time before this is possible, at least for legendary cards as I mentioned before, which will add a lot of excitement to the player experience. To make them exclusive, these cards will only have animation if they are golden, increasing the rarity.
PHRASES
Another great feature I would like to see implemented is that when the battle starts, the summoners can say a phrase or roar, a pleasure for the ears I would say.
Some examples:
Risqruel Drath: Hey Bulldog, here I come! (referring to @bulldog1205, who helped design this card)
Cryptic: The Chaos Legion shall fall! (Due to Cryptic's hatred towards the Chaos Legion, good lore)
And when they are defeated:
Risqruel Drath: I failed, I failed!
Cryptic: Someday, someday!
It would be even more awesome if each team's highest mana legendary card also had a phrase, or would that be too much?
COLLECTOR'S EDITION
Source
To incentivize the purchase of Conclave Arcana packs, not just for the Airdrop points they are likely to contain. Why not give something extra to those who want to buy, let's say 500, 1000, 2000 packs? I think physical items like the Encyclopedia of the Splinters, or even the Splinterlands Art process or the Lore of the new expansion. Maybe physical cards from the expansion.
It would be great for collectors and also new players too see how serious Splinterlands is.
I know, this may not be implemented, at least not in this way, or am I completely wrong?
Anyways, it would be a great addition to add physical items to the Shop of Splinterlands.
And that's what I think or really hope will be implemented in Splinterlands. Do you like any of my "predictions" for the new Conclave Arcana expansion?
That's all for now, see you on the battlefield!
