Ouch, this would be a really harsh nerf.

I like the concept of having spellcasters as part of a team though.

Well:

DE - The dirty elves with Devious access and stab.

Pro (Union) - Still cheap and seem to have crazy plays with HMP/diving catch. Along with the SS blitzer seem like a tricky team to defend against.

Woodies - The fastest. Also, have a slightly better PA across all players.

Not sure what that leaves for High Elves. They have safe and long passing. With the other skills that go well with them already out I don't see anything obvious left for them.

Give the blitzers Guard? That would certainly give them something other elves lack?

We all know that new helfs have swoop babydragons and kick team mate linos.

The Blitzers will gain 'My Ball' because they're too snobby to let anyone else touch it.

Catchers will gain Claw because the models have claws on the catching mittens.

The Throwers will gain any Passing skills that they've not managed to give to a starting player already.

The Linemen will be AG9+ and AV2+ because of a mix-up and it'll take 6 months to errata.

I am fairly confident that the High Elves will be a more “distinctive” team, if they put as much effort as they did into reworking the Norse, Amazons and Chaos Dwarves.

The best things HE have going for them is that they don't have a current box set for sale. This means that the sprue will (hopefully) be designed around the team, and not vice-versa.

....or the reason the team roster hasn't been released yet is because they haven't finalised the sprues.

"Guard" is never a stater skill. So, maybe “Defensive” trait instead.

This opens up the possibility to rethink the distribution of positions.

I actually kind of like this, but getting side line staff feels off compared to other rules. Slap Iron Hard Skin on alla positionals and call it a day.
