-UW Flyers as usual
-GB Saprolings
-WG go wide
-RW auras / equipment
-BW legends matter / knights
-RU Wizards
-RG Kicker?
What else?

Ya, pretty much what LittleBlueHero said, although there are archetypes across all ten color pairs. I think the draft uncommons are
: Raff Capashen, Ship's Mage for historic
: Slimefoot, the Stowaway for sacrifice/saprolings
: Shanna, Sisay’s Legacy for go wide and tall at the same time
: Tatyova, Benthic Druid for lands matters. although lands matter doesn't have much support for that as a theme, so probably more of a ramp archetype
: Arvad the Cursed? Maybe it's legends matter here, as well as go wide. I think WB has more uncommon legends than the other colors
The other color pairs have some stuff too.
: Adeliz, the Cinder Wind and Wizards as a whole is a pretty clear archetype here.
: Hallar, the Firefletcher. Kicker theme seems pretty fun, and there are other support cards like Bloodstone Goblin
: Garna, the Bloodflame I guess? Not sure what the archetype for this is, maybe it's meant for the GB aristocrats deck if you want to go Jund?
: Rona, Disciple of Gix is... historic I guess? I think this too is for if you're playing UW Historic and want to go Esper
: Tiana, Ship's Caretaker is Equipment and auras. A good amount of support between this, Valduk, Keeper of the Flame, Champion of the Flame, Danitha Capashen, Paragon, etc. Also Orcish Vandal seems pretty good with Tiana
Also, are there any good combos for draft? Tiana, Ship's Caretaker with an equipment and Orcish Vandal seems like a good combo. Anything else?

Well its probably pretty obvious to everyone but Traxos, Scourge of Kroog and Voltaic Servant are pretty awesome together.

UW is actually more focused on Historic Matters than it is on flyers this time around (though flying is always a good strategy no matter what color you can pull it off in.)
BG has a saproling matters option but it can also be run as an aristocrats style deck. Lots of tokens and lots of sacrifice effects.
WG is definitely go wide but thanks to greens huge creatures it can basically go wide just long enough to drop bombs and still go tall with some awesome aura's etc.
BW can be run the same way GB can as an aristocrats deck. Lots of tokens here.
UG is land matters for sure.
The thing to note is that every color has ways to control the board so there isn't really a set "control" combination rather it could be played in almost any colors depending on pulls.
