I'm not sure about any specific keyword abilities for the leviathans, but I think leaning towards damage and destruction would be the way to go. I'd had one of them leaving behind Ash tokens after card types are destroyed, as well as turning lands into wastes/destroying them depending on their type. Leaning into that with a variety of keywords that fit both leviathans in general as well as seems like a good direction.
legendofa A lot of the decisions for eelfolk was based on falvor. Merfolk usually fall into bant, which is currently occupied, though I know we could have had monoblue. I was actually considering an ocean naga race akin to sea snakes, but eel felt more at home in the depths. With most of the other tribes fighting for control of the leviathans, having a race that is more symbiotic in their relationship, and trying to prevent the control felt like a good addition. Mechanically, I thought brining in an ocean based tribe with some more aggressive abilities, such as first strike, double strike, menace, etc, would help support the low end of the tribe as levaithans tend to be large.

Had a lot of ideas, so I decided to throw down some support. With the variety of ways we've been avoiding the traditional for this set in terms of color identity and creature types, I decided to introduce Eelfolk as a slight twist to merfolk as the oceangoing species alongside the leviathans.
The challenge is to keep this plane going, so lets see some enchantments for any of the factions.

Frost Runner
Creature - Elf Scout 2/2
Until end of turn, frost runner gets +1/+0. If an opponent controls a snow land, it also gains menace.
The Matzoth set continues, lets see another card from there. Bonus if its for the faction, they still seem a bit disjointed.

I think adding a 5th faction could would be nice, maybe a faction? Build off what sergiodelrio said, and push both the artifact and rebellion angles. If the ranger is just trying to survive, than is trying to win, a group of rebels struggling against the cold and yetis. From we get necromancy to raise the dead for information on lost artifacts, magical weapons and ruins to use a hideouts while gives us the defiant spirit along with speed for hit and run tactics, and in the literal sense fire vs ice.
And the current challenge until it changes:
Level 1: Wild.
Level 2: Create another card for Matzoth.
Level 3: Summarize another faction in a single card.

Leviathan Garden
Creature - Leviathan Egg 0/6
Defender
Whenever you deal 3 or more damage to a single target, put a maturity counter on Leviathan Garden.
Remove 3 or more maturity counters from Leviathan Garden, create a 4/4 red and blue leviathan creature token.
[Image: a geothermal vent in the deep ocean with dozens of eggs clustered around, the eggs closest to the vent are the most transparent with the shadowy silhouettes of leviathans visible]
I honestly wonder, with what's been started, if we could build an entire set as a group for this plane. For the next challenge, continue with this set, or wild.

Iceshatter Leviathan
Creature - Leviathan 7/7
First Strike, Islandwalk
If Iceshatter Leviathan deals 7 or more combat damage to a player, choose target land that player controls and put a shatter counter on it. That land becomes a waste and loses all other types for as long as it has a shatter counter on it. If the land was snow covered, destroy it instead.
A new plane and new things to explore. Lets see more from the plane of Matzoth and Bridgette (see above for more examples)

#1Vent Lurker
Creature - Eel Leviathan 20/20
Sense It Coming: As an additional cost to cast this spell, you may return any numbers of creatures you control to their owners hand. This spells cost less for each creature returned this way.
Whenever this creature attacks, you may put a shatter counter on up to 3 lands. They become wastes and lose all other land types. If they are snow lands, destroy them instead.
If a creature is dealt 5 or more damage greater then its toughness by vent lurker, exile it instead of putting it into its owners graveyard.
This feels pretty big. Matzoth continues, and if people can't survive in one place, maybe them move around. Lets see some big transport sleds or caravans, and some interesting pack animal options to pull them
