What exactly would greens spirituality applied to blues imagination look like. Both flavor wise and mechanically

Stupid as it may sound, it'd probably look like Simic.
Not trying to be sarcastic, honestly, but I think that's really just what Simic is. Green's spirituality is tied to nature and growth. Using Blue's methods of mental prowess, thought, and power of science, applied to that... I can't think of anything more appropriate than the Simic's mindset of experiment and accelerated evolution (mutation)

Green - In touch with what is and what was. Focuses on the currently present but untapped potential in things.
Blue - In touch with what will be and what could be. Focused more on new knowledge and discovery.

Focused more on new knowledge and discovery. From this, one could conclude that Green/Blue uses the past and the present to gain knowledge of the future, that it taps into the potential of all things to make new discoveries and innovations. Green/Blue wants to preserve the essence of nature and all living things while improving them and, through that, itself. |

So were would Druids and shamans for into this equation? I that doesn't realy sound simic anyway because simic has a disregard for what was. Besides, Kruphix
The simic don't "preserve" anything

Besides, Kruphix The simic don't "preserve" anything Druids and shamans are green; they are not GU in their normal form. They are in touch with spirits/nature/ancestors/animals/threes/elementals...what is and what was. Simic doesn't quite "disregard" the past and neither does mono blue...they use the past as a means to an end, as a foundation for what they will build new things...they just don't want their new things to be controled or held back by the past. Think research or forgotten ancient, lore. Simic would say that preserving is their primaray function, in their eys. they see a normal frog. that frog will not live long in a world of drakes and wizards. So they improve it into a mosterous frog beast. This preserves the genetic diversity of the frog and the life of the frog. They just don't feel like they need to preserve it with a special reverence to the way in which it was before....build on what is...bring out what is there...but don't hold yourself back out of pure nastalgia. Kruphix is....weird....make what you want out of him. But he does not embody GU on the whole, the same way that Purphoros doesn't encompass all of red (he is not the war god, for example, nor is he the god of anger, though he may have some of those traits...he is a builder like hephestes (sp?)) |

So one could conclude that greens spirituality doesn't just involve "the past" and blues imagination doesn't just involve "the future". That there are many more aspects to it than just was what was portrayed in the color combo before. Right ?

i have no idea what you are asking. you seem to switch beteen talking about the colors separately and talking about their influences on gold cards without saying which you are adressing.
And no color is simple. My oversimplification even included how green cares about the present and the potential for the past and the present to exist and grow in the future. Blue cares about the future but (generally) acts in the present and learns from the past.

We've seen a large amount of what G/U has to offer between RTR and THS blocks, but there is probably more. |
