Whats you Favorite colour of Magic?

Thorn

Mine has to be green, Having loads of creatures out and then playing an Overrun or two is great!

Ivan

My favourite has to be blue, because no matter what tricks you have up your sleeve, mine will always be better
And if it really comes down to it, I can just say NO and hold up a counterspell

Thorn

yea blue is pritty cool, it is the only thing i can think of that could beat a Indestructible affinity artifact deck, Ive seen em!

Raphael

I play black or red.

Black is handy because it has so many things you just can't kill, and loads of little ways to drain away your opponents lives

Red is good for speed, you can have 3 gobbos on the field in 3 turns, then sacrifice the little buggers all over the place

I like white (though it isn't as strong as red or blue)

Story Circle RULES!!!

I completely agree with that
Plus flag barers and angels with tons of cheap health spells and with the addition of spells like mirror strike *drools* just gotta love white

My personal favourite colour is black. Great in Limited and Constructed, where its great as a mono or splash colour. Black just has such a good mix of control cards, aggressive cards, removal etc. Its the most versatile colour imho and has great flavour too. Green seems to have a habit of putting too many eggs in one basket, white is too weak in general, blue is fun but cant keep pulling tricks forever, and red doesnt have enough field presence. Black rocks

Ivan

Black is nice, but you end up sacrificing too much, or being forced into an all or nothing situation and red will just burn you to death, green will just swarm you with crap you cant deal with (without mass destruction of white) , blue will just stall you, while you kill yourself, and white will be gaining life long after the people have forgotten your name

Green is an great matchup for black, it spends all that time and mana getting a big fatty on the field only to be wiped out by a Terror. Green is far too topheavy and all too easy to topple. White life gain cant go on forever, id much prefer to have a good quick beater on the field than a life gain spell in hand. anyone playing heavy life gain in a nondedicated life deck are just kidding themselves if they think they can win. Blue can only use so many bounce and counters until they run out of steam, and often finds its hand being ripped to pieces by black discard cards. red is probably the trickiest to deal with for black, but black is still the win. as for life paying and whatnot, id prefer to pay a small amount of life for a fast, solid creature (eg Zombie Cutthroat, Phyrexian Scuta) than waiting to curve out. As for not having mass destruction, i give you plague wind, hideous laughter, nausea, bane of the living, decree of pain, barter in blood, etc

You should play a good elf based green deck, all the Dark Banishings in the world cant stop that

Yeah Or one of those many many other minus/minus spells...
Still, when you play elves right they're all 10/10's and you are gaining one life for each of them every turn, God I hate good green players
But I do agree, a good black deck when played right can really destroy anyone...

Thorn

i have seen elf decks been f###ed up so quickly by blue decks, but apart from that a good elf deck is savage! I got my life up to 400 using elf wellwishers!

too many things have protection from black and red! a White-Black protection deck would f### you up!

MatthewVII

a white deck that runs all protection from black would indeed f**k a black deck up. thankfully, it wouldnt win any other matchup because its designed too narrowly and inconsistent against any other deck. Hence no one will run it. hence black wont come up against it. hence black not being awful. i think its fair to say that ANY deck will have a tough time against another deck which is specifically designed to hose that colour totally. luckily for us, magic is a varied game.

Ivan

Actually, there have been a few times where mono-black decks have become the standard for most tournaments and people did indeed run white protection decks versus them. And I'm sure most people are familiar with whites weenie standings, however, black's discard (and card drawing) at the time was much too good and generally won out, in the end.
