Wait, if Shakespeare isn't the best English writer, then who is?

Red is objectively the best color. Please, before you become upset allow me to explain.

Red's combination of strengths and weaknesses make it the most interesting color. Spontaneous expression of emotion through action is the most unfiltered method of expression. The least is lost in translation from emotion to action. Spontaneity also creates conflict well. A high value in freedom and independence creates conflict better than conformity. Even in a world where everything is the same, red will fight tooth and claw to somehow be different and unique.

Red also has motherfucking lightning bolt.

Lightning. Bolt.

I myself have always been partial to forces that play with metaphysical concepts both in the way that they effect the world, and how we perceive them as effecting the world. Blue for me. That, and I love the idea of using Mind-magic to force https://youtu.be/4fndeDfaWCg to be heard in someone's head eternally.

>>50368711
No one. That's a meaningless question that's perpetuated by first year English and Drama majors so they can Shill Shakespeare non-stop.

Shakespeare only seems so great because you have autists who can act obsess over him to the point that they put every fiber of emotion into their art. You're not looking at the result of good writing, you're seeing the result of obsession and perfectionism.

>>50368971
I'm pretty sure that a lot of us mix White with other colors, but the color by itself is just... meh. Good Human tribals, great starting game, best life-gain of any set, but it just doesn't have that power feel we like. It's great if you can get combos off it, but life-gain for its own sake feels pretty pointless.

Also, not many on /tg/ qualify for Paladin/Cleric status.

I would like to point out that this change a lot -between formats, have no idea whats going on in standard right now,
- eternal formats like Modern/Legacy/Vintage, blue is king (less so in modern) and has been since the early history of the game.
- the older formats get progressively "faster" and combo is a factor so being able to inter-react on turn 1 and 2 to are a must. i.e. blue is a must.
come on guys: FOW, time walk, brainstorm?

Play Blue. Do yourself a favor and read Wizards Soul, it's a Manga. The main Character is an exaggeration of how it feels to be a Blue player in MTG

On one hand, yeah, you won, but to do it you spent most of your efforts taking apart your opponents deck and turning it against them.

when i started out, i played white because i thought shit tons of life was cool. since then i've played with other colors but i still am most comfortable playing with white. pic is my boy, especially fun if you toss on a heavy arbalest and a gorgons head

i think artifacts are also cool, but colorless is not a color.(absolutely adore the m12 empires trio)

lately though i like to play with white and black. whether its spawning a shit ton of tokens then grinding them down into a martyrs bond, or my latest fancy making people commit suicide with a tainted remedy and a butchers glee/whatever cheap instant lifelink giving card i can get or maybe tossing out a congregate/healing hands on my opponent.
first deck makes me feel like a cult leader and making my people drink the koolaid, second one makes me feel like im smiting motherfuckers.

It's more like... from what I can tell, a majority of MTG players who "enjoy" Magic are the Timmy-Johnny Archetype.(/tg/ was especially this in a recent poll) They're In it to have fun and love crazy combos, and respect getting beat in that manner.

Blue isn't about outclassing or countering combos, it's "No, Fuck You, you don't get to do that," until you've left your opponents side of the field a smoldering heap of suck and tears, then winning with a couple creatures that they should've been able to take out if they'd been able to do anything. It's frustrating, and it garners no interesting tales.

>>50367495

White's my personal favorite in terms of both philosophy and gameplay. I like building things on the battlefield, be that a big army of dudes or a bunch of enchantments, and white is the best color for both while being able to fill other roles. Lifegain is super-suboptimal but fun if you do it right.

Philosophically, I'm pretty on board with the notion that we're all in this together and everyone deserves a fair shake. Of the five colors, White's most inclined to do what it thinks is right over what it thinks is convenient, which I find most respectable.

Now OP done it. Post dragons fucking Kars.

>>50377802
Because whatever else, Wizards at least knows how to appeal to their audience. My current theory is that they know that they can't win with everyone, so they rotate their audience focus each block. The new Innistrad appealed to Edgy MTG players who are in WOD campaigns, and Kaladesh appealed to... well, everyone except Energy haters I guess.

>>50377858
No.

Though there should be a dedicated /d/ thread for that. I wouldn't mind seeing An Anthro-Dragon fucking a Car Slut.

>>50368971

Black: 71 votes

Colorless isn't a color: 64 votes

Blue: 51 votes

Red: 46 votes

Green: 44 votes

White: 38 votes.

>>50381824
>>50381422

You know what's more frustrating than not being able to get your combo off?

ALMOST getting your combo off.

The deck is simple: Graveyard Control. Run something simple, like Zombie Human Tribal, and include a bunch of Human Wizards and Necromancers to fuel that. PrimarybWin-condition is Zombie Army. Simple, right?

Except it's a Black-Blue deck, so we play a lot of removal and counter, using Sacc to generate Mana and fuel other counter abilities. At any given time we should be able to remove or counter nearly any card they put down... except we wait. We wait until we can tell they're ALMOST about to pull off a combo, and that's when we do it. Boom, countered, and to the Grave it goes.

All this serve a point besides being an asshole? Absolutely? Those Wizards and Necromancers? Those and our remaining spells, abilities, and creatures all have effects like "summon creature from Opponents Graveyard," or "Cast X from opponent's grave as if it were any color of mana."

Because the only thing worse than having your strategy ruined is seeing it turned against you like a Whore offered just so much more money.

>>50382190
I'd play it. Sounds dickish enough to be fun, but Graveyard control keeps it from being Janky enough that you don't feel like you won. Which format would it be in? Legacy would be limitless, but Commander is more fun.

Sooo uh, I kinda got introduced to this game today, so can anybody tell me what the difference between each color is?

I asked the guy who runs the store what the differences are and told me a bunch about their flavor, like how "white is about holy powers and civilization" and "black is about demons and necromancy" but didn't give ma any straight answers to their mechanics. I tried Google but all the descriptions were long winded and a bit unclear as to what they do, especially to an outsider such as myself. Can sombody explain to an idiot the mechanical differences to the colors?

tl;dr: can someone give me a tl;dr on the color differences?
