The way the Magic team merges the art, mechanics and lore of the game with the psychological aspect of all 3, is severely underrated. They have a deep understanding of human psychology and I'd love to read a book or watch a video on their process.
Compared to modern stuff they seem deep. Theyre amateurs compared to true masters BUT their small truths can seem deeply wise when surrounded by chaotic empty deserts of forgetting all truth as the alternative. They give a mostly open insight into how they appeal to customers compared to many companies who won't talk about any of the smoke mirrors or magic. They are helpful to start learning more about these things. To do better you'd have to read the sort of book people pay people to read in expert professions. And those exist. Sure it's POSSIBLE to read those same books for free. But you should hold out until someone offers you a scholarship! If you're good at something never do it for free!
The fact that I can tell the 4th grader "Do what seems cool to you and the mechanics will probably work out" shows how amazing well thought out the mechanics and flavor are. Like vampires? Well a whole deck of them works really well.
Mono blue control. My opponents don't need turns, nor are they entitled to have cards on the field. They just need to wait til I'm good and ready to win the game.
Unless you're playing multiplayer, in which case you're only going to piss off a bunch of people you can't possible have enough control for at the same time.
Blue-Red blaster/control. You don't get turns, you don't get to cast spells, and if you do somehow manage to force something onto the battlefield I have several different ways to annihilate it.
I wouldn't expect it. I understand this series as just covering (in detail) the basics. A followup series explaining more advanced elements would be cool though.
So basically, you can use colored mana as generic mana, but generating generic mana isn't a thing, it's only used in casting costs, but colorless mana, on the other hand, can only be payed for using colorless mana, not generic or colored mana, and the colorless symbol is kind of a wierd diamond thing, but that's more recent, so sometimes it'll look like you're making generic mana when actually you're making colorless mana- wait where are you going??? I haven't even explained hybrid or phyrexian mana!
It used to be said that Blue and Red were the elemental colours, with Blue representing Air and Water, and Red being Earth and Fire. Also, back in the day, Green used to have a lot of healing abilities, with White typically focused a little more on defense.
I am a long time player of magic that finds my home in White. It was always the color that aligned the most with my asethitic, morality and even the darker parts of my own nature. In exploring white as a color I have found that it's weaknesses are alot of it's strengths if you know how to build with it. It doesn't have the card draw or mana ramp of other colors, but it has reset buttons for that and is often home to some very efficient spells. Best of all is that you can switch between an aggressive strategy and a defensive strategy easily within color. When it pairs with Blue it becomes a cold authoritarian, with green it becomes a nurturer, with red it feeds it's zeal, and black's darker impulses can be fed with whites efficiency.
I think there were some thinks you didn't mension! Blue's focus on gaining logic is represented by many cards, letting them draw more cards from their deck. Green has also a dissaproval for technology, leading to many cards destroying non-creature-permanents like Artifacts and Enchantments. Great video anyway! Love you all!
Alex Miles look, all I'm saying is that the opposition cycle is a valid cycle, though highly untraditional and not at all preferred to the neighboring cycles
This is great! I always love hearing people talk about not only the things each color can do gameplay-wise, but also the philosophies and personalities that each one has. For me, that's where a lot of the fun comes in mixing colors- in just seeing how their philosophies and outlooks mesh with one another. My personal favorite is the way the fervent passion of red can combine with the curious intellectualism of blue to form the chaotic, always-inventing, mad-scientist flavor of the Izzet League.
Even though I am very familiar with MTG and its concepts, I love seeing how you guys break it down and explain it in a way both newcomers and veterans can enjoy. Keep up the good work 😁
3:23. Also: Blue has a repertoire of sea monsters and other things from the deep. Like one I call the food chain combination. It begins with a simple reef wyrm. However, once it dies, it gets replaced by a slightly stronger fish token. Then when that fish is destroyed, a slightly stronger Whale token replaces it. And when that whale token is destroyed….. You get a 9/9 kraken token that’s hard to get rid of in battle.
I really like Simic, Green's savage nature, tempered by Blue's logic. Give me Vorel of the Hull Clade and some way to give any other creature some number of +1/+1 counters, and before you know it i'll have a monster that dwarfs the Eldrazi.
I kinda wish you'd actually talked a bit more about how the colors mechanically work, and the trade-offs between the reliability of pure mana versus the versatility and combo potential of mixed mana.
I remember when I was first researching Magic and I was deciding what color I was going to use. I decided on blue/green because that combination was the closest to strategy as my Yu-Gi-Oh deck which used a lot of defensive cards to block and disrupt my opponent until I could summon my heavy hitters.
I've played pure blue control decks before. There's literally nothing you can do against a well built control deck, it's got more counterspells and disabling enchantments than you have spells and creatures.
@@bmobmo6438 And then, mono-red came :D I played mono-red for a while, and I think I can outrun a mono-blue control. Esper control are hard to out-run because they have heal and novas, pure blue, they don't have this sort of things, so you can outrun them. Yes, they have more counterspells than you. But a counterspell cost two to third mana, most of my threats cost 1 to 2 ^^
@@krankarvolund7771 welp, no mono deck has ever be unbeatable, or even no deck period... I fail to remember more than one deck that have been considered so for more than a couple of weeks at most.
@@bmobmo6438 I mean, it actually doesn't. Also it isn't very much about how well the deck is built, but how well it's piloted. To be an effective blue player, you essentially need to be at least as effective at every other color because the key is maximizing the value off of a limited pool of control cards, which means understanding the key pieces that will unravel your opponent's deck. A fairly common first time mistake with blue is the feeling that you need to answer every card your opponent plays, which usually plays out as countering the first four spells, bouncing a thing or two, and then running out of gas and getting overrun. Instead, you need to be considering how important a card is in the match up, whether it's something that could win the game for your opponent, as well as all possible answers you have for a card. Blue simply offers more decisions than other colors, and that means a higher skill cap for experienced players to take advantage of. Also even pure control decks like Seinfeld don't have more answers than other decks have spells. For starters, control typically can't afford to be as greedy with its mana base as other decks can, meaning you just flat out have less spells than other decks do, and secondly, a control deck still needs to win somehow, which means some portion of its spells need to actually win the game, as well as card selection spells, meaning you can't devote as much answers to your deck as elsewhere. Depending on your format, there are a variety of answers. Aggro decks can generally play 2 spells per turn, which generally means at least one threat is sticking, and they can just keep getting large threats. Lands decks are generally fairly hard to interact with, especially for blue. Green midrange has an excellent array of resilient threats with text like hexproof, can't be countered, and so forth. Black can keep gaining value off of its cards, as well as provide a strong control set up of its own. Combo decks can just wait until you need to actually tap out for something and win on the spot.
I wish you'd gone into the color wheel at the end, as I find explaining the wheel visually helps new players build multi-color decks easier by know their direct strengths, weaknesses, and allies of their color choices.
I like Gruul just for the fast smash approach. No careful strategies that get derailed with a few missed land drops. Just hasty creatures pumped up to ridiculous size, trampling on your face before your pesky counterspells can put a dent in my arsenal. Also Domri (RIP)
Im a big fan of Gruul but I also liked too many cards from Swamp so I ended up with a Jund deck myself. Big creatures, damage spells, AND revive from the grave! (of course it is much easier to get mana screwed)
Thank you for making this series! I played magic for awhile and was tossed in with a lot experienced players who didn't really help me learn and I grew frustrated and gave it up. Now with this not only has interest returned, but I am understanding the game better. I can't wait for the next episode!
Yeeep. Go big, go fast, go smash. No matter what, something is going on and the opponent has to react and GETS to react most of the time. Fluid back and forth. Unlike Blue decks which just...STALLS...the game.
The advice at the beginning is true. You should try out and play against colors to find ones you like. But also realize there may be styles of colors you don’t like that work for you
I was always a Green main until Ravnica came along and I added Blue to my identity. Never been competent at the whole control aspect of Blue, but it definitely adds other things. If I end up splashing a third, it's usually White. So, basically, I'm a Simic main, sometimes Selesnya.
Having dabbled in Magic as a wee lass, this video actually makes me feel nostalgic and want to play again! If only I can find my white deck full of unicorns and Pegasus someplace...
honestly, while i don't really play magic anymore, this shows what i really liked about magic. it just has so much personality and detail put into even the most insignificant aspects of the game. it's fascinating to me because i love being able to delve into the mechanics of stuff like card games, and learning about the various design philosophies that get put into each color, and how that translates into specific cards, their effects, and even their flavor text and artwork. though i suppose that it also helps that magic is pretty open about that sort of thing. looking at other games, yugioh only offers flavor text on normal monster cards, while cards with effects, or even non effect monsters that are special summon type cards (fusions and such) don't get any flavor text. pokemon i'm pretty sure just has pokedex entries, which while close, really don't focus as much on the cards themselves, but more on just what pokemon it is. (and there's nothing for trainer and special energy cards) they don't really go into the specific card with the flavor text, since often cards have specific scenes or actions happening in the artwork, but outside of magic, i don't think there's any game that really extrapolates on those scenes or even the world at large through flavor text. hell, sometimes flavor text is direct quote(s) from characters in the story of any given plane that the set is taking place in. it makes each card feel like much more than "just" a card. even though i don't play anymore, sometimes i'll just kinda go through boxes of commons and uncommons at my local tournament store if i'm bored or just waiting for other players to show up, and just look at card art and read flavor text because it's just that engaging to me. i guess it's really just because i love learning about all the juicy LORE~ behind the cards, and magic is really the only game that lets you fully delve into it. the pokemon tcg doesn't really have any sort of overarching story tied between all the cards or even sets of cards, and while yugioh does have various groups of cards that follow some sort of narrative such as the world legacy themes, the lack of flavor text in most of the cards makes it hard to be able to fully piece together everything. (sometimes they post snippets of lore for a couple cards either on the official twitter page or in an issue of shonen jump, but it's pretty rare for the most part, and it doesn't even come close to covering everything in any given story) not really sure about other games like cardfight vanguard or force of will though, since i haven't really checked those out.
On one hand, I do value knowledge, advanced planning and undermining my enemy's efforts until I'm ready... on the other hand, sooner or later I get antsy and just want to make stuff explode. hi, I'm a Blue/Red (or Izzet) player.
Having spent most of my highschool years casually playing MtG with my friends my favourite deck I ever came up with and used the most was pure green pure perma deck where I had not a single instant and only one sorcery and that being Primal Surge. I had lots of small critters that helped me build up more mana and work as a little meat shield until I got far enough to call in my bigger friends and it was always so satisfying when I got to 10+ mana and drew Primal Surge and just took like 2/3 of my remaining deck and slammed it to the table and said "I summon these". The deck had its weaknesses and wasn't overwhelming but it still had one of the best win rates in our group. It was so straightforward that it was just so much fun to play and my friends never complained playing against it. Other notable decks I used was green/white token deck and red/blue burn deck as well as my Kaalia Commander deck. Overall my play styles tend more often than not center around overrunning my opponents with monsters in one way or another (even the burn deck centered a lot around Guttersnipe).
When my dad explained me colours so many years ago: Red: Fit White: Mid Green: Big Blue: Library Black: Graveyard (yeah he didnt had a rhyme for blue and black)
He did that to make black dramatic. It threw me too. But extra history is more about WUG in that order. RB are somewhat special and almost deviant. It makes sense for this channel! Walpole is Black Blue White I think.
On one hand, I've always liked the "No you" mentality of Blue Decks, and winning by throwing your opponent's entire deck in their graveyard too. On the other hand, I have fond memories of winning by summoning an infinite number of spirit tokens with my White Deck.
Finding what suits you in MtG is a lot of fun. I enjoy red and green decks the most, and the nature of red resonates with me deeply. Even after messing around with friends' blue and black decks, which were fun, I found that I wasn't as comfortable playing those cards versus the red and green cards I already owned
I'm not a magic player and don't want to learn it, but these videos explain a lot about the world, and the DnD book for ravnica didn't explain too much so this actually helps a lot for my campaign starting in a few weeks!
Dear Newbies: Here are the standardized terms with a rough definition for each color combination, which are based on the in-world factions that exemplified them: 1 Colors: Black - Necromancy, "eye for an eye tactics", Demonology, Ambition Blue - Wizardry, "No" (blue mages amirite!?), Djinn, Sphinxes, Spirits (of the wispy variety) Green - Hippie love/Druids, Natural law, Rangers, Big Beasties, Dinos, Trolls Red - Sorcery, Passion, Goblins, Ogres, Dragons, Elementals (of the angry variety) White - Devotion, Worship, Law/Order, Soldiers, Clerics, 'the people', Angels, spirits (of the friendly variety) 2 Colors: (B = Black, U = Blue, G = Green, R = Red, W= White) all from the world of Ravnica BU = Dimir - largely spycraft/subterfuge oriented BG = Golgari - concerned with Reduce, Reuse, Recycle BR - Rakdos - think Carnival of sins BW - Orzhov - think mobsters/corporates that could be immortal ghosts UG - Simic - evolution based scientists UR - Izzet - The experimental scientists UW - Azorius - If you gave the legal system magic GR - Gruul - The rebels of society in a world that is the fantasy version of star wars' coruscant. GW - Selesnya - The hippies that seek to maintain nature on fantasy coruscant RW - Boros - The army that plays it fast and loose rather than by the book Color combos become more about mechanical identity than flavor as you increase in number* 3 Colors: Come in two flavors Shards (from [Shards of] Alara) representing a color and its 2 'allies', and Wedges (from Tarkir) representing a color and its 2 'enemies': Shards: RBU - Grixis - largely concerned with aggressive reuse and abuse of their cards originally built from Unearth, which allowed creatures to come back from the graveyard for 1 turn BUW - Esper - A very controlling/tricksy setup that originally centered on artifact creatures like Master Transmuter which enable many a shenanigan. UWG - Bant - A together-as-one ideal that originally featured Exalted that allowed all your creatures to help 1 become super strong WGR - Naya - A bigger is better naturalist group that originally featured giant beasts like Godsire that could summon mini godsires while crushing the opponent GRB - Jund - Darwinism meets dragons and giant monsters that originally featured Devour, which allowed a creature to eat other creatures to become bigger when in entered the battlefield Wedges: Had other nicknames before they were more officially coined as these clans WBG - Abzan - Vibes like a spiritual White with a long-game of getting value from it's creatures in any way URW - Jeskai - Often monk-like but features a lot of Blue-ish spell slinging that their creatures support BGU - Sultai - The most Black, These guys do a fair bit of graveyard work as they dig for combo pieces and powerhouses they can cheat in RWB - Mardu - These are like the well-organized mongol hordes, vibed Red GUR - Temur - The odd-ball of the bunch, Temur does the weird stuff most-often with crazy elementals like Maelstrom Wanderer or Riku, of Two Reflections 4 Colors: There are really only a handful of 4 color cards and the 4 color combos are largely built to support an end rather than being the means themselves. Very combo/Jank oriented 5 Colors: There are a number of 5 color cards which are hard to pull off but have huge payoffs like Progenitus, There is also a lot of flavor in ~bringing together the people from all walks of life~ sort of themes or things like the tribal Slivers -- shapeshifting ~aliens~ that all benefit each other as they spawn and evolve an impossible army No colors: Here you find either the older artifact setups that never aligned to a specific color, like Golems and the cute little robot chickens called Myr. On the flip side you'll find things like the (initial) run of the Eldrazi which are lovecraftian horrors that defy the imagination, are nigh-unstoppable, and want to consume the multiverse. ^_^
@@TheDSasterX One of my favorite combos with blue is what I call the food chain combination. It begins with a simple Reef Wyrm. Then once it’s destroyed, it is replaced by a more powerful fish token. Then when that fish token is destroyed, a more powerful whale token replaces it. Then finally, when that whale token is destroyed… It’s replaced by a 9/9 kraken token that can be a pretty fearsome attacker!
@@pendragonxt3674 Oh yes, I too built the glorious quest for Ula's temple deck of deep sea beasties. A little awkward, but so fun! Unless you're talking about using the food chain card in some combo with reef wyrm?
I started Magic about a year ago, grew adicted to it. Thanks to that adiction I managed to get 4 decks, though Blue is probably the color I use the least (only present in 1 deck)
The first time I watched this I thought for sure I'd be green. Then I downloaded arena and realized white and red are my favorites, which when I thought about it corresponds to my own beliefs on morality. I admit it's hard to put one together that works as well as mono white or mono red. It's more dependent on the luck of the draw.
The art in this episode is top notch. I find myself watching just for the expressions of all the mages in battle with each other. Also I'm a red mage through and through
I can tell that you guys put a lot of effort into figuring out each color and which cards best exemplify the type of creatures and abilities that are the archetypes of that color.
"For all the altruism you'll find in this [group], they have to be careful that their unbending nature and belief that know what's right doesn't lead them to try to impose those beliefs on others." This is a problem that many groups, especially religious and political groups, have.
Everyone has a favourite set of colors and decks from those colors. For me, I like the Blue-Black, Hundred-Card, Creatureless Mystical Teachings Control Deck. It's up there with Storm, Affinity and Burn for me.
How to play colorless 1. Make sure to always play eldrazi 2. Make sure to play alone 3. Never make friends until you play something other then colorless
On one hand, I like the idea of playing the long game, fighting through traps and manipulations, preparing ahead of time so your opponent gets caught and made helpless. On the other hand, my usual play style in games leans heavily on "Nuke my opponent into the stone age before they can move a muscle." This feels at odds a bit.
I first stated playing this February (Ravnica Allegiance) and my friend and I built a blue/green deck for me. Now I just made my first two deck on my own (white/black lifegain and white/blue flyers) and love it. I was surprised how much I liked the colors I didn’t even start with
Colourless mana is more of a mechanic unique to the eldrazi. The same as snow mana is for snow stuff. It doesn't need to be explained to beginners yet.
Also artifact decks dont really fall into "colourless" archetype but more of generic mana since it can be paid with any type of mana, but actual devoid spells needs colourless mana
well, colourless is the lack of a need for emotion i guess in this context, so... it doesn't matter? drawing mana from colourless sources though is definitely a conversation worth having. maybe it's like that feeling you get when you watch a movie and have no idea what the point of it was, or eat a meal that is so without taste that you're surprised it even contained calories.
Was never really into magic but this video like others in its series was quite informative. Took some online quizzes for a laugh, and, for the most part, am black & blue so now I know what deck to run when/if I ever get into the game more seriously; thanks.
It’s been about 20 years since I’m played but made some fine memories playing with old friends back in the day. Favorite decks from that era: Red/White Mass Damage Redirect with Mogg Maniac and En-Kor units Mono Black Living Death/ Reanimate with the biggest creatures of any color I could plant in the graveyard
There's plenty of channels that do just that, specifically for the current edition of the game. (5th) A couple of good examples would be How to D&D and Don't Stop Thinking. (the latter is currently doing a series introducing people to Call of Cthulhu 7th edition)
I haven't played since 2010 but I was a green player. I loved filling the board with forests and throwing out big hitters early in game or slapping a blanchwood armor on a small creature turning it into a monster.

It begins with a simple reef wyrm. However, once it dies, it gets replaced by a slightly stronger fish token. Then when that fish is destroyed, a slightly stronger Whale token replaces it. And when that whale token is destroyed…..
You get a 9/9 kraken token that’s hard to get rid of in battle.
And then comes Ravnica and their take in colors
BTW I love Izzet with its combination of red passion and blue logic
I really like Simic, Green's savage nature, tempered by Blue's logic.
Give me Vorel of the Hull Clade and some way to give any other creature some number of +1/+1 counters, and before you know it i'll have a monster that dwarfs the Eldrazi.
An episode on the color wheel and it's interactions (allied vs. opposite colors) would be a great extension to this one.
Ravnica has to be my favorite plane in Magic. Golgari eternal! FOR THE SWARM!
"If five people all shake hands with one another, how many total handshakes are there?"
You have joined the cult of izzet asshats
I kinda wish you'd actually talked a bit more about how the colors mechanically work, and the trade-offs between the reliability of pure mana versus the versatility and combo potential of mixed mana.
Nah, this series is trying to make someone find a new passion in Magic, not trying to scare them
I'm more of a green white player. Green white is about creating creature tokens, summoning lots of spirits/plants/animals to overwhelm the opponent.
Spam's always fun my dude.
I'm GW too, but my focus is on angels, channeling the power of nature to fuel holy magic.

Nevercake: BIG BRAIN MIND MAGE
I remember when I was first researching Magic and I was deciding what color I was going to use. I decided on blue/green because that combination was the closest to strategy as my Yu-Gi-Oh deck which used a lot of defensive cards to block and disrupt my opponent until I could summon my heavy hitters.
"All of the colours of magic."
"Except octarine."

You should play blue if you think fun is a zero sum game
I've played pure blue control decks before. There's literally nothing you can do against a well built control deck, it's got more counterspells and disabling enchantments than you have spells and creatures.
@@bmobmo6438 And then, mono-red came :D
I played mono-red for a while, and I think I can outrun a mono-blue control. Esper control are hard to out-run because they have heal and novas, pure blue, they don't have this sort of things, so you can outrun them.
Yes, they have more counterspells than you. But a counterspell cost two to third mana, most of my threats cost 1 to 2 ^^
@@krankarvolund7771 welp, no mono deck has ever be unbeatable, or even no deck period... I fail to remember more than one deck that have been considered so for more than a couple of weeks at most.
@@SpookyTree255 Yes, of course ^^
@@bmobmo6438 I mean, it actually doesn't. Also it isn't very much about how well the deck is built, but how well it's piloted. To be an effective blue player, you essentially need to be at least as effective at every other color because the key is maximizing the value off of a limited pool of control cards, which means understanding the key pieces that will unravel your opponent's deck. A fairly common first time mistake with blue is the feeling that you need to answer every card your opponent plays, which usually plays out as countering the first four spells, bouncing a thing or two, and then running out of gas and getting overrun. Instead, you need to be considering how important a card is in the match up, whether it's something that could win the game for your opponent, as well as all possible answers you have for a card. Blue simply offers more decisions than other colors, and that means a higher skill cap for experienced players to take advantage of.
Also even pure control decks like Seinfeld don't have more answers than other decks have spells. For starters, control typically can't afford to be as greedy with its mana base as other decks can, meaning you just flat out have less spells than other decks do, and secondly, a control deck still needs to win somehow, which means some portion of its spells need to actually win the game, as well as card selection spells, meaning you can't devote as much answers to your deck as elsewhere. Depending on your format, there are a variety of answers. Aggro decks can generally play 2 spells per turn, which generally means at least one threat is sticking, and they can just keep getting large threats. Lands decks are generally fairly hard to interact with, especially for blue. Green midrange has an excellent array of resilient threats with text like hexproof, can't be countered, and so forth. Black can keep gaining value off of its cards, as well as provide a strong control set up of its own. Combo decks can just wait until you need to actually tap out for something and win on the spot.

Red mage might be everywhere.
But damn if shes not cute as hell.
Agreed.
But green mage is also beautiful.
Cant' wait for the 50 minutes episode dedicated to mono-red goblin
I always get a good hearty laugh when people expect me to block with goblins. I've got a Sparkgrinder out! DO I LOOK LIKE I'M AFRAID OF PAIN?!?!?
"No color is the best"
Ah, I see you've never played blue
blue is far from being the best.... unless you like to play alone..... cheaters like you win by defaulting due to boredom, not by winning the games
@@mikatu But they win nonetheless. ;P
People who play against blue dont play either
I wish you'd gone into the color wheel at the end, as I find explaining the wheel visually helps new players build multi-color decks easier by know their direct strengths, weaknesses, and allies of their color choices.
Red Green Gruul decks are my style. I live for big creatures and damage spells.
I like Gruul just for the fast smash approach. No careful strategies that get derailed with a few missed land drops. Just hasty creatures pumped up to ridiculous size, trampling on your face before your pesky counterspells can put a dent in my arsenal. Also Domri (RIP)
Gruul 4 life!
Im a big fan of Gruul but I also liked too many cards from Swamp so I ended up with a Jund deck myself. Big creatures, damage spells, AND revive from the grave! (of course it is much easier to get mana screwed)
Gruul without gruul spellbreaker losses a lot IMO.
Thank you for making this series! I played magic for awhile and was tossed in with a lot experienced players who didn't really help me learn and I grew frustrated and gave it up. Now with this not only has interest returned, but I am understanding the game better. I can't wait for the next episode!
Based on this video i was definitely playing the wrong deck too! I'm thinking about trying a white/black horde empowerment deck!
OH MY GOD!!!! Zoey opening card packs is soooooooooo cute~~~
It's like Magic ASMR.
red and green are my peanut butter and jelly. I'm a simple man with simple tastes, and those tastes happen to be Lava Axes and Thorn Elementals.
Yeeep. Go big, go fast, go smash. No matter what, something is going on and the opponent has to react and GETS to react most of the time. Fluid back and forth.
Unlike Blue decks which just...STALLS...the game.
@@fedupN Red-Green-Blue, anyone?
I love combining green and red. Anyone ever seen the spell Starstorm? That’s a really powerful spell.
Well I haven't watched the video yet so, purple
I hear the colours are LBGTQA, so yellow.
I mean, you're not wrong, that's Kinda an available alternative
Pink
Blue crossed with red?

I'm running a ravnica dnd campaign and this video helped me come up with homebrew ideas for how magic functions in that world. Thanks!
Mono blue decks are driven by the idea that fun is a zero-sum equation
The advice at the beginning is true. You should try out and play against colors to find ones you like. But also realize there may be styles of colors you don’t like that work for you
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!! Please please please make one for the dual colors as well
I was always a Green main until Ravnica came along and I added Blue to my identity. Never been competent at the whole control aspect of Blue, but it definitely adds other things. If I end up splashing a third, it's usually White.
So, basically, I'm a Simic main, sometimes Selesnya.
Having dabbled in Magic as a wee lass, this video actually makes me feel nostalgic and want to play again! If only I can find my white deck full of unicorns and Pegasus someplace...
Download MTG Arena. It's free, official, and you can build a collection with in-game currency you earn by playing a few hours a day.
honestly, while i don't really play magic anymore, this shows what i really liked about magic. it just has so much personality and detail put into even the most insignificant aspects of the game. it's fascinating to me because i love being able to delve into the mechanics of stuff like card games, and learning about the various design philosophies that get put into each color, and how that translates into specific cards, their effects, and even their flavor text and artwork.
though i suppose that it also helps that magic is pretty open about that sort of thing. looking at other games, yugioh only offers flavor text on normal monster cards, while cards with effects, or even non effect monsters that are special summon type cards (fusions and such) don't get any flavor text. pokemon i'm pretty sure just has pokedex entries, which while close, really don't focus as much on the cards themselves, but more on just what pokemon it is. (and there's nothing for trainer and special energy cards) they don't really go into the specific card with the flavor text, since often cards have specific scenes or actions happening in the artwork, but outside of magic, i don't think there's any game that really extrapolates on those scenes or even the world at large through flavor text.
hell, sometimes flavor text is direct quote(s) from characters in the story of any given plane that the set is taking place in. it makes each card feel like much more than "just" a card. even though i don't play anymore, sometimes i'll just kinda go through boxes of commons and uncommons at my local tournament store if i'm bored or just waiting for other players to show up, and just look at card art and read flavor text because it's just that engaging to me.
i guess it's really just because i love learning about all the juicy LORE~ behind the cards, and magic is really the only game that lets you fully delve into it. the pokemon tcg doesn't really have any sort of overarching story tied between all the cards or even sets of cards, and while yugioh does have various groups of cards that follow some sort of narrative such as the world legacy themes, the lack of flavor text in most of the cards makes it hard to be able to fully piece together everything. (sometimes they post snippets of lore for a couple cards either on the official twitter page or in an issue of shonen jump, but it's pretty rare for the most part, and it doesn't even come close to covering everything in any given story) not really sure about other games like cardfight vanguard or force of will though, since i haven't really checked those out.
On one hand, I do value knowledge, advanced planning and undermining my enemy's efforts until I'm ready... on the other hand, sooner or later I get antsy and just want to make stuff explode.
hi, I'm a Blue/Red (or Izzet) player.
I think of my blue red deck as red being my sword and blue being my shield
Having spent most of my highschool years casually playing MtG with my friends my favourite deck I ever came up with and used the most was pure green pure perma deck where I had not a single instant and only one sorcery and that being Primal Surge. I had lots of small critters that helped me build up more mana and work as a little meat shield until I got far enough to call in my bigger friends and it was always so satisfying when I got to 10+ mana and drew Primal Surge and just took like 2/3 of my remaining deck and slammed it to the table and said "I summon these". The deck had its weaknesses and wasn't overwhelming but it still had one of the best win rates in our group. It was so straightforward that it was just so much fun to play and my friends never complained playing against it. Other notable decks I used was green/white token deck and red/blue burn deck as well as my Kaalia Commander deck. Overall my play styles tend more often than not center around overrunning my opponents with monsters in one way or another (even the burn deck centered a lot around Guttersnipe).
Blue: holds you down
Red: punches you in the face
Nah, Red is death via a thousand papercuts... and arson. GREEN is the one that punches you in the face.
@@xLoLRaven I'm sorry, but green doesn't have lighting bolt. That's about as "punch in the face" as you can get
When my dad explained me colours so many years ago:
Red: Fit
White: Mid
Green: Big
Blue: Library
Black: Graveyard

2:21 I love how the zealous crusader looks like a christian crusader from the crusades.
Not real card I don't think
A few years ago a dear friend tried to teach me to play and totally destroyed my interest in the game. You guys are making me reconsider.
On one hand, I've always liked the "No you" mentality of Blue Decks, and winning by throwing your opponent's entire deck in their graveyard too. On the other hand, I have fond memories of winning by summoning an infinite number of spirit tokens with my White Deck.
It's all about Green baby!!!!!!! everyone forgets about the Treefolk!
Finding what suits you in MtG is a lot of fun. I enjoy red and green decks the most, and the nature of red resonates with me deeply. Even after messing around with friends' blue and black decks, which were fun, I found that I wasn't as comfortable playing those cards versus the red and green cards I already owned
I love it when any media does subversion with the colour representation.
>Black isn’t always the fastest color
Oh hey Necropotence, didn’t see you there
Good ol' dark ritual. Nothin' beats dark ritual.
I feel like there could/should be an episode 2.5 where they talk a bit more about combinations, probably using the ravnica guilds as examples
I'm not a magic player and don't want to learn it, but these videos explain a lot about the world, and the DnD book for ravnica didn't explain too much so this actually helps a lot for my campaign starting in a few weeks!
Thanks to you, I'll be getting into the online game today :)
You mean Arena right. MTGO is a bit clunky.
@@gustavowadaslopes2479 Yea, still don't know much in the way of terminology.
@@charito1595 no worries.
I haven't played Magic in years, and this video really brought back great moments of my life and almost tears! Thanks guys!!!
I would use the word "self-interest" for Black instead of pragmatism.
Looking forward to the day Magic releases an Octarine color expansion.
How does Blue play? They don't. And if they're doing it right, you don't get to play either.
Dear Newbies:
Here are the standardized terms with a rough definition for each color combination, which are based on the in-world factions that exemplified them:
1 Colors:
Black - Necromancy, "eye for an eye tactics", Demonology, Ambition
Blue - Wizardry, "No" (blue mages amirite!?), Djinn, Sphinxes, Spirits (of the wispy variety)
Green - Hippie love/Druids, Natural law, Rangers, Big Beasties, Dinos, Trolls
Red - Sorcery, Passion, Goblins, Ogres, Dragons, Elementals (of the angry variety)
White - Devotion, Worship, Law/Order, Soldiers, Clerics, 'the people', Angels, spirits (of the friendly variety)
2 Colors: (B = Black, U = Blue, G = Green, R = Red, W= White) all from the world of Ravnica
BU = Dimir - largely spycraft/subterfuge oriented
BG = Golgari - concerned with Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
BR - Rakdos - think Carnival of sins
BW - Orzhov - think mobsters/corporates that could be immortal ghosts
UG - Simic - evolution based scientists
UR - Izzet - The experimental scientists
UW - Azorius - If you gave the legal system magic
GR - Gruul - The rebels of society in a world that is the fantasy version of star wars' coruscant.
GW - Selesnya - The hippies that seek to maintain nature on fantasy coruscant
RW - Boros - The army that plays it fast and loose rather than by the book
Color combos become more about mechanical identity than flavor as you increase in number*
3 Colors: Come in two flavors Shards (from [Shards of] Alara) representing a color and its 2 'allies', and Wedges (from Tarkir) representing a color and its 2 'enemies':
Shards:
RBU - Grixis - largely concerned with aggressive reuse and abuse of their cards originally built from Unearth, which allowed creatures to come back from the graveyard for 1 turn
BUW - Esper - A very controlling/tricksy setup that originally centered on artifact creatures like Master Transmuter which enable many a shenanigan.
UWG - Bant - A together-as-one ideal that originally featured Exalted that allowed all your creatures to help 1 become super strong
WGR - Naya - A bigger is better naturalist group that originally featured giant beasts like Godsire that could summon mini godsires while crushing the opponent
GRB - Jund - Darwinism meets dragons and giant monsters that originally featured Devour, which allowed a creature to eat other creatures to become bigger when in entered the battlefield
Wedges: Had other nicknames before they were more officially coined as these clans
WBG - Abzan - Vibes like a spiritual White with a long-game of getting value from it's creatures in any way
URW - Jeskai - Often monk-like but features a lot of Blue-ish spell slinging that their creatures support
BGU - Sultai - The most Black, These guys do a fair bit of graveyard work as they dig for combo pieces and powerhouses they can cheat in
RWB - Mardu - These are like the well-organized mongol hordes, vibed Red
GUR - Temur - The odd-ball of the bunch, Temur does the weird stuff most-often with crazy elementals like Maelstrom Wanderer or Riku, of Two Reflections
4 Colors: There are really only a handful of 4 color cards and the 4 color combos are largely built to support an end rather than being the means themselves. Very combo/Jank oriented
5 Colors: There are a number of 5 color cards which are hard to pull off but have huge payoffs like Progenitus, There is also a lot of flavor in ~bringing together the people from all walks of life~ sort of themes or things like the tribal Slivers -- shapeshifting ~aliens~ that all benefit each other as they spawn and evolve an impossible army
No colors: Here you find either the older artifact setups that never aligned to a specific color, like Golems and the cute little robot chickens called Myr. On the flip side you'll find things like the (initial) run of the Eldrazi which are lovecraftian horrors that defy the imagination, are nigh-unstoppable, and want to consume the multiverse.

Blue also likes using Sea Creatures, like Krakens and Leviathans.
Also I’m a steadfast RG player. I like using dragons and big monsters in battle.
@@pendragonxt3674 too true the water folks do love their water beasties!
RG beatdown was my deck! All the funnest smashy boiz 😃
@@TheDSasterX One of my favorite combos with blue is what I call the food chain combination.
It begins with a simple Reef Wyrm. Then once it’s destroyed, it is replaced by a more powerful fish token. Then when that fish token is destroyed, a more powerful whale token replaces it. Then finally, when that whale token is destroyed…
It’s replaced by a 9/9 kraken token that can be a pretty fearsome attacker!
@@pendragonxt3674 Oh yes, I too built the glorious quest for Ula's temple deck of deep sea beasties. A little awkward, but so fun! Unless you're talking about using the food chain card in some combo with reef wyrm?
@@TheDSasterX I’m talking about the former.
joshscorcher made a series interviewing mtg colors at this moment he has done black, white and green
I started Magic about a year ago, grew adicted to it. Thanks to that adiction I managed to get 4 decks, though Blue is probably the color I use the least (only present in 1 deck)
The first time I watched this I thought for sure I'd be green. Then I downloaded arena and realized white and red are my favorites, which when I thought about it corresponds to my own beliefs on morality. I admit it's hard to put one together that works as well as mono white or mono red. It's more dependent on the luck of the draw.
So Magic the Gathering can be a self-psych exam?
The art in this episode is top notch. I find myself watching just for the expressions of all the mages in battle with each other.
Also I'm a red mage through and through
No fair! Over here booster packs are very expensive but Zoey gets to play with a bunch of them! T.T
white: clerics
blue: wizards
green: druid
red: sorcerers
black: warlocks
The cat can smell the cardboard in those packs...
Ah the smell of a freshly opened pack.
Cardboards crack!
I can tell that you guys put a lot of effort into figuring out each color and which cards best exemplify the type of creatures and abilities that are the archetypes of that color.
"For all the altruism you'll find in this [group], they have to be careful that their unbending nature and belief that know what's right doesn't lead them to try to impose those beliefs on others." This is a problem that many groups, especially religious and political groups, have.
Primarily I'm mono black, I love twisting the game by treating weaknesses as though they were strengths, such as losing life or creatures dying
Red: Damage rush.
Green; Beat-stick rush
Blue; no rush for you
White; Multi-rush
Black; Revival-rush
clearly you havent seen some of the illusion or drake token blue rush decks
Mono green has always had the biggest draw to me. Mana ramp and giant beaters is how i like to play
Turokmaster11 Same. My first deck was Elfdrazi
Ah, a fellow man of culture I see. I remember back when that was the norm and not a niche play style.
im not a fan of card games but this made me actually download magic the gathering
Everyone has a favourite set of colors and decks from those colors. For me, I like the Blue-Black, Hundred-Card, Creatureless Mystical Teachings Control Deck. It's up there with Storm, Affinity and Burn for me.
I don't care about Magic, but this gave me great ideas for RPGs
Thanks for rekindling my interest in Magic! You guys are great!
So
Black and blue is basically hal 9000
I’ve always thought of black as “You can have anything if you’re willing to pay.”
Almost wish it was longer for all the Guild/Wedge combos but thats kinda complex for new players....
I'd love to see an episode going over all the different guilds someday.
But then they'd be asked to do a follow-up episode on the Wedges and Shards as well.
How to play colorless
1. Make sure to always play eldrazi
2. Make sure to play alone
3. Never make friends until you play something other then colorless
My phyrexian juggernaut would like to talk ;3
Oh ya I forgot Phyrexian
But I’m also interested why you put phyrexian juggernaut on my playing colorless steps
On one hand, I like the idea of playing the long game, fighting through traps and manipulations, preparing ahead of time so your opponent gets caught and made helpless.
On the other hand, my usual play style in games leans heavily on "Nuke my opponent into the stone age before they can move a muscle."
This feels at odds a bit.
EC: there is no best color
Day9: FRIGGIN HATE BLUE
I first stated playing this February (Ravnica Allegiance) and my friend and I built a blue/green deck for me. Now I just made my first two deck on my own (white/black lifegain and white/blue flyers) and love it. I was surprised how much I liked the colors I didn’t even start with
When I played, I used Artifact decks...
I think you should have mentioned colorless mana too.
That will probably be in a later episode on more advanced strategies.
Colourless mana is more of a mechanic unique to the eldrazi. The same as snow mana is for snow stuff. It doesn't need to be explained to beginners yet.
Also artifact decks dont really fall into "colourless" archetype but more of generic mana since it can be paid with any type of mana, but actual devoid spells needs colourless mana
well, colourless is the lack of a need for emotion i guess in this context, so... it doesn't matter? drawing mana from colourless sources though is definitely a conversation worth having.
maybe it's like that feeling you get when you watch a movie and have no idea what the point of it was, or eat a meal that is so without taste that you're surprised it even contained calories.
Colorless isn’t a color.
Started out pure black, then black/white for a few years, before I started branching out. So those colors will always hold a special place with me.
