So I got to know what kind of Planeswalker are you?

It's also worth noting that you don't need to only pick one color - tons of players like to go with whatever colors vibe with them that day! Playing many different decks is one of the best ways to find out what style of play works best for you.

Don't mind me, just enjoying the art, cards and yet another great way to explain the colors. Great video buddy!

The thing about the color pie is that I feel I relate with every color in one way or another. Nothing really represents me because everything represents me. I guess red would be the core though as my consistency is inconsistency.

Thank you for breaking it down in terms of what the colors represent. I’m new to magic, but I’m approaching this game like any other. I want to play a character/deck that I like, mechanics be damned.

For me, I'm probably primary white with green and black as secondary colors. I'm concerned with making a world where everyone can be safe and thrive, and i believe that part of that includes taking care of nature and fulfilling our part in this world. But i also recognize that to accomplish that, you need to gain power and influence, and you can't be afraid to use the resources at your disposal.

This game changed my life. Not the same since. Great memories with friends!

The answer is black, black is honestly the best place for newbies to start, it teachs you alot of important lessons about the game notably life is just a resource and the only one that matters is the last one, and that if you can sac a creature to gain real advantage you should

I love this. I am going to show this to other people I want to get into magic--like my wife.

As someone who's always favored monored, i really adore the way you described the color, and I'll def be using this vid whenever someone wants to learn abt the color pie

After playing yugioh for 12 years i finally decided to hop on arena and try to learn

My first deck was green. My second was Black White. My personal preference is White Blue My main deck is 5-color mill.

I dont really play Magic - but I enjoy this colorsystem for my DnD Characters and my worldbuilding projects. You can build just the perfect characters and faction with these colors and always know their mindset

Just started playing recently, and I'm loving Black/Red combo

I am experienced in learning the color pie. I say this is a good video to sum up the colors. There are values and mechanics. I already know where I stand. When I first got into MTG, I figured out I was blue and Izzit. When I dug deeper in the DiceTry channel, I figured out that I was also Jeskai.

I have just started playing the game and I've played only three or four matches. This video came in handy.

I like the new words and the first edits were really cool too! Also Red

It's the channel I have searched for! I thought about magic colour theory for quite a long time... So, I am exited to watch videos on this topic. It's the first video and there are so much things I want to watch! Thank you.

Thank you for this video! Got into mtg yesterday but this helped me a lot to understand it!

My white green angel deck is my baby. I also love green black haha 🤣 anything with a side note of green for that mana ramp

This video it’s amazingly well done!

Very much enjoy your videos everyone of them. Keep up the great work

I just started playing Magic a couple weeks ago and I got the Chaos Incarnate deck 😁. I absolutely love the black and red combo! 🖤❤️

I just played magic right out of a starter deck. Got a Green-White deck and had a blast

This helped soooo much! Thank you!

For me, my first combination was red and blue, it's super balanced and fun

I absolutely love Black, it has my favorite flavor and art. However I do also like Blue, Green, and White in that order. I very much like the idea of being an unrestricted and ambitious Planeswalker, and with my favorite color combination as Sultai. I love utilizing the power of Green and Blue, and accept that with life comes death, with death comes life again. An unexpected color combination I've come to start liking a lot is Mardu. I don't particularly vibe with Red but when mixed with White and especially Black, it becomes a great color combination with an order of aggression and ruthlessness

Izzet all the way baby. I just love the combination of removal and counters.

If you're a beginner... green. That's the answer. After you get the hang of it go green + red or green + red + blue.

Thank you, I think I want to play as a combo of green/blue

I think I was taught how to play (in 1999) on a red deck. Ultimately played a green deck but tried to make a white deck and some multicolored deck. My Green was better. I will still never forget the old art work of Wrath of God. Love it.

What were the three backgrounds you used for Green? Didn’t recognize those cards. I think one is Nissa?

Quick question: what is that card/art at the start of the green section with the person summoning the leaf-wolf? Because that pic is dope. Also red is definitely my top vibe with green and blue vying for a close second place.

It's not because he's op It's not because he's op It's not be- OKO FITS MY SLICE OF THE PIE

Excellent

I'm a beginner and i think im going to start with buying singles and making a custom deck. I'm thinking of focusing on green.

Black and red it's amazing

I think U/G fits me, but I am uncertain. They are opposing forces or a duality in many ways. I often relate myself to a pendulum, going from one side to the next, but at the same time, seeking balance between the 2. My truth-seeking nature causes me to question everything, all the way down to the core of who I am, which is a problem sometimes, cause while I know who I am, I question if I know who I am...then I realize I probably don't know who I am. There are times when I rely on other's experience of me to get a better understanding of who I am outside of my own ridiculous brain.

As an beginner, i like the goblin-theme-deck. It reminde me at Yugioh. It is fast, it have search and drawpower(i think). And in this big jungle of tenthousands of cards, i dont need to search at every angel for cards who give me draw-power. I can keep it simple, looking at one theme and can deal lethal damage with the creeps, but also with spells. Buut at MtgArena i dont drwa any core goblins. Or dont realy know where to buy/search it.

Dimir information, assasins and rogue I don't sure about myself but I love idea

black and blue, play them if you want everyone to hate you

I watch this video like 3 times a week Bant is my preference

When I first decided to make a legit mtg deck I used a pretty valuable tip which was sticking to one or teo colors. It helps narrow down your options. The first deck I made was a mono red aggro deck. What about you guys?

keeo going man..you are lovely

great video

9th edition was the one that got me hooked. If you can get your hands on the 9th edition Core Set decks, then you’ll have a great understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of each color. That particular core set also introduces players to some of the basic mechanics of the game without being overly complicated like some of the newer stuff does (Planeswalkers and downright dumb cards like double sided, alternate design and split cards 🙄). It’s just the basics, nothing more. Those decks also were only 40 cards so they had room for you to add 20 more to tailor your deck. If those 20 weren’t enough, you could start omitting some from the original deck. They evolved easily enough with new players as they came to understand the game more and more. And to this day cards like Master Decoy will annoy the hell out of anyone…😇

I am solidly orzhov. White and black have always been two of my favorite colors. Though red and green feel like they could be a solid third color.

Im a mono black player do you have any tips for someone trying to make a 2 color deck?

Red and white check a lot of my personal boxes. Of course the two least appreciated colors by Wotc, but still they define me to my core.

Which card was the helmed ogre looking guy under red?

This is great

What’s the piano piece in the first ten seconds of the video from?

What music was playing during black?

Question, with 'Control the Multiverse', how many players have replaced the art with Dr. Strange?

Good explanation but I'd just like to point out that what colour a player's values most closely align with often isn't actually the colour they'd most enjoy. The one that jumps out at me most is blue, because, to be able to play a blue deck well, you have to be able to think very quickly about what you want to do (due to the massive amount of cards in your hand and spells you can play at any given moment) which is in direct opposition to the "slowly mulling over your options" approach blue is supposed to represent. And imo this opposition persists in the other colours too - the "slower" a deck is, the faster you have to be able to think to play it. Ideology-wise, I align most closely with blue, so I play black, because I find that best supports my slow strategic planning approach, much better than blue does.

I'm more the kind to turbo out big creatures and go bonk, so I guess Green/Red and maybe some black is what i'd play.

I have been getting into magic recently and have found myself vibing with Red and Green. While these may seem to run counter to each other I disagree, nature can be calm and peaceful at times beasts care not and live on their instincts. I'm particularly drawn to the werewolves of Innistrad, in touch with nature but animalistic fury bubbles just beneath the skin. The Green guides while the Red brings strength.

Stil trying to figure out where I should start for my very first deck

Short simple answer is generally the White, Red, and Green are great colors to start with. Blue and black cards can be a little confusing for beginners.

GRUUL IS COOL 🤘

How do I know what deck to start with??

dude the drum track in the background is driving me mad

Would green and black mixed be viable?

I'm Temur (Blue Red Green) with a focus on Izzet (Blue Red).

Best colour to play MTG is green. Because Dollars are green. And you will need a lot A LOT of this resource. So choose green.

I am so glad growing up with magic without the Internet

Also pick the mechanics and strategy that you enjoy playing.

I prefer black and combinations of black. My fave decks are mono or dimir besides colorless and thats a whole different can of worms

As a started knowing almost nothing id pick a mono red deck even if i seem to like green better, like the forest theme, the more mana thing, a little more draw...

It’s funny. I was given two decks by my stepbrother for Commander- one Osygyr (Red and White) and Veyran (Blue and Red). I HATE playing Osygyr. He’s a good card, his deck is good. But I hate his playstyle. I gave Veyran a try, and it was an INSTANT change. She’s why I have spent so much money even though I have only been playing a week or two. I bought another pre-built commander, but I haven’t even touched it because Veyran feels so good to me.

It's hard to summarize my ideals with typical language, as the four-color combos don't really have names. I guess technically I could be called Glint-Eye, after the nephilim without white, but no-one ever says that. I'm more like Grixis with a splash of green than anything else, in descending order of Blue, Red, Black, and then Green. I sure can't vibe with white though, hate that

ME LIKE GREEN BLACK AND WHITE :D me like counters, and big ! and lot of mana so yeah... Green. hahaha.

Which one has the most dragons

The easiest way as an absolute begginner is by going with which color you have the most land cards for

Black and Green all the way

When did black become purple?

and after you have ur own loved deck, you played magic arena and now you play meta decks.

My 2 favourite collors are red and green but i hate gruul😂

If I had to pick 1 color i am team green all day long. 2 colors I'm simic (though Gruul is close), 3 colors I'm obviously temur.

I'm gonna take a hard left here- if you're new to the game, don't pick a color over the others. Play as many different kinds of decks as you possibly can. Figure out what you like to do in the game and select the colors you need to make that happen, no matter how many or how few colors that takes.

I’m centered on white, but ultimately I am an Ink planeswalker, I only lack the brutality of black in my soul

Just started playing on my tablet I feel like I’m in limbo between black and white

One thing I would say is that there's always exceptions to every rule almost in the game of magic.

1.5 x helped me watch this . 😊

When I first tried, red was said to be aggressive. So I tried it. It did not feel aggressive, it just felt like there was no plan just attack and hope you dont die. Green is Aggressive, red is just impulsive. Red, green and blue is a good balance.

I'm Bant with huge focus on Green

I’m someone who’s never played Magic but loves playing Marvel Snap. I mainly play cards like Carnage Angel Nova Bucky Barnes Wolverine Killmonger Deathlok and so on. I like destroying cards. I feel like Black is my best bet. But was wondering if any players who played both Marvel Snap and Magic had any thoughts on it.

I have watched probably 3-4 hours worth of content on picking the best color. What I've gotten from that fact alone is I am NOT red lol. Impulse? What is that?

My top are - 1 White 2 Simic 3 Bant

Mardu for life Boros Rakdos Orzhov Mono of each Aggro, aristocrat and tribals Tribal angels, knights, dragons, and vampires

When I started I though blue is my colour because I just like blue as a colour itself. Then I realized blue inhabits the most toxic and detrimental playstyle of all the colours and hate it ever since. What point is there playing a game with somebody if the whole point of your plays is that the other player can't play (counterspells, milling crazy fast, skiping the opponents turn, bouncing) I am a mostly green player now as I feel that is how the game should be played, paired with some red, some black and rarly white but avoid blue like the pague and concede when the first counterspell is cast. As I have no buisness in just watching someone else play.

I'd say red tends to be my least favorite overall, I don't really enjoy the style of creatures, same with white, to an extent I don't enjoy playing small creatures, I want big creatures and control spells, and buffs to make the creatures even bigger 😁

When this tells me that I'm clearly Grixis but I play nothing but Jund 😅

Nice explanation. However it's would be nice to show, for the "lore" point of view, that while it's true that most of the white creatures are good ones and black are bad ones, this is not the full explanation. White being the color of the order and balance means also that some white creatures acts to bring that order no matter what, banishing from a city, land or even a plane any creature that, even if not a real threat, would not 100% obey to that order, acting as a fanatic and radical (a good comparison would be the crusades or the inquisition during the end of Middle age/first part of Reinassance). The fact that the second best colour for a control deck (after the obvious blue) is white is a game reflection of this In the opposite, black being the colour of "selfishness", "amorality" and "the end justifies the means" lead to many evil creatures and spells being black. However black creatures can be good as the others, with the only difference of being more pragmatic. I am the first person to give a lot of value to feelings and a moral code, but a certain degree of pragmatism is needed, since some times the white way could lead to some sort of oligarchy, or is some unreal utopy. Also i would say that in some limited measure, selfishness sometimes could lead to a self-growth. The main difference between the properties of the 2 colours (or even all the colours) is how far can you push some quality before crossing the line, making that a "flaw" or "fault"

*cough* Only came here for red

Philosophically, I'm with red. Gameplay, I'm with white/green.

White: Always Blue: Seldom Black: Never Red: Frequent Green: Moderate

What would colorless mean?

“The Blackest Night falls from the skies, The darkness grows as all light dies, We crave your hearts and your demise, By my black hand-The dead shall rise!” Black all the way!

As lgbt i feel related to the werewolves of innistrad (gruul). You become an outcast for a difference you were bornt with and didnt choose, but eventually you decide to embrace that difference. Also i love animals 🥰
