I would have said blue, but I'm kind of switching to red for some of the trick cards, like browbeat, act of treason and other mess around cards

Black. It does a little bit of everything, has a lot of ways to keep board control either by removal or bringing stuff back, and can keep hand and life dominance well.

>Blue
Fun, but I always get paranoid and hold back playing cards too long so I can waste counterspells
>Green
Love buffing stuff, and it has a lot of good draw. Bit annoying to play against. I feel like scum for running an elf synergy deck, but damn it works.
>Red
Too fragile on it's own for my tastes
>White
Second favorite.

Blue is great for everything, it's fun to play, it combines with any other color perfectly.
The same can be said about black but it has less versatility and is not so fun.
Red is fine although at times it feels too fast/reckless.
Green on its own is just boring and too straightforward for me. Only in combination with something else it's good.
I just despise White for it's theme and usual gameplay.

My reaction to spoilers is the tiebreaker when it comes to ranking the colors. I want new Red cards to be good more than the others, followed by Black, Blue always gets plenty of new goodies so I just wait until everyone flips out over them to see them, and all but ignore White and Green until I have the cards in my hand.

Everything but white.

White's just..."play white. Play more white. Hope your opponent doesn't have Dread of Night or a deck that's actually good. White, white, white."

With that being said, white does have some pretty glorious bruisers that can win you the game. As long as those are the only white cards you're playing.

About ten years ago, I would've said blue was my favorite without hesitation, and I would've said green was my least favorite. Nowadays, black and green are probably my favorites, less for the flavor or the colors' "COLER PI" aspects, but more that they both synergize really well with pretty much everything, and often have the most useful toolbox cards to make decks work.

I'll always have a soft-spot for blue, though, even though I don't have the dime to play it in high concentrations in competitive decks.

I like Green.
It's big, it's healthy, it pumps out a shitload of mana.
It's great.

Red's also fun, and so is blue.
Black just isn't my jam.
White? I like some aspects of white, like its obsession with weenies, but a lot of the rest of it can go choke on a dick.

Despite Green being my favourite colour, I my favourite 2-colour is Boros.

Probably Black, does almost everything every other colour does for a small setback plus some of their own stuff, and it has Lili & Vampires.

>White
Second Favourite, love myself Army + Buffs + Protection, and Angels.
>Blue
Very strong, try to have it as a secondary or tertiary colour whenever I can, and Tamiyo.
>Green
Been having more fun with it recently, one of the colours that I grew up with and is more of a fun colour than a competitive colour imo, and the best __Waifu__, Nissa.
>Red
The other colour I grew up with and grew out of. I noticed that Mono-Red or xR strategies aren't very complex and has pretty much killed the colour for me. I don't play red unless it's good in the draft format or in EDH as a tertiary colour. Goblins are pretty cool though.

>Why?
Red and Blue can do a lot of fun stuff, and I'm not just talking boring old same-two-damn-combos or RDW bullshit. White has some of the best support spells in the game, and tends to have the best tiny creatures and let's me access even more Prowess for great finishers.

>What about the others?
Not gonna lie, Golgari Necro-Fuckery is one of my favourite kinda decks. However, these two colours tend to wade into doing the same stuff or just chewing resources for minimal results.

Fight is pretty much one sided for Green, but what's important is keeping the game "honest", as my friend has told me. That mostly equates to hexproof-granting instants that can deny your opponents the opportunity to get the upper hand through trickery.

The color that casts cryptic command.
That card is sweet
I wish dispel wasn't so big a thing right now so I could go back to 4 cryptic.
The one with the bullet points is my favorite, but I understand if you like original lorewyn.
The player rewards promo is hideous though, fuck that.

a reason to bother drafting you in BfZ, holy shit is that color miserable this time around. I'm pretty sure this is just the worst fight spell printed ever, and all they really lack on any kind of combat tricks this time around, and also there’s really just no reason to go green when every color can have a big dumb guy.

>What is your favorite color in MTG, and why is it so?
Black, I like proactive control. Guessing my oponents' moves and builds, and hurting them where it pains most. It's the color that most rewards metagame awareness and hate-brewing.
>What're your opinions of the other colors?
>White
Is black without the willingness to be unfair
>Blue
Is black without the willingness to lose an inch to gain a mile
>Red
Always almost the best, always fucked over by luck.
>Green
Is becoming increasingly useless now that all colors get pushed creatures. In non-rotating it's Tarmogoyf, Scooze and elf combo. In standard it's only playable because it's paired with WB and for this reason a couple G cards got resurrection effects that should've been in W or B cards instead.

The thing is, green is the new grindy card advantage color to make up for the other color's creatures getting closer to theirs, they are simply getting creatures that can outclass in other ways, whether it be built in 2 for 1s or just really hard to deal interact with meaningfully in combat or with removal.

red is probably my favorite single color. I have fun occasionally sinking into the red mindset of act now and worry about consequences later, and red's mechanics not only deliver on that, but can make it viable and fun to do.

i like green and blue, often as a combo but both have fun effects pop up. black and white are usually just so straightforward i don't feel like there's much to sink my teeth into. very ocasionally something in black, but white's just so routinely boring.

I like black but I've been noticing that it doesn't get much pretty art for the color that's supposed to be about vanity, egotism and selfishness.
I can believe the BBEG in his ebony tower in the middle of the dark, rotten bog of Evilbaddeath would relinquish his flesh for immortality. I can't believe social creatures like Vampires or urban humans wouldn't concern themselves with being as attractive as possible because in urban settings beauty is power. Yet the only one who seems to play that angle is Liliana.

My point was, when it comes to B-mana city dwellers, Bane Alley Broker should be the rule rather than the exeption and I can't help but guess it isn't so because "too many" pretty girls in our pieces of cardboard is "problematic" wrongfun according to the new AD.

Red is the best color because it blows up creatures, lands and artifacts while producing cheap fast threats and stealing dudes

White is the second best when it's blowing things up and producing weenies

Black is the third best when it's blowing up creatures and sacrificing weenies

Green is the fourth best when it's blowing up lands and doubling my weenies

Blue is the worst color but is okay when it's cheating in fatties or stealing dudes

Red. Combo it with anything, it becomes good. Red is basically your add-on color to the deck. Want quick, cheap removal? Red can hook you up with that. Creatures that pack more punch than it seems? That's its specialty. Red is the color that has the one solid gimmick me know and love. Punch it until it gives up.

My opinion on other colors are mixed. Black and Green are straightforward for me, but Blue and White never seem to mix well with Red.

So long as single colors go, probably black. It's a little bit everything. Dredge, storm, removals, draw and so on.

But absolute favourite collor is not so much a single color, but GW combination. I absolutely love the creatures and art in it. Voice of resurgence, Qasali pridemage, Gaddoth, Trostani, Dryad militant, Loxodon smiter, Wayfaring temple etc.

I wonder why the fuck I did not do a hatebears on modern. Might as well start building.
