As a Blue player, I have to say there are inconsistencies with your reasoning : When I look at a bunny, I just say "No, countered" and it pops out of existence, just like my friends did after I started maining Blue.
Lol it's finite because blue players suck everyone else's fun out of the experience so they get tired of blue's shenanigans and either quit or go play without them. So, blue; Stop, get some help
As a red player, it is more important to prioritize dealing direct damage than to worry about silly things that slow the game down like having a stable board state.
I feel like Noah mains green and plays with someone who uses blue, who counters all Noah's massive creatures so he can't actually put anything down to go stompy-stompy.
that and he worries black will see his big awesome stompy things and just murder them before they can do anything. black = scary, blue = annoying. felt a little attacked as i play a blue-black deck
@@googloocraft1217 I can understand why. Irl I have a card that's pure blue that not only returns everyone's nonland permanents to them, but also ends the turn. It costs a total of 10 mana if you do it on someone's turn other than your own, but the fact that it abruptly ends someones turn before they can even do their phases is pretty brutal. Plus there's ways to cast things without using their actual mana cost, so factoring in that... Blue is savage as heck.
You've made me have a change of heart as a Blue main. I'm going to throw away my mono-blue deck right now. And now... since I have no deck.... 'Jace, Weilder of Mysteries' for 4, loyalty +1. I win the game.
I really like the flavor behind red only being able to destroy artifacts and not enchantments. With destroying enchantments, it implies a lot of convoluted arcane reversals and mystical magic to get behind the source of the enchantment and remove it at its core, but with destroying artifacts it's just "oh shit that thing is shiny and is definitely a thing that's probably going to get in my way so I'm going to smash it" and boom, the artifact is gone. Much red, very red.
Yeah like what is a dumb little goblin gonna do to an enchantment? It doesn’t understand enchantments. It probably can’t even read, let alone comprehend the arcane. Its understanding of the world is rooted solely in the physical. So of course it would have no answer when faced with an enchantment other than to murder the enchanter, or the enchanted object, and simply hope that doing so will put an end to whatever trixsy nonsense that was going on.
Most red cards that destroy artifacts also shows things just get smashed or blasted. While enchantment removal in white is mostly as you said "taking the magic out"
The thing about Red destroying artifacts is because they love breaking things. Its the whole image of smashing an intricate and complex machine with a tree branch you picked up off the ground.
It's because red is also about freedom. The technological advancements leave us as as slaves to machines that we have to maintain every day in order to keep our miserable boring lifes going in a predictable manner. Red hates that and wants to break free.
Blue Black: scoop immediately, this person is not worth your time. He doesn't play magic he plays Saw. To this "person" (if they're even human) you aren't an opponent, a catalyst for a good time. You are a toy, something to be thrown around and to be laughed it. This person doesn't play for fun, he plays because his father beats him every night and he needs some semblance of power in his life
Red Blue: Better finish the game quick before they explode your board all in one big turn. To this player, fun is only had if they get to watch everything and everyone turn to ash all at once. You get to have burn spells and counter spells. They will draw cards and those cards will not be fun and will put you six feet under in one turn and there won’t be shit you can do about it. They play for fun, but they only fun they can have is by making sure you have none

Red-Green: Say hello to the kindest players on the planet, they like big stuff, and they enjoy to have lots of big dudes that smack into other lots of big dudes, because they're obsessed with P/T, and big creatures. Basically they're just like regular Green Players except they don't like Elves, and I mean who likes elves in the first place... Not me, no... never..
When the original Zendikar block came out, I made a Standard deck called Blue Deck Wins. Mono blue with the exception of a single red spell. Filigree Sages, Training Grounds and Khalni Gem. Infinite mana, into draw my deck, into Banefire for infinite, uncounterable, unpreventable damage. Consistently went off turn 4 or 5 in Standard. If I ran any counterspell effects, it wasn't many, because it was too busy digging for Exodia.
I know he said this in regards to green, but as a red player, that is exactly my attitude. Just lightning bolt to the face until they die. I don't care if you have tons of creature, large creatures, cool enchantments or artifacts, just die already.
I made a blue deck that allows you to draw 5 cards a turn, and it goes really well with a creature card I have that gets a +1/+1 everytime I draw a card. Or at least I think it goes well. I don't have any friends to try the deck against.
As a blue player, I can admit. I love making the game joyless. If only there was a word that meant pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune.
I love playing against and also with blue. Playing against it is great cuz you have to carve your way around the counterspells with either strategy or card advantage, whatever means you have. Playing with blue is obviously great. Trying to stop your opponent from smashing your face in, or a battle of the blue mages which is my all time favorite. A control deck is my preferred way to play magic and I do love me some blue, however black is my all time favorite color and the most fun imo. Though if I’m drafting a multicolored set… don’t be surprised if you catch me drafting 5CC… love that shit!
Dude I love you this was the best interpretation of magic players in the history of the universe and you're one hundred percent right green all the way
I haven’t gotten to the green part of the bunny analogy yet, but I’m calling it now: Green looks at the bunny and thinks “Okay but what if we made it bigger?”

Instead of assigning philosophical attributes to colors, I prefer to look at how each color excels at certain type of violence within the literal gameplay. Like this: Red = Exertion (burning through your resources to overwhelm the opponent before they have a chance to respond) Black = Capitalization (extracting value from as many sources as you can while depriving your opponents of their resources) Blue = Deliberation (stalling the opponent long enough to enact your own master plan) Green = Investment (planting a seed to reap future profit/building momentum to punch above your weight) White = Reinforcement (building your defenses early so that you can attack with less risk) While these categories aren't perfect, I find them useful while deckbuilding because it simplifies the colors into five key strategies that I can then mix and match.
@@americankid7782 Exactly! If you fought all the colors in a barfight, *_Green_* would back up and dropkick you. *_Red_* would tackle you and cling on your face like a spider monkey. *_Black_* would break your kneecaps and steal your stuff. *_Blue_* would run away and come back with a glock. *_White_* would grab a chair and call their buddies.
I got introduced to Magic recently by my friend and I started playing as Mono-White Commander and white HAS a game plan. It is usually just setting up your card advantage with well used board wipes, or building up mass of tokens/high power/toughness permanents. White is super safe and comfy to play, as it has a lot of really good cards that defend it (Angels in particular are very potent). Also just because other colours have SOME cards that white excel at, it doesn't make those strength any lesser. At the table I play in usually, (mostly red/blue mains against me) I feel like I am the one who controls the game through setting up a strong pillow fort and then attack from it, forcing them to do something and if they fail to contain the oppressive pressure, they lose. So yeah. White is not as useless as people say it is.
white is very diverse and can be played at very different ways Ilike blue color in general but I also have couple mono white decks and and from any color in general. the bottom line is that if you haven't played other colors you can't judge the people which are playing it. BTW there so many variations of white decks that the color alone is entire universe. And I play mostly blue 😉
Yeah my two favourite ways to play white is to generate absurd amounts of creatures and tokens, or to play fewer creatures but buff them with enchantments and such
@@donthespotter6550 No wonder no one plays with me anymore.....I just murder them with mana ramp pumped with espresso, counters, and big scary monsters. And a elf.
I second this. I main black but green is my favorite to splash, it works with like every other color and is a great second color to help mana fix your third/other color(s). It's also great to let you sideboard a few counterspells just for when you run into a blue main.
I remember a game vs my friend (he was playing blue) who would just counter everything I could do. I gave up and conceded and in return he used a "counter" to my concede, only to counter his own counter to my concede, just to show me he had more counterspells left up his blue ass
Better than countering I had a sage row denizen deck before that I'll bounce everything and all my bounce was based on creatures so doing so milled them at the same time as setting back their board state. They try to attack my creatures directly and I simply bounce them to keep them save and bring them back next turn
The reason artifact removal is on-brand with red is because red is traditionally the color for goblins, and from Mirrodin onwards goblins have been characterized by their proclivity to destroy artifacts.
From Mirrodin onwards? I think that started in the Mirage block with Goblin Tinkerer and Goblin Vandal. Not to mention, Red has had Shatter since the very beginning.
Also it's one of the mechanics it shares with Green sitting next to it, both of which sit opposite Blue on the colour wheel, which is relevant because one of Blue's identifying concepts is technology (represented by artifacts).
Oh no, it can’t be countered? Your spell cleared against my azorious control deck? Whatever will I do? Oh yeah, solitude, leyline binding, path to exile, prismatic ending, archmages charm if it’s one drop, bounce back to hand with one of three different planeswalkers or cryptic command, board wipe with supreme verdict, block with celestial colonnade or hall of storm giants, or when you declare it to attack I just make a monster 7/7 shark and cycle my shark typhoon. So scared of decks that “ignore” blue. I don’t routinely crush them or anything 😂
@@FitGuyAZ577 green still has hexproof, regeneration, indestructible, protection from blue, graveyard shuffling into library, enchantment destruction, land destruction, fight mechanic, totem armor, token armies, etc
I don't know what you said about Green because I'm a Green player and all my brain cells are used to cast big creatures, but I sure do hope it was a long list of compliments!
Mana droughts, playing against black or blue, playing against death touch.they keep killing your mana creatures, no Hand and worst of all protection form green.
i have a deck: dwarven miner dwarven blastminer mine layer orcish settlers memnarch thran dynamo capsize fanning the flames and lands are dual with exception of ancient tomb for more speed. basically the deck if going well, makes my opponents have 0 permanents in play while i have alot of permanents in play. my sideboard: acid rain meltdown anarchy sudden demise blue has hoser cards vs green. like acid rain. green is mana reliant. and cards like sudden demise can board wipe green relatively efficiently.
Why does this scream like school presentation vibes, where you were so over confident in the topic, and had a good time, but the teacher for some reason gave you a C+. I love this.
I love blue but I was in a game last week with 2 UW players that had a stack, no exaggeration, 13 layers deep. On _MY TURN._ In that moment I understood.
@@nurikhsan8821 That is true. Though I guess MtG are trying out non-artifact, non-Eldrazi colorless cards...when not overshadowed by questionable business decisions.
I just won back to back commander tournaments with my mono white deck. One articular pod I was able to win by beating each player in a different way. I have a blast with this deck!
What Green lacks in flying, it makes up for in Reach (a way to deal with flying) and Trample (a pretty great alternative to flying). The biggest problem I'd say green has is lack of straight up removal, especially mass removal to deal with the swarms, but a ram through with Ghalta always makes me smile.
Green deals with swarms by having creatures with trample. If I swing with my 8/8 trampler, you have block with 8 of your 1/1s to avoid damage. Problem solved
Fun fact: Green doesn't need a lot of flying creatures because it has a lot of reach creatures. It doesn't need to fly over opponents either because it can just crush them beneath their feet.
Got into magic the gathering a little over a year ago. Built a green black deck and haven't looked back since! Oh no! A 2-2 flyer! Let me just block you with this 26-27 with reach!
Soo..new to magic the gathering, from what I've gathered you telling me,, make a black-blue deck, to discard peoples cards & then the cards they've left in hand I shall counter when they play them. Thanks you for the pointers I think I'll have fun playing this cardgame.
Oh? Whats yours im running a flying super zombie, gives +1 +1 for each zombie i bring in, a token generator that runs off creature deaths (adds even more +1 +1) and with sacrifices (even more +1 +1), oh and 3 of the same legendary that gives all zombies flying
When I first was learning what the colors did in magic, I watched the Profs video on them to describe them. As soon as I saw the art and that I could play a deck of squirrels, I was hooked. Therefore this is my challenge against you Noah to play my death touch, flying 20/20 Trample squirrels; but you're not allowed to play blue because it shuts down my library. You can't play red because they beat all my squirrels before I can make myself look cool. You are banned from playing white because flying beats me unless I draw the one card I need. Oh, I almost forgot you're not allowed to play black because only I am allowed to play Golfari black/green. Also it has to be commander because my commander isn't a squirrel but is the reason my deck works.
I don't play Magic, but if White is about morality, you'd think it would be the "can't have fun" color because it'd have all kinds of "floodgate" cards to reflect that. You know, something like a card that would limit how many creatures with Haste can attack each turn or how much land you can tap.
As a White fan, i confirm everything you said. The convoluted 15 minutes turns I need to take in order to draw 3 cards in my Nadaar ETB EDH deck is absurd. I crashed the platform we were playing in trying to just save myself (and would have still died if didnt crash) last game we had.
I would say white is more like a Colt. 45 Because it makes all folks equal. A lot of white cards, especially more recently, equalize the board more than anything. I play White Green primarily, so my creatures are all *equally* capable of trampling you
I kinda thought whites strength is to just create a giant army of small things that all buff eachother until you make green players jealous but to be fair I'm still relatively new to the game.
It can certainly do that to. When I said it made everyone equal it was because of things like it's Board Wipe effects, which are almost always Symmetrical, or its card draw which gives cards to your opponent as well. They even somewhat recently got an artifact called wedding ring that creates a copy of itself to give to your opponent so that any time one of them gains life or draws a card, the other other one also gains that much life and draws that many cards.
Black is always by favorite because I am a fan of greater power for a cost. I like the idea of having to use a blood ritual to spice up the mana enough to get a bigger demon or more potent plague to devastate my opponent. Just paying mana is boring, true power shouldn't be cheap I wonder what sort if bonus I could get for sacrificing my second best friend...hey Chris you free Friday🗡
As someone who runs an U/W blink control deck in commander and ran the infamous Sphinx Rev never-ending deck way back then AAAANNNDD will never run other colors again because I like making people feel as miserable as I do. I agree with this, I do think I'm pretty cool, thank you.
I forgot that blue has a ton of exile stuff so that only hammers my point in more
Red is good at artifact destruction too
"The ideal game of magic for a blue player is called solitaire"- t. Blue player
Noah how do you sound sober in this?
White is also good at stax. Which just makes it worse.
I thought for red you would say “I’m going to turn that bunny into a pile of ashes.”

That's not inconsistent lol

As a red player, it is more important to prioritize dealing direct damage than to worry about silly things that slow the game down like having a stable board state.
Red in a nutshell: Will something explode already?
Stable board state? Blockers? Life total? Ain't no magic the gathering I've ever heard of, I just play the skelemental of lightning and attack all in.
Red dies in 3 minutes but your opponent dies in 1. Full swipe!
"Gotta kill fast, other colors too slow."
stable board state? more like STALE board state

This what happen to me. So yeah I was so frustrated at one point that I punch my friend. Man blue is really a psychopathe color

It is usually just setting up your card advantage with well used board wipes, or building up mass of tokens/high power/toughness permanents. White is super safe and comfy to play, as it has a lot of really good cards that defend it (Angels in particular are very potent). Also just because other colours have SOME cards that white excel at, it doesn't make those strength any lesser. At the table I play in usually, (mostly red/blue mains against me) I feel like I am the one who controls the game through setting up a strong pillow fort and then attack from it, forcing them to do something and if they fail to contain the oppressive pressure, they lose. So yeah. White is not as useless as people say it is.
Also clerics make for a nice tribal if you pair them with black.
white is very diverse and can be played at very different ways Ilike blue color in general but I also have couple mono white decks and and from any color in general. the bottom line is that if you haven't played other colors you can't judge the people which are playing it. BTW there so many variations of white decks that the color alone is entire universe. And I play mostly blue 😉
THANK YOU!!
Yeah my two favourite ways to play white is to generate absurd amounts of creatures and tokens, or to play fewer creatures but buff them with enchantments and such
chuckles* I USE UNSUMMON
Playing mono red in every format is how people remember you at the local gamestore in a good way lol
I'm a green player and I can confirm that it's really fun to summon creatures with trample
I'm a black player and i can confirm it's really fun to cast damnation and ruin your dreams and fun
I’m a blue player, and I enjoy not letting my opponents due anything.
@@gamewatch6861: Blue in a nutshell: You can't do that.
I play derevi lockdown, your ramp does not matter and your creatures will never untap.
Me like cards.
Me like big powerful creatures.
Green has big powerful creatures.
Me play green.
I think that drop of water for the blue mana is a tear from lack of friends. Add green to any other color and it will share friends with green
What if you add green to blue?
@@id01_01 that is the best 2 color combo
I think it's the tears of my opponents when I pull out my counterspell. :D
@@donthespotter6550 No wonder no one plays with me anymore.....I just murder them with mana ramp pumped with espresso, counters, and big scary monsters. And a elf.
I second this. I main black but green is my favorite to splash, it works with like every other color and is a great second color to help mana fix your third/other color(s).
It's also great to let you sideboard a few counterspells just for when you run into a blue main.
I play all the colours more or less in different decks and used to be mostly about blue, but this is a pretty entertaining explanation.
Finally, a fellow big monster, lots mana brother!
I remember a game vs my friend (he was playing blue) who would just counter everything I could do. I gave up and conceded and in return he used a "counter" to my concede, only to counter his own counter to my concede, just to show me he had more counterspells left up his blue ass
I used to play a UW deck that was 75% counterspells and 25% draw spells. no creatures. Just pure, absolute fun.
Now I play stax in commader.
Better than countering I had a sage row denizen deck before that I'll bounce everything and all my bounce was based on creatures so doing so milled them at the same time as setting back their board state. They try to attack my creatures directly and I simply bounce them to keep them save and bring them back next turn
@@amelialouma4762 You're doing Richard Garfield's work. It's important to remind everyone the value of playing efficient removal in commander.
@@amelialouma4762 Hi Satan
The only thing worse than a counter heavy opponent is a turbofog deck
When he said "I just hate blue" I started dying laughing 😂😂😂
the hatred for blue is what makes playing blue so much fun
It’s only River by his hatred of white
Aside from draft, I vow not to use blue cards in any main decks I make
@@patrickzalatoris3206 Zombie mill is the way to shatter dream
same
New to Magic and I already love this dude
As a man with a very strong Azorius deck, I completely agree with your takes on white and blue. Great video 👍
The reason artifact removal is on-brand with red is because red is traditionally the color for goblins, and from Mirrodin onwards goblins have been characterized by their proclivity to destroy artifacts.
Blowing stuff up is red.
Red destroys physical objects (artifacts, lands, creatures and pw via damage)
From Mirrodin onwards? I think that started in the Mirage block with Goblin Tinkerer and Goblin Vandal. Not to mention, Red has had Shatter since the very beginning.
Also it's one of the mechanics it shares with Green sitting next to it, both of which sit opposite Blue on the colour wheel, which is relevant because one of Blue's identifying concepts is technology (represented by artifacts).
Red hot fire melt metal.
You should have mentioned the “can’t be countered” cards for red and green. Their greatest strengths are being able to ignore blue.
Unsummon
Oh no, it can’t be countered? Your spell cleared against my azorious control deck? Whatever will I do? Oh yeah, solitude, leyline binding, path to exile, prismatic ending, archmages charm if it’s one drop, bounce back to hand with one of three different planeswalkers or cryptic command, board wipe with supreme verdict, block with celestial colonnade or hall of storm giants, or when you declare it to attack I just make a monster 7/7 shark and cycle my shark typhoon.
So scared of decks that “ignore” blue. I don’t routinely crush them or anything 😂
@@FitGuyAZ577 green still has hexproof, regeneration, indestructible, protection from blue, graveyard shuffling into library, enchantment destruction, land destruction, fight mechanic, totem armor, token armies, etc
@@AncientCampfire and yet most green decks I encounter get stomped by my azorious control deck.
Say hello to my little friends: spell queller, summary dismissal, and unsubstantiate.
I f‘ing love this Video 😂
It needs way more Likes.
This video is so accurate that it's my new favorite video 😂😂😂
I don't know what you said about Green because I'm a Green player and all my brain cells are used to cast big creatures, but I sure do hope it was a long list of compliments!
Mana droughts, playing against black or blue, playing against death touch.they keep killing your mana creatures, no Hand and worst of all protection form green.
As a fellow green main all I know is this. He use many big words and big is good so it must be compliments :)
Then a fucking Black player spends two mana and kills your 30/30. In YOUR turn.
Man's forgot to mention scute swarm as a strength for green. Literally the definitive reason behind why green is the best
Can't spell Scute Swarm without Cute and Warm.
@@kevinwestermann1001
Literally every color but green has sweepers that deal with it.
That's a weird way to say ' Colossal Dreadmaw' but you do you king.
We are SCUTEEEEE
I started with time spiral, blue ftw. Haven't played in years but I remember having a lot of fun using my brothers decks and battling him for hours
Just by seeing green i felt in love (even if my first actual deck imma build would prob be mono red because acessebility)
You forgot Red having Land Destruction as a secret superpower it can never actually use as doing so instantly makes it as friendless as Blue
Ive had a red land destruction deck for years and havent made a friend since, it all makes sense now.
Blue/red to destroy all land and counter anything that happens to skip through the cracks
@@factsandstuff2832oh satan it’s been awhile, how is the wife?
Don't forget white has it as well, everyone will remind you if you forget...
i have a deck:
dwarven miner
dwarven blastminer
mine layer
orcish settlers
memnarch
thran dynamo
capsize
fanning the flames
and lands are dual with exception of ancient tomb for more speed.
basically the deck if going well, makes my opponents have 0 permanents in play while i have alot of permanents in play.
my sideboard:
acid rain
meltdown
anarchy
sudden demise
blue has hoser cards vs green. like acid rain. green is mana reliant. and cards like sudden demise can board wipe green relatively efficiently.
I agree with every blue point instead of not understanding fun. We understand it, that's how we destroy it
Good then you can also accept the fact you people are just garbage human beings by default. Nobody plays Blue unless you're a POS irl, that's a fact.
I love how black does everything white does, but less morally uptight
This is 100% the correct assessment.
One of these days he’s going to end with “literally 100% of viewers are subscribed” and it’ll be comedy gold
I should unsubscribe just in case.
He did a video where he said that already. I can’t remember which one though, it has been a while.
21 IQ? That's much higher than the room temprature!
this winter is tough in Europe, true
@@abacaba5348 There are also people who live in the north :p
"Around" room tempreature!
Oh hey there, Snow Miser.
Much lower than it too. Would love to have those
i just started playing magic thank you for this lol
dunno if it was scripted but blue countering "every thingle sing" got me lol
I remember a quote somewhere it says "There's a finite amount of fun in a game of MTG and I wish to have it all."
Why does this scream like school presentation vibes, where you were so over confident in the topic, and had a good time, but the teacher for some reason gave you a C+. I love this.
Blue is like dumb-clever i like it so much. Drawing lot of cards and countering is logical and good but also simplw
I love blue but I was in a game last week with 2 UW players that had a stack, no exaggeration, 13 layers deep. On _MY TURN._ In that moment I understood.
The best part about being a green player is you can pick big beatstick monsters because the art is cool and still hit people like a truck.
If it resolves or it's not returned to your hand by blue.
Well, he's got me convinced.
Colorless is the best color.
Yeah, usually with the trade-off for the versitility of not being as mana efficient in certain particular areas each color specializes in.
@@GanicoGSx that concept already loses its meaning since Eldrazi were introduced...
@@nurikhsan8821 That is true. Though I guess MtG are trying out non-artifact, non-Eldrazi colorless cards...when not overshadowed by questionable business decisions.
“Blue has no friends” Simic: “Are you sure about that?” Azorius: “Also did you pay the 2 for speaking?”
I just won back to back commander tournaments with my mono white deck. One articular pod I was able to win by beating each player in a different way. I have a blast with this deck!
give me the deck
Could you make a similar video but with color combinations? I think it will be hilarious
What Green lacks in flying, it makes up for in Reach (a way to deal with flying) and Trample (a pretty great alternative to flying). The biggest problem I'd say green has is lack of straight up removal, especially mass removal to deal with the swarms, but a ram through with Ghalta always makes me smile.
Reach may not be able to go over other creatures, but I'd say just being able to block creatures with flying is just fantastic
@@patrickzalatoris3206 agreed. Reach plus trample is all that's needed
Quick a 99/256 elephant I need more samurai.
Green deals with swarms by having creatures with trample.
If I swing with my 8/8 trampler, you have block with 8 of your 1/1s to avoid damage.
Problem solved
@@zache5486 pffft, life doesn't matter
I'm only subbed because I couldn't agree more with your assessment of blue.
Comic gold dude you are really funny
Fun fact: Green doesn't need a lot of flying creatures because it has a lot of reach creatures. It doesn't need to fly over opponents either because it can just crush them beneath their feet.
Got into magic the gathering a little over a year ago. Built a green black deck and haven't looked back since! Oh no! A 2-2 flyer! Let me just block you with this 26-27 with reach!
Soo..new to magic the gathering, from what I've gathered you telling me,, make a black-blue deck, to discard peoples cards & then the cards they've left in hand I shall counter when they play them. Thanks you for the pointers I think I'll have fun playing this cardgame.
Okay but this actually helps my newbie ass understand the colors better
As a player with a black-blue combo deck, I can honestly say that this was accurate.
Oh? Whats yours im running a flying super zombie, gives +1 +1 for each zombie i bring in, a token generator that runs off creature deaths (adds even more +1 +1) and with sacrifices (even more +1 +1), oh and 3 of the same legendary that gives all zombies flying
right? I play Ninjutsu Ninjas and that is very fun but, very difficult with all the decks out there. 🥷🏻
@@SILENTASSASSIN12 yeah your only hope is vs green and big creatures if your able to drop more mana faster then s/he can
As someone who has liked black from the day he started playing MTG. I was very happy black was appreciated this much. Thank you for your love.
My favorite color combination is white black, so by combining the two...MY DECKS ARE SCARINGLY USELSS!!
2:01 this is the greatest slide of anything ever created and so true to reality that it deserves a round of applause.
When I first was learning what the colors did in magic, I watched the Profs video on them to describe them. As soon as I saw the art and that I could play a deck of squirrels, I was hooked. Therefore this is my challenge against you Noah to play my death touch, flying 20/20 Trample squirrels; but you're not allowed to play blue because it shuts down my library. You can't play red because they beat all my squirrels before I can make myself look cool. You are banned from playing white because flying beats me unless I draw the one card I need. Oh, I almost forgot you're not allowed to play black because only I am allowed to play Golfari black/green. Also it has to be commander because my commander isn't a squirrel but is the reason my deck works.
So you want to play against eldrazis then
3:38 I died. But I guess that's what black does best.
White a hard counter to black.
I don't play Magic, but if White is about morality, you'd think it would be the "can't have fun" color because it'd have all kinds of "floodgate" cards to reflect that. You know, something like a card that would limit how many creatures with Haste can attack each turn or how much land you can tap.
Damn that was unbiased.
As a White fan, i confirm everything you said. The convoluted 15 minutes turns I need to take in order to draw 3 cards in my Nadaar ETB EDH deck is absurd. I crashed the platform we were playing in trying to just save myself (and would have still died if didnt crash) last game we had.
I love grixis (blue, black, red), so does that mean I'm fast, scary, and unfun?
Yes
Do you feel that way?
Grixis is the color of Bolas... You tell me
Nah you're just evil.
The I.Q bit to Celsius was amazing😂
As a blue player, there is a finite amount of fun to be had in any given game of magic. I have resolved to have all of it.
I love this minimal effort, low budget stuff that is still educational and funny. great jorb hamstray!
JAAAEERROORRRAAAERRRRBB!
I would say white is more like a Colt. 45
Because it makes all folks equal.
A lot of white cards, especially more recently, equalize the board more than anything.
I play White Green primarily, so my creatures are all *equally* capable of trampling you
I agree I play a swamp white
I kinda thought whites strength is to just create a giant army of small things that all buff eachother until you make green players jealous but to be fair I'm still relatively new to the game.
It can certainly do that to.
When I said it made everyone equal it was because of things like it's Board Wipe effects, which are almost always Symmetrical, or its card draw which gives cards to your opponent as well.
They even somewhat recently got an artifact called wedding ring that creates a copy of itself to give to your opponent so that any time one of them gains life or draws a card, the other other one also gains that much life and draws that many cards.
We used to test our decks against just all lightning bolts and mountains.
Just like Garfield intended
I am sobbing 😂🤣🤣 this is so funny!
Black is always by favorite because I am a fan of greater power for a cost. I like the idea of having to use a blood ritual to spice up the mana enough to get a bigger demon or more potent plague to devastate my opponent. Just paying mana is boring, true power shouldn't be cheap
I wonder what sort if bonus I could get for sacrificing my second best friend...hey Chris you free Friday🗡
I play black to boardwipe his creatures and it makes me giggle with glee when he loses his shit at me.
I'm a blue main and while everything you said is true it still hurts.
As someone who runs an U/W blink control deck in commander and ran the infamous Sphinx Rev never-ending deck way back then AAAANNNDD will never run other colors again because I like making people feel as miserable as I do. I agree with this, I do think I'm pretty cool, thank you.
The ending had me alive😂😂😂
“ I am the bunny, I am SPEED”, losed it so hard on that one
