Heheh. Just kidding. Here's a quick lowdown on the five colors in Magic:
White = law and order. Play nice. Be a pillar of the community. Healing, resurrection, angels and such. Regimented armies go in this color: lots of soldiers all following the General.
Black = cruelty, disease, death. But more than that. Selfish ambition is a major theme. Screw over your own minions for personal gain. White and black are opposites towards each other in Magic, but they CAN work together. For example, a politician. Politicians work within law and community (white) but their primary goal is to get elected and gain political power (ambition--that's black). This game has a lot of nuances like that in it.
Green = Nature. Growth, instinct, brute strength. The biggest creatures in the game are generally in this color. Green also has lots of tools for expanding your power base faster (i.e. getting more land cards into play).
Blue = Knowledge. Deliberation. Planning. Deception. Lots of spells that allow you to draw extra cards. Blue decks in Magic generally run slow, but have a lot of tools for cancelling your opponents' plays, stealing their stuff, and just making a mess of the board. Blue and green are "enemy" colors--blue = planning, green = instinct.
Red = exactly what it sounds like. Fire. Explosions. Destruction. Raw fury. Shoot first and don't bother to ask questions. Lots of spells that chuck fireballs at peoples' faces. Some spells that can blow up the entire map.
Lol! Appreciate the run down pede! In reference to your earlier comment about it being fucked now, did they get all cucked like D&D and make annoying updates to fit the "mUh DivErsITy" narrative?
They banned several politically-incorrect cards shortly after Floyd got his ticket punched. For example, "Crusade" and "Invoke Prejudice". These cards weren't merely banned from play; every online dealer I know of was banned from buying or selling them. Never mind the fact that various other cards in this game (that were NOT banned) do things like set people on fire, turn them into zombies, torture them every turn until they die, strangle them with nooses made of barbed wire, give them anthrax, drown them in blood, disintegrate them outright, summon demons, make entire armies fight each other, and in a few cases, explode entire continents.
This woke culture bullshit has got to stop. That is SO DUMB! D&D did something similar where they updated all materials to include people of color while eliminating language like "gypsy" and "native". Makes me want to puke. I just want to play my games in peace
I do not forgive, and I do not forget. :)

The D&D outrage was pretty revealing, although it merely confirmed what we knew along.
"Orcs are violent, unintelligent brutes that crave battle and slaughtering their enemies."
"That reminds me of black people! You're a RACIST!"
