What's your color philosophy ?

[Azraellod]

some combination of blue, white, and black. in that order.

 

[Davey Woo]

I'd say white.
But I find it hard to assign myself to a list of characteristics. I don't know why.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Red, White and Blue!

But being serious those do fit me best, but if I could only choose one I would say Red.

 

[Kuchinawa212]

White. I'm a goody two shoes

 

[G1eet]

I find it funny that whomever made the test put White as those who like to make and enforce laws, and that those who fall under Black are selfish and amoral.

I hope that's just a weird coincidence, or they might have some lawsuit on their hands someday.

I suppose I'm a Green.

What? Can you elaborate on what you mean?

 

[LewsTherin]

I play a red/Green usually. But, I have a pretty kickin' Bant deck. Exalted giving +6/6, lifelink, first strike, doublestrike and trample? Yes please.

EDIT: I'd say White. or Green. Or Red. Meh.

 

[Deadpoolsbrain]

Blue-green

 

[Berethond]

Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz. [http://www.wizards.com/magic/playmagic/whatcolorareyou.asp]​

I'm awesome.

 

[Merteg]

I play a red/Green usually. But, I have a pretty kickin' Bant deck. Exalted giving +6/6, lifedteal, first strike, doublestrike and trample? Yes please.

Are you saying the exalted effect gives all those?

If so, you can only attack with that one creature, while my sliver deck gets all those, more, and they can all attack at once.

 

[Bagaloo]

Red all the way.
Gah, the happy memories from years back when I played; I had a red dragon-based deck, and it was the second best in my group of friends who played (the first being a deck built around those mechanical thingys whose name escapes me...)

 

[Sebobii]

Green and Red seems sort of the same. Doing things by instinct and doing things by impulse could differ I guess, but if you do things by impulse it's usually because of instinct I think.

Doing things through instinct is definitely impulsive though. It's not like you think about "Hmm, is this instinctual?", you just do it impulsively.

 

[Deleric]

You know, there's a test for this.

I've never heard of this stuff before today, so I'm going on what you've said:

White - People who fall under this believe in the good of the group over any individual. They also enjoy making laws and enforcing hierarchy. Order and the government are very important.

Black - People who fall under this are selfish. They are amoral, which means they don't have morals. They crave supreme power. They find themselves to be all important.

The point I'm trying to get across is that, if you look at it while comparing it to ethnicities, like I was for a second there, it can be really shocking.

I saw that Red meant you love freedom, and I immediately thought of the "red" First Nation/ Native Americans that only wanted freedom from American settlers.

See the connection yet?

HAHAHAHA^^ When I finally understood what you meant (I've probably played way too much Magic to think they're racist), damn I laughed my ass of...! Hahahaha, damn you gave the so called "philosophies" of magic a whole new spectrum.
Damn, if that title or the first bit of text wasn't there...
White (People): People who fall under this believe in the good of the group over any individual. They also enjoy making laws and enforcing hierarchy. Order and the government are very important.
Black (People)eople who fall under this are selfish. They are amoral, which means they don't have morals. They crave supreme power. They find themselves to be all important.

Hope people won't get upset from this. Made my day anyway^^

 

[clicketycrack]

I'm probably blue, but then again these options are pretty shitty. I myself live by several philosiphies.

Glad somebody got it.
Although I know that it's probably just another case of reading too much into it.

No, i just have all the right cards i have a guy whose exalted give +1/+1 and lifelink, another that gives +1/+1 and trample, etc. Sometimes that one dude attacking has flying. then it gets fun.

 

[j0frenzy]

May I ask where you found the test ?

Of course.

http://www.wizards.com/magic/playmagic/whatcolorareyou.asp

Have fun!

Well, I just took the test and came out as white (no jokes please). But this test was kind of one sided. 5 extremes with no middle ground. Sort of what is wrong with all morality systems in games, just on a wider scale.


On a side note, I recall reading an email sent in to magic.com asking about D&D alignments in Magic and they said that R&D boils down the 5 colors on the following alignment lines:
White-Good
Black-Evil
Green-Neutral
Blue-Lawful
Red-Chaotic
Those seem like a good one word summary of the colors to me.

White isn't good and black isn't evil and blue has nothing to do with following laws.

Maybe they just chose those to fit into D&D?

The Ask Wizards where they posted that. I think the idea of lawful for blue is not that they are following societal laws and more about scientific laws. The day they posted the question was Nov. 16th.
