Ah, so it sounds like your black.

White wouldn't want to make laws purely to help themselves.
Ooops, I read it wrong. Does it count as a 'group' if just your allies benefit?
By allies do you mean specific people who you are your close friends/servants, or people who aren't your enemies?

People I don't want dead or gone.

I try not to place myself in groups. If I have to choose one of those, then it would have to be "Red". Freedom > Everything else.

--Xvito, keeping it excellent.

Probably white, as I'm assuming you like the general public.

What's your problem? Life's all about placing yourself in groups!

I would say i'm probably red, with a bit of green in there too.
Although that does mean i end up as a dodgy brown kinda colour...

I lean heavily towards red, but have a smattering of white and blue in there.

(Nerd time: This might explain why I could never build a semi-working Golgari deck)

Maybe post a link to the articles on Magicthegathering.com where Mark Rosewater (head of MTG development) explains the different colors' (and multi color combinations') pholisophies
WTH, i'll do it for you heres a link to the last one of the 10 2 color combination articles, it starts out with links to each of the other ten 2 color articles and the original five monocolor articles.

I think theres articles for the 3 color stuff as well, but i cn't be bothered to search for them just now

http://www.wizards.com/magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr241

fell free to copy this link into the OP if u wish, since it's prolly quite interresting for anyone with interrest in this thread.

Red and green i'd say :)

I was gonna go with Red and White, but then I realised they kinda contradict each other... xD

Red, I'd have to say, though there's a tinge of blue running through me too. I'm an incredibly emotional person, and my freedom is incredibly important to me. However, research plays a huge part in my life, as I'm incredibly passionate about food science and molecular gastronomy, but at the end of the day, I'm going to do what my heart and mind tell me to do, research or not.

Because Golgari the other two colors?

I personally like Dimir.

I found Ravnica to be the most flavorful of all the sets. I still read the Ravnica novels when I get bored.

May I ask where you found the test ?
Of course.

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.
