What Color is Right for YOU | Magic: the Gathering Beginners Guide

Magic: the Gathering is a game built upon five colors known as the color pie. This system dictates every aspect of the game and is an important thing to understand for any new players. So that is why I have put together this new players guide to the mtg color pie. I guarantee that after watching this video you will have a better idea of what color is right for you. From there you can make the color pie your own and express the kind of planes-walker you wish to be in magic: the gathering.

So which color or colors resonated with you the most?

[WarrickRanger]

I have been playing since 1998 and I still couldn’t tell you. Changes all the time, as I do.

When I first started playing, my first couple commanders were Jund and Rakdos; Black/Red just resonates with me play-wise. But after I began looking into the color pie and the philosophies, I've found myself to be more Blue/Black aligned (with Red not far behind) and started playing Grixis. Now I'm a full-time Blue/Black/Red player!

I love the poetic descriptions of each color. As a Vorthos and Melvin, I'm able to resonate thematically in the art but also the mechanics, and this video gives ample quality description. Even for people who don't play magic, this is great for their stories or ttrpg gatherings.

Anyway, my colors are in this order: 1. Red, 2. White, 3. Black, 4. Green, 5. Blue. When I play, I love to win quickly, with the least amount of clutter on the battlefield. As such if early game I can't achieve victory, I favor board wipes and removal, until I can be ahead chipping an burning away each point of life from my opponents.

I started off as a mono black player and while I have branched out to other colors I still have a deep fondness for the color even though I have found my play style aligns more with gruul. Sometimes the colors you start off with are still the colors you love the most.

White really resonates with me, but not to the exclusion of the others...which honestly is a philosophy of white that I think makes it so much more robust. I have played and loved playing several mono-white decks. But...Some of my favorite decks to play have been an Orzhov enchantment deck, an Azorius spirit deck, a Boros Iroas commander deck, and Selesnya Tokens. What do all of these have in common? WHITE!

White has been a meme for a long time ever since I started playing Magic, but that often happens when it stands by itself. White however, bolsters and strengthens whatever color it decides to pair itself with. It gives black a means to replenish what is sacrifices and allows green to flourish under its protection. In other words, White fulfills its own role when combined with the other colors. White speaks of unity, protection, order, peace, and believes that we are stronger together. Well...I'd say it achieves that, making the other four colors stronger when it is added to the mix.

I tend to lean more towards blue, white and green when playing, and often I'll make decks that combine those three with various benefits.

[shybard]

When I first played, I was primarily green. Eventually, I experimented with Gruul, Selesnya, and Simic. Later, I played around with white and white combinations, like Orzhov and Boros. Today, I'm mostly an Azorius player. It seems to suit me the best personally, and I enjoy the style of play. Of course, sometimes I still enjoy Simic or Selesnya.

From most to least applicable. 1) green 2) red 3) white 4) blue 5) black. Only been playing for about a year, and I’m learning more about the game and the rules every day. Keep up the awesome work, people like you keep me loving this game and wanting to learn more about it, and I will likely show this video to everyone that I introduce mtg to. ❤

[rossf]

Glad to see this channel is growing. Keep it up. You are one of the best mtg content creators out there!

Started off as Esper, but over the years my alignment has been shifting towards Sultai instead. My main colors have always been Blue, Black, and seems that the Green side of me has been slowly being overtaking White. Red has always lagged behind dead last.

[tootle_soup]

My first deck ever was in 1995 and it was a green and white deck. Watching this video was amazing. I think I’m going to create my original color deck from when I was little. Lol

[Redpoppy]

Jeskai through and through. Impulsive but deep thinker, love a flourishing quick win but always going out of my way for the long game to leave bewildered opponents only left reflecting where they went wrong to conclude that they were outwitted from the start, inspired by my design of order.

[kyleellis]

First deck was white/blue birds in 6thEdition era. Moved to Red Goblins(and ref/black in lorwynn), then red/blue. moved to dimir mill. became jund when devour came out.

Now it depends on the day. Sometimes I'm Abzan and it's all about family, nature, and doing anything for them. Somedays I'm Jeskai and it's all about me being a writer. Other times I'm Sultai and it's all about nature being grim and dark and me being darkly creative.

[chalupacabra]

The first deck I built was a mono green elfball deck. I loved that thing.

[DavidLugo]

THIS is the video I'll recommend to my friends new to Magic, thank you!

[Executioner]

I am a white player. My primary Commander deck is Darien, King of Kjeldor whose conquering armies will build an Empire. That said, the lure of Necromancy is not far behind....

[revanreborn]

Loved this. Can you do a series like this but for the two colors of Ravnica for their playstyles as well. Love hearing your descriptions

[micahhonig]

Phenomenal video! I’d definitely consider myself a white-aligned plainswalker.

[evilmonkey]

Wonderful job, this is now my go to video to show new players to explain the color pie
