Magic colors from best to worse

[Minmataro]

What do you like to play. Order the five colors from best to worse reflecting how u mostly play magic.


Black, White, Green, Blue and Red for me. Even though i am a rakdos enjoyer i very rarely play those decks. i do lots of mono-black, Golgari, Dimir and sometimes enchantment or a UW control deck. I only ever touch red if i need it for a quest.

Green, Red, White, Blue, Black. Abzan swiss army knife is my favorite deck, but I'm also a fan of izzet Spellslinger. My most hated decks are mono green stompy, brain off red aggro, gruul aggro, boros aggro, and naya aggro. I also hate mono-murder black decks, counterspell tribal blue, and esper no matter what it does. Only ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ run esper, period.

All five at once. Bop is my favorite mana producer and Chromanticore my favorite dumb card to play. if I HAVE to pick the colors in order (I think it is wrong to do so but OK) I guess I'd go White Black Green Blue Red. Every color has great things to contribute so :/ at having to choose. OTOH monoblue can be quite annoying to play. Reactive play is better with flexibility.

Black, Blue, Green, White, Red in that order.

As long as the deck doesn't leave me with an empty hand by turn 5 I'll probably be a fan of it though, which means most aggro decks are out. The Rock was my favorite deck for years because it had a tool for most situations. Great midrange deck that doesnt' really exist anymore unfortunately

Colors dont matter too much to some people, its all about the playstyle they can make work. Im a creature stompy kinda person, but I am also building a Zevlor, Elturel Exile deck because thats spell myriad which should be fun to play. The only thing most magic players wont ever do is monoblue, because they would rather cut their limbs off than be that kind of trash

Playing a color does not make you trash, no matter anyone's opinion. Being trash makes you trash. Until you decide to not be. FYI played a Blue Walls deck in a faIrly large Grey Matter tourney back in the day. It was fun despite getting stomped by Pros and Semi Pros after stomping my ops for 4 rounds.

I got no beef against any of the colors. I dislike playing or playing against heavy denial, control or discard decks though, as I would like to actually "play" my cards and let my opponent play them too. Prolapsing proliferate decks are dull too.

That makes me like decks with lots of permanents and doing stuff with them. Lately I have had good times playing GR dinosaurs, GB Golgari and RW discovery stuff. For ranking my choice usually is some form of mono red, as the matches are fast and efficient.

I got some old deck form strixhaven era I think, that is BW with lessons and many cards from Kaldheim and other sets of that time, like planeswalkers and a wiper Blood in the Snow. I really enjoy that deck from time to time.

The existence of Blue makes all other colors equally inferior.

But the preference of one over another is very slight, and I play limited so whatever it gives me as the best choice is what I'll play.

But I need to play something with interaction and choices to feel satisfied, and blue (and to a lesser extent black) is the king of instant speed utility and response, so it's what I gravitate toward when given the choice. To me the most boring way to play is minimally interacting with my opponent's cards. Dump-my-hand-and-attack-every-turn aggro or something like monowhite counters where my side of almost the entire game could be a preplanned script is not interesting to me.

My favorit way to play arena is historic brawl. Favorit commanders there are Raffine, Balmor, Kaito, Rigo, Fynn, Ajani, Saheeli, ragavan and Zada. So that is White 3x, Blue 5x, black 2x, red 4x, Green 3x. So I guess to me, blue > red > white and green > black. Seems almost right... I guess I should look for a fun rb commander.
