As of the Scars block, we have ten . Or none . Seriously, and they didn't use this color pie screw with various eldritch abominations with weird mana costs.




Well, Magic has five colors that have full status as colors.

There's colorless, which could be counted as a sixth color.

There's pink, which was mentioned on one Un-Card , as I learned from someone else's post on this thread.

I'm not sure how one gets from seven to eight, but...

Then there are ten types of hybrid mana, plus five more of the form color or two colorless, and then five colors of Phyrexian mana.

And, of course, there's also snow mana. So I suppose one could say that Magic has 56 colors of mana... but I think that "five" is a more accurate reflection of the current situation. There are five colors, but they come in various combinations.

Coming up with weird ideas to make everyone happy since 2008!

I have now started a blog as an appropriate place to put my crazy ideas.

I think the point has been driven home.  If we wanted powerful, staple colorless cards to not be as powerful anymore, we would add one of the following; .  Not a Purple color.  Although I'd love to see this land,

Grapes of Wrath
Land
Enters the battlefield tapped.
When Grapes of Wrath enters, return target land you control to it's owners hand.
: Add PP to your mana pool.




I didn't know the Phyrexians kept a vineyard. Also, P is already used as shorthand for

And you know what? All black cards are either Yawgmoth's Will or Carnival of Souls .

If you're going Un-, you may as well mention Avatar of Me . The number of colors in Un-Magic is entirely dependent on how descriptive you want to be with your eye color. Hazel is my favorite Magic color.

@dragon nut- good colorless acceleration did not escape me. Not sure if a colorless equivalent of a spirit monger would make waves in eternal formats.
When playing Commander, before you add a card to your deck, you have to ask yourself:
"Is this card better than Rings ?"
If you play commander and don't have your deck[s] in the Decklist Compendium, maybe you should. Or if you're new or looking into the format, the compendium has some good advice for beginners as well as decklists.

We should all have one of these playable from our sideboards

That's only two of it's eight colours, you're wasting so much potential.
