So, since a long time I've known this book (and it's awesome soundtrack):

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Katurran_Odyss...

And I've noticed that the story pretty much discusses the colour pie.

No, seriously.

There's a aligned tribe monkey tribe, a aligned tribe monkey tribe, a monkey tribe and a monkey tribe, with only missing.

And as if that wasn't enough, they seem to be framed conflict wise, with the aligned Kolloboo contrasting with the aligned Boksii and the aligned Patah with the aligned Dourahnah.

It scares me how much potential this could have as an MTG set.

Five-Man Band

In Magic, that would seem to be

The Hero: White (classical hero)
The Lancer: Red or Black
The Big Guy: Red or Green
The Smart Guy: Blue
The Chick: Red or Green

At the risk of fanning the flames, what makes 'the chick'?

In addition why can't Black be "the chick"?

Also, Shamsiel needs to stop monkeying around in these threads.

Red's about emotion. Green's about diversity.

That just raises further questions.

I didn't come up with the names. And you're always linking to TV Tropes, but you've never heard of Five-Man Band?

I just think that any of the colors are flexible enough to fill any of the roles.

Hey, don't be down on him, it was a chimple question.

I am so sorry. 


Also, um, "Look how these four tribes perfectly correspond with the five colors of mana"? Huh?

It's more intended to be "Look how these four tribes perfectly correspond with four of the five colors of mana." Which works.
