Oversoul: Ah, perhaps your comments were aimed at mythosx since he's the one who said the Disk shouldn't have been printed.

train: Not exactly true, look at Titania's Song. If there was a color which hated artifacts, I'd say it was red with all of it's artifact-busting spells, especially the ones that dealt damage back to the controller of the artifact too

 

[train]

good point spidey - runs along the lines of - "watch this, rocks hurt too... it's all natural"

Maybe it makes sense that red and green - allies, are both artifact haters...

 

[Oversoul]

Well, white can kill artifacts too...

And blue can bounce them of course...

Black is the one without the artifact removal...

Meh, stupid color wheel...

 

[Spiderman]

We know that, but we're talking if one color absolutely had to hate artifacts. White used to deal with them well before the color pie change where it got switched to green, and blue can bounce or copy them, but only with red is there a destructive "picture" about its artifact-hate spells (at least for me ) It's just a general "ka-boom-ness".

 

[Oversoul]

Well, I guess I can see that...

What of Splinter?

 

[Spiderman]

Name would imply more "destructiveness" than actually done by the card....

 

[Oversoul]

True...

...yet red has the most destructive card names all around not just in reference to artifacts...

 

[Spiderman]

Yeah, 'cause it's red. But I think it's getting away from the point that if you had to single out one color out of the four that can deal with artifacts, red would be the most hatin'.

Spidey - I'm glad you've realized blue is not a color...

 

[chocobo_cid]

Blue sub-fatally affects artifacts. It doesn't destroy, it merely bounces and steals!

 

[Spiderman]

Who said I was talking about blue? I love blue!

 

[chocobo_cid]

Blue isn't a color, it is the center of all of the Magic Arcana ideals! Perhaps my new article (PLUG, PLUG,) when it gets posted, will elighten the populace on this concept!

 

[train]

no enlightenment needed here...

Blue is not a color - period... it's a mutant refraction of light...

 

[Oversoul]

So if Psychic Venom and Power Sink would have been purple, would Train claim that purple isn't a color?

 

[chocobo_cid]

Probally not. However, if Counterspell and Boomerang were pruple, that would be a different story.

 

[train]

Purple was the 6th color for magic, don't you all remember that rumor...

and it would be better than blue...

 

[Oversoul]

I remember the rumor somewhat. Was that the one that one of the magazines started?

Okay, so if you haven't taken note of this already, I'd like everyone to look at the pictures of cards from the Invasion block. I'm not sure about cards from other new blocks, because I lost interest in this...

But check out the cards with the five Dragon Legends...

Dromar's Attendant, Rith's Attendant, Treva's Attendant, etc. are good examples. They have jewels on their chests that represent the colors of mana they produce, except the black jewel isn't black...

Guess what color it is...

And does anyone remember the Dojo article that joked about black being replaced by purple, which is more child-frienldy?

 

[Spiderman]

I remember the rumor somewhat. Was that the one that one of the magazines started?

I think it was an April Fool's joke from the Duelist.

 

[Notepad]

The first rumored color was yellow, back when Arabian Nights was about to release. People thought Deserts would produce yellow mana. Doh!

Then somehow everyone jumped on the purple mana bandwagon.

I'd prefer orange or yellow be added, because they're annoying colors. Might make blue less annoying by contrast.

Really? That's pretty funny... this is the first I've heard that (wasn't around for the release of Arabian Nights)
