    Whatever you feel like.  Ostensibly this is for PQ, but I accept paper preferences as well (they probably overlap anyway)

    My current favorite is green.  I really like red better, but red damage spells are just impotent in MTGPQ.  They didn’t take reinforcements in consideration when assigning damage values to red spells.  So instead I use powerful green ramp to give me big creatures and the much more effective blue, black and white removal.

    my favorite mtg card colors are blue/black, with black being the primary for most of my (~30) decks.  MTGPQ shakes things up making white and green my primary colors, and blue/black is ironically my weakest.

    My favorite overall color is blue, which came about from my love of wildberry poptarts

    In Mtgpq, green obviously gets a massive advantage thanks to gem conversion in terms of power. However, i think its not that fun in terms of deckbuilding as it relies mostly on mana ramp and dropping a huge creature or a ton of tokens to blast the oponent. I generally prefer building around black and blue.

    White isn't my best color, but it's the one that plays the way I like to play. Gideon1 was my first level 60, and I still used him up until I maxed out Elspeth. I managed to beat Unraveling Mummy from RotGP pretty consistently with him before I got better options.

    Blue got the most control options. I like control.

    I know the are faster and more efficient ways, but nothing beats the fealing if you are in full control of the game and have a answer to everything.

    Why isn't there a purple option?

    Always gravitated to white in paper, probably because my friends always ran red-red-red and it was the only way to slow them down.

    Here, it's probably red.

    Blue.

    My spirit animal is whatever the weird brown thing on Stasis is.

    My dream home is the Tolarian Academy.

    My favorite person is Kanye West because he Counterspelled Taylor Swift IRL, "I'ma let you finish but . . . "

    My favorite band is Eiffel 65 because they sang "Blue".

    I've been playing mtg in one way, shape or form since 4th edition . Me and the color black go waaaaay back. In mtgpq it isn't quite as crazy as paper ,but it does all the things I like to do. I wanna kill stuff, draw cards and deny resources in a way that's distinctly not blue. I'll be a black mage til the day the game dies.

    Funy that the clolors dont match the graphs

    I like green, but in combination with something else.

    red is my least fave.

    one day we'll'have green black and white or blue PW, that would be my dream

    I’m for white. Love the control that white exerts. Coupled with green, they are a vicious combo.

    Waiting for the day we get G/W/R...

    "Every major character in Seinfeld is black except Kramer"

    this had me laughing for a few minutes.

    It's quite an interesting read.  I personally love comparing peoples' personalities to what colors in mtg that they might represent.  Very cool :)

    U/W, G/W, and B/W are my favorite in paper. White can just do everything in this game and deploy totally breaking the color pie is just icing on the...pie.

    For some reason, my paper decks always wind up finding a reason to add in green to get better, which has led to some fantastic decks ^^

    Come to think of it, I cannot mention a competitive deck I've played that didn't feature green, including my death and taxes...

    Red
    Red unfortunately seems like the weakest color in Standard right now (HUF notwithstanding), and most objectives only exacerbate that, but given the choice, it's generally my favorite color both in paper MtG and this game (maybe tied with "brown" in paper, if artifacts count).

    In paper, Sligh decks were one of the formative influences in how I first learned to approach the game as a novice ("These cards are all terrible!  And what's this ridiculous mana curve idea?  Oh wait ... I see ... so that's why my giant pile of 8-mana Timmy creatures wasn't working ... hmm ... hey, this 'winning' thing is fun, and my games take less than half an hour now!" :P), and in this game, rediscovering that same experience in QB when Koth had just been buffed was what first motivated me to register for the forums, connect to the community, and get to know some amazing people I probably never would have had the chance to otherwise.
