What is the best mtgpq color?

FindingHeart8

What (in your opinion) is the best color in mtgpq, and why?  This could be the most powerful, most fun, your most used, etc.

Green.

Loops for Days.  That is all.  

Gunmix25

Blue.

Blue.

Because it has the most unique variations of effects next to green or black both of which are a hot second.

Blue.

Blue, blue, blue, blue...... and blue!

Because blue.

Blazer

Green.

Green with ramp for the win!

Blue.

Blue is the most powerful color in this game, and blue PWs dominate the food chain.

Simply put, the things that make blue weak in paper magic have been done away with in Puzzle Quest.

1. There are only three creature slots available, so it's much easier to control your opponent's board.
2. Large life totals mean you have more time in PQ than in paper magic, which let's you control the board.
3. The best wipe in the game is blue (River's Rebuke).
4. Blue creatures are bigger in PQ than in paper magic, where are they traditionally powered down.
5. Unsummons can now kill creatures outright if your opponent has max handsize.

Colorless only.

My original thought was for red or white, but looking over some of the cards again...I'd have to go with colorless.

1) Eldrazi and Kaladesh Artifacts are still some of the heaviest hitters in game. (Boomship, Piggy, Emrakul, etc)

2) Outside of gem conversions, colorless is the best consistent source for mana acceleration. (Shrine of the Forsaken Gods)

3) Omniscience, Planar Bridge, Platinum Angel, Pyromancer's Goggles, Slaughter Pact

4) Anything another color can do, colorless can do (though it's often a bit clunkier).

5) So many players carved their place in this game for a while by abusing pre-nerfed Runaway Carriage, which seemed like it took forever to fix.

Blue.

Best card draw. Best ramp (sorry green.. It's so wrong). Best board wipe. Cheapest kill. And so on

In my defense, I'd probably know better if I owned it

Blazer

Green.

If we are talking mono colored in standard I would probably agree with blue, but for legacy and as a supplemental color I would think green would get all the love, the best ramp by far and away just with rexpertise and and Nissa's Renewal, arguably the best creature in the game in Gaea's Revenge, all kinds of support removal, card draw, life-gain, direct and indirect creature removal, and some of the best token generators. Also the title says color and last I checked colorless is not a color (though neither is white or black technically) 

DBJones

Blue.

By MTG rules, colorless is not a color, though black and white are (along with RGU obviously). Anyway, blue is just ridiculous in this game, though white is a close second to me, as it fits my favorite play style. Unfortunately, first strike creatures with reach die easily to removal. My current most fun deck is a Teferi historic deck with Jhoira and StV. Once I get his ultimate out it's often a total board wipe every turn plus a nearly full to full hand for StV to fill up to repeat the process. Heck, it's so mana strong that the River's Rebuke I have in there for backup removal could probably be used as my main form of removal. I did use it that way in the latest AJTH, with StV giving me match-4+s and blocking use of my abilities.

Theros

Red.

We poll should have been specific for standard or legacy.
In standard, STV asside, the best color is definitively Red. People should not be fixated on STV and opt for blue. when hou rotates out, green will be too expensive for lack of gem changers.

Blue was strongest in legacy with startled and whatnot. Deploy did not cause as much grief as startled or pig, Olivia and Ulrich

wereotter

Blue.

Blue is already arguably the strongest color in the paper game, and Puzzle Quest ramped that power level up to 11 by eliminating its traditional weaknesses. Blue is supposed to struggle with ramp and removal. But here for no reason blue has been given free mana, and the ability to destroy creatures and supports returned to a full hand. Add to that the inflated size of blue creatures, even above other colors, and the color here lacks any weakness.

Blue.

I honestly can’t believe someone said Red.

When you want a card bad enough you know the color of the card and all the possible combos you'd want to do with it, in advance. 

Your desires lack depth, child.

Blue.

I like how the colors next to the text colors in this poll don’t match at all. 

HarryMason

Black.

I chose black ,but it's mainly because it suits my personal play style best. Resource denial is about my favorite thing to do and black delivers . I play L3 a lot . Something about picking Greg apart slowly before smashing his face with a 36/36 zombie token brings me joy . In standard, I like green almost as much because it feels like cheating. Blue is stupid strong, I just don't have a whole lot of fun playing it. I find that all of my blue decks end up being practically identical.

Calculated strategic planning is not in my playstyle.

I like hurling myself at my problems, face first

True that colorless isn't a color, but it's a great "none of the above," option, and does support a certain playstyle.  I agree with you that, Teferi is a lot of fun.  Really glad the AI doesn't aim for his 3rd ability too!
