[@andresarancio6696]

This hit me at a particularly interesting time, as my partner and I have been discussing pretty thoroughly the idea of love as a concept. And I kind of realize now, we are in a pretty strong Black, Blue, White sort of relationship. "The condition where your own happiness is dependent on another's" indeed.

Absolutely Izzet. Mark Rosewater himself once said that to understand the middle ground between two enemy colors, you sometimes must use the goals of one and the methods of another. The Izzet League on Ravnica has the Blue goal of pursuing science, technology and engineering. But they do so in a Red way, by letting the zeal of scientific passion direct their interests, pushing the boundaries on experiments with safety taking backseat to results, and enjoying the loud and bright spectacle of inventions gone right (and wrong). I can't imagine a world where the Izzet express love any other way. It's a cerebral fanaticism. The Blue in me wants to have enough in common to make meaningful connections, but enough different so there's novelty and a chance to make myself and my partner better and more learned people. The Red pushes those desires over the edge, making it so easy to express how my thoughts and my feelings are one and the same, despite them so often being sold as opposites. It's a burning need to throw one's caution to the wind, and start the fireworks of romantic passion and enlightening intellect because true, meaningful, fulfilling love is an opportunity that must be seized when the moment strikes, else the flame will dwindle and all you're left with are ashes. For the Izzet and myself, that fleeting moment is a partner who is as willing to perfect me as I am to perfect them.

[@DuskSunDawn]

Yes, it's a way of solving it. I prefer to find an aspect of each one that can be similar to each other, that can be synonymous. I'm usually able to do it, but I think the Red-Blue combination is the most difficult combination, therefore, I'm content with finding a compatible aspect of each one. Red's Chaos + Blue's Manipulation = to plan the creation of chaos. Red's Chaos + Blue's Passivity = to allow the chaos. Red's Humor + Blue's Mind/Thought = intelligent humor. Red's Humor + Blue's Artifice. Red's Humor + Blue's Artifacts. Red's Humor + Construction/Technology.

[@Tomrash]

I feel like, at least for me, you hit the nail on the head with this one. Me and my partner are both Temur and our love is exactly what I would gather from this video, both in the aspects it has and has not: It is romantic, hot and spontanious / red. It is those long, deep conversations at night / blue. And it feels like it just has to be / green. (just do not tell her, I always say I do not believe in destiny because I believe in self-determination) There is neither jealousy nor high expectations for one another / black. There is no giving up ourselfs or making sacrifices to improve the live of the other / white. Also in a lot of ways, our relationship is like that Bruce Lee quote you had in the Temur video. We are like water, adjusting to whatever live throws at us and either going with the flow or crashing into live head-on.

[@DiceTry]

That's very cool to hear. I do think your right in finding the combination that fits you when it comes to love because like all thing we are complex. I am interested to hear what colors resonate with other viewers.

[@monkeytime3169]

I'm Temur too! But my partner is more Jeskai, so we show our love in different ways. Her addition of white means that she's more likely to keep me from making dumb mistakes and she is the most loyal person I've ever met. My addition of green means that I'm more likely to be patient when it feels like the world is being hard on us and I see everything as an opportunity to remind her how much she is loved

[@LordJudgement1818]

That Monroe quote always upsets me. I feel it's an excuse to be a shotty partner to your love or loves. As a polyamours man myself I may see love differently then most others but I think many of us can agree when you make love a commodity like that quote from Monroe you lose what love is about. At least that's how I feel.

[@DiceTry]

I think that's valid while at the same time I think it could be interpreted as this. I am not perfect and my emotions get the best of me and if you can't be there for me during my lows then I don't need you around when I'm doing well. I think recent it has just been used in the way you mentioned

[@LordJudgement1818]

@@DiceTry Monroe was being real an honest. What people have done with the quote is what I'm against. The people that say that now a days don't put the first part they say the last part because it deflects from there behavior/s an puts it on the partner to accept there cruddy behavior. Monroe was taking ownership of her fault in that quote most people who say it now simply are not.

Great thought experiment into the color pie. I was wondering how you were going to approach this, but when you brought up the fact that MTG usually expresses the colors through conflict, I just had a feeling I was in for something special...and you didn't disappoint! I loved (see what I did there) your explanations of blue and black, as I wasn't sure how you were going to explore them. But when you really think about it, if white is about giving yourself to the one you love, black is about taking the one you love for yourself. The phrase "there are plenty of other fish in the sea" just does not appeal to black. Their might be lots of fish, but they want that ONE fish...that special fish...in their lives. Now this can of course lead to obsession and a toxic love, but that's the risk we take when we decide to love someone who is centered in black. And yet one could not ask for a more dedicated guardian. Like you said; black would kill for those that it loves

[@ATG3192]

As a White/Blue/Green individual, I'd say a lot of what you said hits very true. White - In all my relationships, both platonic and romantic, I am one who is always willing to give of myself to a relationship. In fact, in previous relationships it got to the point where I would give so much of myself that it would leave me mentally and emotionally drained afterwards, making me highly irritable around others. Blue - What I'm looking for in life isn't a lover, but a partner, someone that I can feel understands me, what makes me tick, and who I in turn can understand, and maybe instead of displaying grand gestures of romance or love, all I'd need was one's presence, understanding, and ultimately their acceptance. Green - While there are multiple fish in the sea, I am strongly of the opinion that everyone has a soul mate, an individual that they are spiritually bound to, be it in life or beyond.

How each color expresses love: White: Gift giving. Blue: Ranting for hours about the lore of your current hyperfixation. Black: Loving someone unconditionally as if you two were the same person and sharing each other’s stuff without needing to ask permission. Red: Physical displays of affection. Green: Going everywhere together and doing everything together.

[@iana3892]

I agree with your takes on just about all the colors, well done. If I can add a little further from the colors of my personality (Grixis). Blue: When you speak, I will be silent, your words are music, awe, and truth. Through you, I am improved, I have advanced, I am becoming the best me. The more I know about you, the better I can love you. Black: No one dare even daydream of harming you as long as I breathe, and if they do, may God show them mercy, for I won’t. In loving myself, I have come to love you. You are mine. Red: You make me feel more than alive, you make me feel invincible. I’d do anything for you. I want you.

This is beautiful! The colours of MTG mana are a great way to discuss these topics through an interesting lens. Yes we are all more complicated but it is certainly a good starting point to look at oneself and others. I definitely love like a red aligned person. It is very much the colour of bi-polar and ADHD. Long-term commitment which stifles personal freedoms is not for me. Lovers over relationships. Connections but not at the cost of cutting me off from other connections.

[@serenarussell6031]

While I haven't had much experience with a relationship myself, I recognized my own traits in the three colors I am, Blue, Black, and Red. As primarily Blue, what I most want is someone who understands me, a symmetrical foil to my own desires and someone who brings me to my best. I want to have those long conversations about whatever is on our minds, and enrich our understanding through that. Red comes in as the passionate side of things, and the intense emotions of love, which I have in abundance, though I may not always express them perfectly. And my Black side comes in in the deep empathic connection with each other, that we would be one and the same, caring about them as I do myself. We would push each other to be better and take what we need from each other, to be unified in our desires and our goals. A Grixis romance, to me, is the burning ascent of two people who keep each other rising to better things, always, binary suns tied together with passion and goals and understanding, protective and unwilling to let anything stand in their way, supportive of the other always. But that could just be the romantic in me getting carried away :p

[@TheEdog00]

i completely agree, i view myself as grixis, and am learning more about how i love each day as time goes on, I'm also polyamorous so i might bring a unique perspective to this. I strive to improve my relationship, on both ends, for us to understand each other, those little quirks and habits, to embrace them, to love them. I strive to understand our relationship so that i can see every aspect of it to immerse myself in every aspect of it and let these people see parts of me noone else gets to see. I don't particularly care if my partners know each other, they are my relationships, and what i get out of those relationships is very important to me, and it's important that the people I'm with can communicate with me well, and i can communicate with them well, figuring out how each individual relationship can be the best for us it can be. And to those close to me, saying i would kill for them might not be too far off.

[@CitanulsPumpkin]

The main problem I had with Theros Beyond Death was that they introduced a "god of fate" who escaped from the underworld with many other dead things to kick off a pseudo zombie apocalypse, and they made her green/red. Green/red is not the color of fate and prophecy. It's not the color combo you use to symbolize an adaptation of the three fates sharing their one eye in their cave as they spin, measure, and cut the threads that dictate the lives of all mortals. Green/Red is the color combo you use to adapt a story about Aphrodite throwing open the gates of the underworld to reunite lovers torn apart by the fued between Heliod and Erebos. This especially rings true if you look at other ancient pantheons and find all the myths where the goddess of love literally threatens to open the gates of hell and start a zombie apocalypse if the other gods don't do what she wants. Of all the characters in Greco-Roman myth left out in the first Theros block, Aphrodite is the one most deserving of an adaptation in Return to Theros.

[@carlosalbuquerque22]

They did say there could be a room for a Green/Red love god, but Green/Red is associated with fate. Its their common link against blue, that your emotions and destinity dictate who you are and not yourself. Fate is integral to Green's conflict with Black, the latter believing in true free will. So Klothys is a good representation of that, a being so obsessed wth fate that she does not allow things to go any other way.

I've always seen red as the primary color of love, obviously anyone can express love and everyone has their own love language, but red, in my mind, is the primary color of emotion. Which leads me into another tangentially related topic, I REALLY hope we get another Theros set now that the old mono colored gods have been compleated, and subsequently destroyed. I'm hoping we can see some of the other gods of the plane. A mono-red god of love would make for a really interesting card and allow for a more three dimensional take for the color (also maybe with mono-red enchantment angels that have a cupid style appearance)

[@enibeni2071]

I think is difficult to distinguish Green and Red on this issue. Emotions are "primitive" (fear, hate, revulsion etc)...it's shared with all humans and other living beings that have the ability to have emotions. Feelings are more "elaborared" (they are created by using emotions and thought)..It can vary between humans. However, MTG's color philosophy says feelings and emotions are Red. Instict..."Common people use" this word for refering to things that aren't exactly Instict (for example, for refering to when a person can't find a good explanation for something she/he believe in and the person still want to validate It by saying "My instict says..."). Instict should be based on the theory of the evolution of species (=it's a natural element developed by a specie as a way of surviving, It refers to a specie, not an individual, Its origin is the DNA).

I'm actually going to disagree with you about Green. I think Green has the greatest potential for polyamory... though I'm not sure how to explain it. It's the love that is planted and grows steadily, but being over attentive will cause the flower to wilt. It's a love that involves a deep trust (not that the other colours don't) one that can lend itself to polyamorous relationships. I can tend to many flowers in my garden and love them all as long as I make sure to love them all equally. I hope this makes sense.

[@chillinon3263]

Always find this sort of thing interesting because I've truthfully never felt much attraction or romantic feelings toward others (bisexual by actions, asexual by lack of desire) I definitely relate to blue the most here and even then it's a bit of a stretch; I enjoy bonding over dreams and trying to better understand other people's and my own humanity but that's about where it ends. If someone becomes a close friend, I'll do my best to help them thrive and live their best life for as long as our paths cross, but ultimately I'm following my own road solo.

[@ODDnanref]

Jeskai certainly paints an interesting image on this. A color focused on learning both sides of itself and how to drive it into perfection. Plan laws to bring a perfect society (Azorious) while considering human flaws like greed, anger and ambition. Jeskai knows what they feel and why they feel that way. They might come to love a person and then search for ways they compliment them or search for someone who compliments them and then start to love them. Blue's goal for perfection certainly plays the roles of arbitrator, analyser, and maybe even communicator. If they don't know how you feel and why, how can you hope to improve your situation? White brings compromise and understanding into it and you have certainly heard that long lasting relationships require some compromise. Willing to concede and give up on things to make the happy. While red beings a burning passion into it. Always looking for those moments when you are having your best time with them. Either because they brought a new ideas (blue) or because they too want a better future for you (white). Blue and white working as a fuel for the passion in it.

Tri-colors seem more complicated and detailed that’s monocolors, color pairs also have the same basic nature as mono but changes slightly between the two

[@DuskSunDawn]

I loved your video and I usually agree with almost everything you say on your videos, in this case I disagree with many things you have said on this video. I'm going to try to explain it. 1) Blue is logic (including lack of feelings), Red is emotion (including love). The colors closer to Blue are "colder"(more logical), the colors closer to Red are "warmer" (more emotional). Red +2 (Very "Warm") Green +1 ("Warm") Black 0 (Neutral) White -1 ("Cold") Blue -2 ("Very Cold") 2) I think you forgot some aspects: the aspect of Community that White and Green have, the aspect of Morality that White has... White only can sacrifice himself/herself for the sake of the group (society, nation, religious group, the domain of God etc)...or sacrifice himself/herself for the sake of other thing (honor, partner, family, the weak, the poor etc) when there is a moral law, legal law or social law that says she/he must sacrifice himself/herself for the sake of it. White's sacrifice doesn't have its origin on love (White isn't Red, to care about peace doesn't necessarily requiere to care about feelings). White's sacrifice doesn't have its origin on soul mate (White isn't Green, White doesn't believe in destiny). Also, White isn't the only color that can sacrifice himself/herself on a relationship. The difference is inside the reason behind it: -Red because of an impulsive act, infatuation, love, desire... -Green because of destiny, family, tradition, maternal instict, paternal instict, survival... -Black because she/he doesn't care about morality, it's an objective, it is a way of gaining power... - (Though Blue is passive) Blue because she/he lacks empathy, she/he can gain control over something/someone... White is like Abraham (God asked him to kill his son, he obeyed, the reason why he didn't kill his son was the interruption of God who said to him to stop). White asks people to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the group (society, country, religious group). White doesn't ask people to sacrifice themselves for the sake of a certain individual (for example, his/her loved one). White values morality, it's the only color that specifically consider morality. White is the color of Religion, Military, Law, Court System, Politics, Government, Community, Honor, Chivalry, Defense, Self-sacrifice, Cooperation,Light, Purity, Charity, Strategy, Organization....It can be translated into: -(Metaphorically and literally) Sacrifice his/her love/lover for the sake of his/her group. -(Metaphorically and literally) Sacrifice his/her love/lover for the sake of being coherent with his/her moral values. -She/he doesn't oppose political marriage. -She/he can marry someone because " it will bring peace to the group" (she/he can sacrifice his/her happiness). -She/he doesn't go out with (or marry) someone who doesn't agree with his/her moral values (or the moral value of his/her group). -She/he consider the social status of the person, the family, the religious group etc. -She/he doesn't go out with (or marry) someone who negatively affects his/her honor (or the honor of his/her group). -She/he follow legal laws, moral laws and religious laws when courting, marrying and living together. Green is Life, Grow, Nature, Reality, Community, Interdependence, Spiritualism, The Past, Wisdom, Ancestry, Tradition, Instinct, Animals, Plants...It can be traslated into: -To want a stable relationship and family. -To value the wisdom, traditional knowledge and spiritualism of the partner: knowledge about adolescence, adulhood, old age, daily activities, interaction between living beings, history etc. -The opinion of the elders is important when choosing a partner and marying him/her: If his/her parents don't approve it she/he won't date the person, she/he won't marry until all parents approve it, she/he will try very hard to make the family of his/her partner approve it, etc. -Relationship unites families: when dating someone she/he will visit the parents of his/her partner as his/her girlfriend, etc. -To follow (family or cultural) traditional way of courtship and marriage. -Infidelity is "tresspassing the territory" of another person: It's a serious issue and It can lead to "chick fights" like the ones seen in latinamerican TV soap. -To value the level of connexion: communication is important for creating a project together, taking care of each other on a spiritual level (emotions, insecurities, to let the other person have time for himself7herself etc) is important etc. -Green wouldn't marry someone which job is against his/her tradition and/or nature. Red is Emotion, Mood Swings, Impulse, Might (Solving problems through brawn), Violence, Brutality, Destruction, Chaos, Randomness, Spontaneity, Humor, Mischievousness, The Elements of Fire and Earth, Fighting (Brawling), Romance, Hedonism, Barbarism...It can be traslated into: -Superficial relationship: to have s3x with someone she/he have met the same day etc. -To fail at solving conflicts: lack of patience, usage of insults, physical attack etc. - Lack of "perspective": to not care about "where the relationship is going", no commitment -To be trasparent: if she/he wants something serious she/he will say it, if she/he doesn't want something serious she/he will say it. -To invest emotionally: she/he will emotionally bond with the person. It can lead to "going too fast" on the relationship (to consider someone a partner too soon, to want to marry too soon etc). -To go out with (or marrying) someone as a mischief.

as a blue-hearted person, i've chosen to define love as the choice to continually make another's happiness a priority in my life ; i don't want to experience love as an emotion because emotions are fleeting, unlike decisions and commitments - i think my love is touched by white in the sense that to love is to serve another and in so doing serve myself, which is a touch of black ~

My friends and family deck is a mono colorless and I feel like even colorless can represent love. Think of Karn for example. When his mistake cost him the person he loved the most he was willing to die, or even cause temporal rifts, if it meant bringing her back. Ugin, despite what his brother has become, deep down still loves him.

Blue blue white love here. Not blue white as logical is the larger part but devotion to partner

[@GacLosen6556]

I absolutely disagree with the notion that Red is about hopping from one relationship to the next. Yes, Red wants love and it wants to feel the best of love's emotions, but to say that Red is fickle is not entirely true. Red wants to feel happy, and will put all of their passion into a relationship if they want it to work. I think what you described here is either an immature love between two people who don't understand how relationships work, or from someone who isn't seeking love, but excitement in their own life. In both cases, those aren't sustainable, but I feel a true Red-aligned person who loves with their color identity will be very loyal to their partner no matter how chaotic things may get unless the relationship turns toxic in one way or another. Red has a love that will go to any extreme to protect the ones it cares about, regardless of what others may think or feel about it. That's not just a White-aligned love, and in my opinion, a Red-aligned love will last longer and remain more passionate than a love forged in White because White would default to order to salvage the relationship, which can create toxic dynamics (and is part of the reason why many older generations didn't divorce, because the social stigma around divorce was unseemly prior to the 1980s in the USA, at least). When I think of a devoted Red-aligned love, I look to the Addams Family. Gomez and Morticia are madly in love with each other, and they don't care who knows it. They couldn't care less about laws, traditions, or many things a normal couple would, so they'd have no issue going through a divorce and finding other partners if they wanted to. They're madly in love with each other and choose to stay together because that's how they feel. That's the kind of love I want as a red-aligned person, and that's the purest form of love I could ever imagine from my color.

black and red *are* love

[@scarlethart7745]

White is almost religious in its love, sacrificing itself for the good of the other. That's why I don't find it as fulfilling as others. As with everything else, white seeks to strip the personal fulfillment from everything. Luckily, love is sometimes able to stand up to it. Rare, but possible. Still, the very existence of love pushes away the impact of white mana. It is inherently personal and chaotic. This does not mean that white mana cannot be a part of love, but that love dulls the influence of white, almost giving the key points to it's allies. Blue is a methodical love. A love that goes through stages, perhaps phases, with one growing closer through the order of knowledge. See, love is one of those things that dulls white mana. In this way, blue takes on the orderly part of white mana. Black seeks only reciprocity. Black seeks one that can give as it gives, who can love as deeply as it loves. Black seeks a love as personal as love itself. In my mind, love is inherently black. That's a strange thing to say, but don't we all seek a lover who loves us in the same manner as we love them? You tend to give out your love language, hoping to get it back, right? You give yourself to the lover as a way of receiving what you need from another who you value deeply. Red is impulsive and passionate. It's a chaotic love, but one that is potentially more fulfilling than any other. Red inherently holds sway in love. All love is emotional, and red is the home of emotion. Green is a very go-with-the-flow love. They seek only what is offered, and only offers what is comfortable. Green takes the lawful aspect of white, refusing to move forward until it is known and accepted. In conclusion: love is inherently red and black, going so far as to dull the influence of white mana. The part of the green love aspect being about fate and spirituality is a bit overextended imo. White tends to actively oppose self expression as a basic ideal of the color, and therefore I feel that white love is difficult and rare, but it's possible. I also feel it is nigh impossible to feel love with the absence of red and black. Let's talk about how I'm right in the comments. (/j) Also, I am very much a black mana lover. In my mind, love is inherently black. Maybe I'm wrong, but let's have a conversation. I'm also influenced by blue and touched by red and white. I will worship my queens and cling to their every word because they make me feel complete. That's why I love them both. I am theirs, and I never want that to change.

As much as white could embody the most devoted monogamy, I also think it would be the best at harmonious polygamy with a deep love of their whole unit, and each contributing to the fulfillment of the group overall without drama (red) or jealousy (black) cracking it apart.

How colors show love White: Enslaves people and thinks is superior to them Blue: Constantly brings counter arguments to their partner Black: Sacrifices all their friends for their loved ones ( or the other way around ) Red: Bunny Green: It's amazing.

In the case of white we might assume that it's focus on community would come into play but I believe when it's in a relationship its ideal of Devotion supersedes it, in the same way it would devote itself to a single God or entity.
