DESCRIPTION
There are currently more than 20,000 unique Magic cards. Magic recognizes five colors for mechanical purposes: white , blue , black , red , and green and colorless . Each color has characteristic strategies, mechanics, and philosophies. These properties derive from commonplace associations with the colors themselves, and from the practical considerations of creating good gameplay.
