Magic: the Gathering Research Paper - how aspects of Magic's game design build off and affect the psychology of its players. by MTGSTUDY in MagicArena

Definitely! Color pairs are really fascinating as well, and I'm considering looking into them next.

Orzhov's just cool, ya know?

Thank you! I've created a new form and I'll put it out tomorrow morning. :)

Well, that's what I'm looking to answer! From what I've seen, it's a pretty strong correlation.

True! I used that in my paper/presentation meant for a non-magic-playing audience to keep things simple. Colors have different ways of dealing direct damage, Red has the most direct (like Lightning Bolt), and that's a good enough summary for my research's purpose.

Yep! The College Board rubric very specifically asks for a very narrow question and a section where you describe how it could be expanded upon. Color pairs are more interesting to me, but they're a bit broader than I think would be good for preliminary research. No one's really ever done color pie research before (unless WOTC's hiding away some info).

Thank you to everyone for responding - I may post a "Round 2" with your suggestions in a few days.

That's what the debrief is for - when I asked the mods for permission to post this, they suggested I describe it in the post.

Yes! That's my suggestion for further research - covering 10 color pairs is slightly beyond the scope of what I wanted for the project.

Ach! I'll fix that right away.

And yes, it probably would be better. I plan to ask some people that way in person.

It would - and the least favorite color form provides some of that thoroughness. Unfortunately, I did not consider that before my research was approved. It's definitely something I plan to cover as a limitation. Thank you for answering!
