QuestionWhat color should I use with blue to get more creatures?Community AnswerI would say red. Red and blue work excellent together because you can get your smaller red creatures out faster while preventing the opponent's stronger creatures from coming to the battlefield. There's nothing funnier than continuously hitting your opponent with 200 goblin tokens.

QuestionHow do you know what color is right for you?Community AnswerYou'll need to play for a bit first, before this becomes clear to you.

Once you know what style you like, choosing a color will become easier. For example, red would suit a more aggressive player, while blue is usually a control player's colour.
