Magic: The Gathering/Analysis: Difference between revisions

* BLUE: White and Blue are allies because they both believe in the common good and in creating improvements in the world, Blue through science and White by focusing on the public good. Having said that, White accomplishes this by implementing laws and regulations, whereas Blue uses technology to improve individuals; one offers police officers, the other plastic surgeons. White and Blue tends to have a lot of "answers;" almost any spell you can play, White and Blue can interfere with somehow. Having said that, Blue tends to strike pre-emptively with [[Anti-Magic|counterspells]] whereas White uses [[Power Nullifier]]s after the fact. Plus, counterspells are ''expensive''; White's answers are cheaper but, like most Power Nullifiers, can be removed again, or [[Balance Between Good and Evil|give you something to compensate for your loss]] if it results in a permanent change.

** White/Blue are also the colors of community and society. The laws of white united with the rationality of blue. However Blue/White is the color of [[Lawful Neutral]] and [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]], examples the Azorius in Dissension and the Vogons from ''~The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy~''.

** Ozymandias in [[Watchmen]]. He mixes Blue rationality, {{spoiler|deception}} and praticality with White altruism {{spoiler|and [[Knight Templar]] thinking}}.

** Zeus in [[God of War (series)|God of War]] is a perfect White/Blue villain; much like the kithkin from the Shadowmoor setting and the Azorius (and specially Augustin IV) from [[Magic: The Gathering/Ravnica Cycle|Ravnica]], he is duplicious, [[Light Is Not Good|taking the guise of a benevolent, noble ruler while being a paranoid, obsessive]] [[Complete Monster|monster]] on the inside.
