* In ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' there are "white" cards and "black" cards, which are powered by light/life/order and darkness/death, respectively. But printed guides heavily stress that they do not represent "good" and "evil", they can both be used at the same time. A combination of enemy colors in general can be seen to fit this trope, as can cards that are all 5 colors.

** Multicolor-focused sets often have White-Black as an option. For instance, in Ravnica, the white-black Guild is The Orzhov Syndicate, who are in charge of business (or, to be more precise, a religion which is ''also'' a business), and are run by ghosts.

*** A rundown of enemy-color pairs: White/black is harsh, controlling, and often cruel. Blue/red is high weirdness and mad insight. Black/green is decay, life coming from death. Red/white is an army, equal parts discipline and fury. Green/blue is biology, either mutation or studying new life.
