After you have determined what method you are going to employ to defeat your opponents, it is time for you to determine your favorite Mana Color. Long time ago the abilities you can find in each Mana Color are exclusive, meaning you cannot cast spells of red Mana if you only have black Mana. But now there are some Sorcery, Enchantment or other spells which are shared by different Mana Colors. But it usually cost you more to cast spells that originally belong to another Mana Color and also more limitations and requirements are imposed.
Magic cards are separated by 5 different colors: White, Black, Green, Red and Blue. Cards of the same color have inherent empowering effects on each other. One ability would make the other stronger. On the other hand, cards with different colors would impose limitations on each other when used together.
Due to the inherent effects of same color cards, some may think that a deck must be build with cards of one color only. But in fact, the game is designed in such an intelligent way that multi-color deck can also very powerful. Each color has its own style of attack. A single color deck may be more predictable and this decreases its chance of winning. Also, a single color deck can only use abilities of its own and miss out the strengths of other colors.
However, this situation is changing over time because there are always new cards being born which would give hope in balancing the forces. One Mana color is able to spend a little extra cost to utilize abilities of another.
A multi-color deck is not so easy to handle well. Blindly mixing many different color cards would bring yourself into the worst situation possible because the chance of getting bad draws greatly increases. Like the situation when you have black lands producing black mana only but all cards in your hand are white. You will be sitting and waiting for death.
Finally, we know that multi-color deck can be very powerful in the sense of the diversity of attacks and the combination of the advantages of each color, but the skill level required to do it well is high. We recommend beginners to first stick with single colored deck first. Once you learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of different mana colors and the possibilities of combining them. You may go ahead and build your first multi-color deck. But remember that these kind of multi-color magic cards are not cheap!
