So far, I’ve got a positive response to the Color Pie Identity Project. No one has come out and lambasted me saying I”m full of it. That’s a nice feeling that you guys agree with me.

What about that wacky fun-loving color bending set that twisted and confused us players making us we believe in a wacky upside down world where humans are slave to monkeys? Damn them all! Damn them to hell!
So, instead of looking at all of the Black cards, I just too a look at the timeshifted/colorshifed cards that became Black. Why? Because Wizards could have picked any cards to remake in Black, and the played and tested these. Are they really Black, or do they just pretend to be?
I remembered playing with Sea Serpent and using Phantasmal Terrain to turn an opponent’s land into an Island so I can attack. How much I’ve grown since revised. Now I use Urborg to turn lands into swamps. Sigh. But this doesn’t make sense as a Black card. Sure, there’s a drawback, but a 5/5 for 6 mana? It’s not very aggressive, so it doesn’t make that much sense.
