I prefer destructive magic, so black.

Red, I like to stab things and also use some spells.

Green and red. Spam wolf tokens and win.

My mage color is purple:

So we're talking M:tG here? Or is "Green Mage" a class they introduced into Final Fantasy after I stopped giving a shit about the series?

In terms of FF magic, I probably go Red (or even full White) - my playstyle in most games where you can build a character without being locked into a specific class is to either make a melee bruiser who can heal, or a mostly melee-centric character with minor offensive and utility magic but a strong emphasis on healing. It's very, very rare that I play anything with anything resembling magic and my first few spells aren't healing (even in D&D, I gravitate to the Divine Soul Sorcerer, because they get Cleric spells in addition to the usual Sorcerer spells).

In Magic my first ever deck was a black/white one (built around using Pestilence and CoPs, which I called my White Plague deck), though I eventually settled into a Black/Red burn deck (which I called the Hellfire deck). In spite of that being "my thing" for like almost 20 years, I've actually recently sort of switched to a White/Red burn deck with more emphasis on healing (though I've also got a White/Black vampire deck with a couple infinite damage combos baked in).

Though in terms of the Magic setting itself, I'd almost certainly be a Blue card, or maybe a Blue/White multicolor. Because that tends to reflect how I think and strategize more than any of the other colors.

Black looks the best for wearing but got to vote red. Hate to be useless in combat

I casts the spells that makes the peoples fall down!

I like the idea of blue magic using monster abilities and stuff, but in practice it's always gimmicky and never very strong in game. Like in ff9 quina got water breath and it seemed to have a 95% miss rate.

I picked Blue Mage 'cuz Final Fantasy, which would probably be Green in MtG

I remember when my distant cousin from down south in Georgia invited me to visit him and his White Mage club.
---

Main Black Mage in FF14 so that one
---

Red Mage. Being a spellwarrior/swordmage that can use white and black magic.

---

Whichever one gets the chicks!

---

whichever grants immortality
---

White mage power! Killing with kindness since day 1!
---

Red mage. I'm always fond of jack of all trades types. Jack of all trades master or none but better than a master of just one.

Plus final fantasy 1 style red mage looks like a pimp so extra points for that.

Blue wizard is about to die.

I'd argue it would probably be Blue in M:tG.

Taking an enemy's power and using it yourself seems like it would have to be a card mechanic where you steal or control another player's cards, and that's blatantly Blue. Steal, copy, control, and clone are all effects almost exclusively on Blue cards.

I would say TC is still referring to FF mages since 'Green', though exceedingly rare and usually confined to buffs/debuffs, is a legit FF magic type. It's just that most games roll its spells into white/black magic most of the time. In Tactics A2 Green Mages were a legit class though. So you have white/black mages (obv), Red (the mix mage), Blue (learning enemy abilities), and green (buff/debuff).

Learning from monsters and using that knowledge to destructive (and sometimes defensive/curative) effect has long appealed to me, which puts me in Blue Mage camp.
