  • The Slicing the Pie Series is the most popular series on my channel and a series that is like nothing out there, as no one else covers the shards and wedges like I do. Because of that I wanted to celebrate by providing you all with a premiere viewing experience of the series. If you are new to the color pie or a returning fan I think you will enjoy this format. I will have timestamps below that way you can jump around to which ever slice of the color pie you are interested in.

    Just discovered your channel recently and am really enjoying your colour philosophy work. It's even helped me to better understand and appreciate what I value as I apply real life experiences to the colour pie. I've come to the conclusion that I'm Jeskai aligned, and i think that the exclusion of Green mana is more of a concession to the conceptual premise of wedges than it is a reflection of Jeskai philosophy. The combination of Red and Blue, both colours synonymous with natural forces and elements, mean that Jeskai is capable of finding wisdom, beauty and inspiration in understanding nature, even if we are circumstantially or philosophically inclined to stand apart from it. This is because Green has certain virtues that are compelling to both sides of the wedge. On the other hand, Black, with its more nihilistic implications, appeals primarily to the outlier, particularly if you lean into the creative and aspirational aspects of the Blue-Red pairing. After all, the addition of White begs the question: What is the point of creation, if the only one edified by it is yourself? Love the content and I hope to see you in my notifications again soon.

  • @ingvalder9946
    @ingvalder9946 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like your analysis on the wedges, but I'd like to provide a counterpoint to your methodology: the apex beasts.
    Each of the apex beasts is (pun intended I'm sure) centered in it's "apex" color, not the allied pairing. This can be seen in all of them, but especially Brokkos (Sultai), Apex of Forever and Nephroi (Abzan), Apex of Death, which much more strongly manifest green than Dimir and black than Selesnya, respectively.
    I think you could argue these are just outliers, but personally I really like the idea of Sultai Brokkos represents more than a Dimir based one.
    With stuff like Mythos of Brokkos, I personally interpret that Sultai is green stripped of concern for the here and now. It's like the inverse of Naya--instead of being passive, but flaring up when it perceives a threat to the ecosystem, this version of Sultai sees all organisms, including humans, viruses, whatever, as fulfilling their natural roles when they expand and contract. It's not bothered by population explosions or extinctions, technological development or anything, because it has the perspective that self-survival (black) and change/detachment (blue) are integral parts of the natural order (green), and that the system will outlive all it's components in the end.
    As you can probably guess, I'm a Sultai fan.

  • @jbpeony7872
    @jbpeony7872 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think somethings missing on the Grixis interpretation. The aspect i find appealing in Grixis is Red and Blues desire to experiment and create combined with Black's disregard for convention and morality. Its finding beauty in the grotesque, its pain as an aesthetic modifier, its attraction to the macabre.

    Mardu reminds me of Max Stirner’s ideas about the Union of Egoists. A loose anti-statist society of people cooperating where it’s in their interest to do so, ultimately caring for each other so that each one among them may satisfy their own unique desires.

  • @blackdragonxtra
    @blackdragonxtra 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I like how each of the groups (containing green) display an idea of nature.
    Jund: brutal, vindictive nature that’s out to get you
    Bant: carefully cultivated nature, like a formal English garden
    Naya: idealized nature, where everything “knows its place”
    Temur: elemental nature and extreme weather
    Sultai: dank, rotting nature, decaying and fetid
    Abzan: apathetic nature, the closest to reality, where everything is just doing whatever it does to survive

  • @arrowrandoman
    @arrowrandoman 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    What I like about the shards and wedges as you talk about them is the possibility of the philosophies going too far. Since everything is so well defined, it's easy to see how the "good ones" could be formed into extremes of themselves.

  • @stackingdamage7340
    @stackingdamage7340 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I find in your Jund analysis you are missing a huge part of green - that of self reflection. Blue may be the color of planning and knowledge, which Jund lacks, but Green is the color of sentimentality and wisdom. Green's main drive is to understand its role in the world so it can play its part; self-reflection is essential to Green.
    The combination most lacking in reflection and most sure of its actions would be Mardu. White's righteous fervor, red's emotion, and black's selfishness leads Merdu to be less prone to questioning itself than Jund.
    Overall I think you have a dim view of Green and Black, two colors with which I expect you don't personally identify.

    Our lawmakers must be Bant (what good are ever-evolving laws if they’re not rooted in tradition?).
    Our law enforcers must be Jeskai (what good is upholding the law if you haven’t the wisdom to know when to apply empathy?)
    Our cultural leaders must be Selesnyan or Bant (for the same reason as lawmakers.)
    Our innovators must be Simic (why invent a solution to a problem that either already has a solution or isn’t even a problem at all?)
    Our military must be Boros (should a soldier not have the intense drive and patriotism to defend his homeland with his very life?)
    Our people must be Naya (should we not celebrate our culture and life itself with our kinsmen?)

  • @SephonDK
    @SephonDK 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I'm very confused by your claim that white-blue is the pair of/most aligned with philosophy. As if the rest of the colors as described in this video don't concern themselves with philosophical positions! You even call other things philosophy elsewhere!
    I get that the ancient Greek school wanted to improve society and self through structure and reason, and that a lot of philosophy since then has positioned itself as using those methods. However, this completely misses most appeals present in philosophy, whether it pertains to an ideal state of the world, or the ideal means to get to an ideal state. Other colors can use reason to present an argument; this is showed inworld in Magic's stories.
    I guess in the end the question is what exactly you mean by "philisophy" as belonging to white and blue? What is philosophy to you? Is Kierkegaard philosophy? That guy was pretty green!

    Came to this video to look at a wedge that I felt represented a character idea of mine for DnD. Lieutenant Commander Beatrice Browning, Giff Paladin of Conquest. Giff are inherently leaning towards White/Red, forming up into military structure to the point of gaining a rank as soon as they are born, loving military action, and especially the idea of using gunpowder for bigger, louder action. Beatrice specifically is a Giff who got flung across the planes by accident and ended up outside the structure of her unit, and combined with a bit of ego she already had, took on the ways and beliefs of Conquest Paladins. To bring the end of battle by any cost, to break the enemy utterly, even enslave them if needed. And to keep one's self as the strongest.

    "Like the creeper that girdles the tree trunk, the law runneth forward and back. For the strength of the pack is the wolf, and the strength of the wolf is the pack."
    I think a great example for a Mardu in historical fiction with a strong tie to his white side would be Sir Lancelot from Arthurian legend. A valiant knight to wanted nothing more than to uphold his king and country but ended up betraying his king via self interest and passion, only to throw down the blade and renounce his knighthood in shame. Truly to me this is the example of a white focused Mardu
