You need a good deck to fight your opponent in Magic The Gathering. You need to choose a good Mana color for your deck that suit your own playing style and strategies. In the old tradition Magic game, different mana colors have totally exclusive abilities. For example, you can only cast blue spells if you have blue mana only. But the new game play allows the players to cast spells of a different color for a little bit more mana cost. Moreover, there are usually more limitations and requirements you need to be aware of when doing so.
On the other hand, cards of the same Mana color usually have inherent advantages to one another, making the effect stronger. In contrast, cards of opposing Mana would usually apply limitations on each other and make the effect weaker.
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.
The good news is that the Magic game is ever-changing. There are expansion sets which include new cards that allow one mana color to use other color spells. Balancing the power of different colors.
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.
Hence, playing multi-colored deck may be a superior sounding strategy, but you have to buy a lot of multi-color cards. And these cards are usually more expensive than single color cards plus we're not talking about one or two. For example, City of Brass, when it is tapped, it deals 1 damage to player and adds one Mana of any color to your Mana Pool. It costs around $4.5. If you have decided to build a multi-color deck, bear in mind that you will need a lot of cards like that. And yes, you have complete right to refusing buying cards like that and rely on luck, but be warned that you must get used to eating bad draws. - 30290
