Title: Which MTG colour am I?

- I am good at drawing cards. For example, I have a sorcery in Modern that lets me draw three cards for 2 colourless mana and two mana of my colour.
- Flash and hexproof are keywords that appear fairly often on my creatures
- I have access to a common one-drop that can often swing for 3 on the second turn
- I have quite a few good soulbond creatures in Avacyn Restored limited
- I can cheat big creatures into play by casting an old sorcery that involves sacrificing a permanent as part of the cost
- I don’t usually have access to instants and sorceries that can destroy creatures
- I got a legendary land in Urza’s Saga that could generate insane amounts of mana
- I have a two-drop that can help empty my entire library into my graveyard, allowing for the Narcomoeba, Dread Return, Sutured Ghoul and Dragon Breath combo to go off
- I have a card from Time Spiral with no mana cost (but Suspend) that is banned in Modern
- I have a two-drop creature that is banned as a Commander General
- I have a sorcery that costs 2 mana from Alpha that is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage
- I have a spell that costs 1 mana from Alpha that is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage

You get one guess.

Well, if that doesn't make it completely obvious that you're talking about Ancestral Vision, I don't know what does. The answer is "blue".

except harmonize is the same as concentrate which can make it blue(add blue is alot better then green at drawing cards), and Greg hypergenesis is the green suspand that has been banned

really the only two questions that  I think single out green are

I can cheat big creatures into play by casting an old sorcery that involves sacrificing a permanent as part of the cost
- i can only think of natural order

I have a two-drop that can help empty my entire library into my graveyard, allowing for the Narcomoeba, Dread Return, Sutured Ghoul and Dragon Breath combo to go off
-all that comes to mind for this is hermit druid


For all the other statements there is something in blue as well as green that fit the bill.  So unless someone can find something for the two above,  I will have to go green

Yes, Concentrate was way too obvious though. The one-drop that can swing for 3 on 2nd turn, BoP with a giant growth. Cheat big creatures into play with a sorcery, Natural Order was obvious. Legendary Urza's Saga land applies to all colors, but Gaea's Cradle fits the clues. Doesn't usually have instants and sorceries that destroy creatures, but does destroy flying creatures quite effectively. And banned Time Spiral suspended card is Hypergenesis. 2 cost banned Alpha sorcery card had to be Channel, given the other clues.

Concerning your destroy comment about the fliers. Green does have alot of destroy fliers spells was that taken into consideration. It might be limited but they still are destroy instants and socerys which would knock out green. Language also comes into play on the cheat the creature statement. Does sac a permanent mean that is what is written or does it mean a permanent as anything in play. Because if it is the latter tinker fits the bill for that as well as natural order.
Maybe the answer is blue and green. With all blues mill find it hard to believe there isnt a 2 drop that couldnt mill that library

but really the 1 statement that makes it, without the shadow of a doubt is the two drop banned general... which i know is rofellos... my favorite general..


and also... hey, gericault

and to make it without a doubt, green... let's identify explain in detail every clue in that puzzle, if we can call it a puzzle...

- I am good at drawing cards. For example, I have a sorcery in Modern
that lets me draw three cards for 2 colourless mana and two mana of my
colour. -Harmonize
- Flash and hexproof are keywords that appear fairly often on my creatures -the wolves and a few creatures with flash. although this might be confused with blue. so this clue narrows the colors down to two. which is also like clue no. 1
- I have access to a common one-drop that can often swing for 3 on the second turn -Rouge Elephant
- I have quite a few good soulbond creatures in Avacyn Restored limited (I don't know this one because i'm not updated after M12
- I can cheat big creatures into play by casting an old sorcery that involves sacrificing a permanent as part of the cost -Natural Order
- I don’t usually have access to instants and sorceries that can destroy creatures -this is so true to green and blue which only confirms clues no. 1 & 2
- I got a legendary land in Urza’s Saga that could generate insane amounts of mana -Gaea's Cradle
-
I have a two-drop that can help empty my entire library into my
graveyard, allowing for the Narcomoeba, Dread Return, Sutured Ghoul and
Dragon Breath combo to go off -Hermit Druid
- I have a card from Time Spiral with no mana cost (but Suspend) that is banned in Modern -Hypergenesis
- I have a two-drop creature that is banned as a Commander General -Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary
- I have a sorcery that costs 2 mana from Alpha that is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage -Regrowth
- I have a spell that costs 1 mana from Alpha that is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage -i think this one is fastbond but i don't know...

Yep. The point of this thread was to point out how similar blue and green are mechanically, even though they are enemy colours. The green common one drop that I was thinking of was Wild Nacatl, although I'm sure there are others.

this to me indicates it must be blue because green deffinetly has plenty of removal spells

Removal effects for green: artifacts? Sure. Land? A few. Creatures? Not so much, unless trample is a removal effect. Not trying to be harsh, just pointing out that Green gets rid if creatures by overpowering them, not through spells.

Green has Beast Within and Prey Upon, although Beast Within is from New Phyrexia, a set that pushed the limits of the colour pie to the extreme. Prey Upon is new, and it relies on you already having a creature on the battlefield. It can't kill your opponent's first turn Noble Hierarch like Swords, Path, Bolt or Disfigure can.

Well as we noted above, aside from a few specialized spells like Beast Within, green primarily has removal spells for flying creatures, as well as artifact creatures. Which is why I pointed out it was somewhat misleading in the original description. Blue specializes in removal, so it speaks for itself.

Again, I like gericault's premise that the color in question is......Teal.   lol

Yeah Teal is a good answer. It's funny, Blue has way more in common with Green than it does with Black. MaRo has always said that he has had trouble clearly defining the similarities between Blue and Black and putting them as repeatable card ideas.

I would say that black and white (gray?) have more similarities, at least mechanically: best colors for life gain, lots of creature tokens (especially in Innistrad), lots of small cheap creatures, frequent Sacrifice effects, ownership of Cleric cards... Any two colors, ally or enemy, will have some surprising similarities.

This card type might be lost on the younger players, but Blue and Red were famous for their interrupts back in the early days of this game. Blue and Red both rely heavily on elemental powers. Both colors have large amounts of powerful flying creatures (I.E. Mahamoti Djinn 5/6 blue flier Kilnmouth Dragon 5/5 amplify 3 red flier.) Both Blue and Red have insanely huge amounts of instants and sorceries. Both colors inspire rage in opponents, and both colors are after the same thing. More power!
