MTG Salvation

I've seen people call them "Color-less" (Blackless, Whiteless, Redless), I've seen them refered to by their Nephelem name (Ink-Treader, Dune-Brood, and on), and I was just kind of wondering what we were collectivaly going to call them.

I'm personally a fan of calling the WRGB one "Jundaya". Jund + Naya = Jundaya.

Dune, Yore, Glint, Ink, Witch.

I like the Nephelem names myself, but the "less" names are easier to remember and more descriptive.

I don't remember the Nephelim names so I go with Not-X or X-less

A gimmick

I kinda like the Dune, Yore, Ink, Glint and Witch my self. I just have to remember which is which, then I'm golden.

Neophyrexia for GWUB.

Not-white/Not-black/etc.

Although I'm sure Wizards will give them short, awkward names in the future: Chorl, Thnock, Klegya, Ping, and NEEEwong.

I'm looking at the back of the magic cards, where the 5 colors are arranged in a Pentagon.



If you look at the 4 color combos, they are arreanged in a sort of bowl or dipper shape. Everyone has seen the big dipper constellation, it looks exactly like those stars. another name for that constellation is the great bear or Ursa Major. How about we called them ursas?

Yeah, a naming convention based on the lacking colour seems to be gaining traction on the forums. The variation I've been using is sans-, but the idea is the same as all the others.

Personally I'm calling the group 'terrible' and the specific combinations:
SuperJanky(Greenless)
Bad Person Tribal(redless)
Rich Person Tribal(Whiteless)
Racist(blackless)
Garbage(Blueless)

Honestly I've been listing off all the colors like a dunce, but I think I'll switch over to the Nephilim names provided I can commit them to memory. X-less also seems like a viable option.

Since we still haven't a block with such design, I'd go with white-less, green-less, etc.

My groups have mostly been refering to them as the "anti-_ " general. Like Atraxa is the anti-red general/identity.

The Nephilim names are cool, but those cards aren't very well-etched in my memory, so there's no way I'd remember them. I've been saying 'non-blue,' etc.

"Minus-white" or "minus-black" tend to be what's used around my area.

Saw someone here using drop-x, like drop-white, drop-red, etc. What I've found that sounds best to me.

NegaCOLOR.

Nega, being short for Negative.

adjective
1.
consisting in or characterized by the absence rather than the presence of distinguishing features.

Then again I might be biased because I really like "Nega".

heh.. this is awesome

i DO like the red-less one being neophyrexia though... that has a cool ring to it.

I was thinking of using
WUBR Yore-Tiller (Non-Green)
UBRG Glint-Eye (Non-White)
BRGW Dune-Brood (Non-Blue)
RGWU Ink-Treader (Non-Black)
GWUB Witch-Maw (Non-Red)

I've always just used the Nephilim names (Dune-Brood, Witch-Maw, etc). Probably still will.

I don't think my group is too familiar with which Nephilim has which colour. I think we're just going to end up calling them not-colour (i.e. Breya is 'not-green').
