Black's goal is power, no matter the cost--black will do anything to win, even if it means sacrificing its own creatures or LifePoints to power its spells.

[[folder:Colors]]
'''White'''
White is the color of [[LightTheWay light]], law, and [[HolyHandGrenade holy magic]]. It specializes in various forms of healing and protection (such as gaining life, preventing damage, and boosting creatures' toughness scores). White is chivalrous: rather than kill directly, it prefers to disable its foes with spells like [[http://magiccards.info/som/en/2.html Arrest]] and [[http://magiccards.info/arc/en/3.html Oblivion Ring]]. Of course, this only applies to civilians--white has no qualms about killing creatures during the combat phase, as seen in cards like [[http://magiccards.info/m10/en/8.html Divine Verdict]] and [[http://magiccards.info/10e/en/8.html Ballista Squad]]. Read more about white [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr57 here]].
* ApocalypseHow: Armageddon, Wrath Of God, Balance.
* CombatMedic
* EvilTwin: with Black
* HolyHandGrenade
* HumanoidAbomination: Opposed to Black's own [[EldritchAbomination eldritch things]], as part of their motiff of opposition. Angels, specially in later settings like Zendikar and Bant, are portrayed as alien to mortal races and quite detached (not to mention that they are actually manifestations of pure White mana). Archons are essencially [[TheLordOfTheRings nazgul]] that are [[KnightTemplar extremistic]] instead of immoral.
* KnightTemplar
* LightIsNotGood: In this case, light can be a Nazi.
* LightTheWay
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: White is the color of Law, so it likes there to be rules, but it has no problem applying its rule magic unevenly.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: They are medium-sized to large flying creatures.
* RocksFallEverybodyDies
* RulesLawyer: White ''is'' the color of bureaucracy, so of course white has the most bureaucracy.
'''Blue'''
Blue is associated with knowledge, illusion, and mental magic. Its specialties are [[AntiMagic countermagic]] and drawing cards. Because of its careful, analytical approach, blue is often reactive, and rarely rushes directly into the fray. Accordingly, its creatures tend to sacrifice brute force in favor of abilities like flying that allow them to gain an advantage in other ways. Read more about blue [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr84 here]].
* AnIcePerson
* BlowYouAway
* EvilTwin: with Red.
* IForgotICouldFly: Rootwater Thief, Faerie Squadron, etc. They literally forget they can fly.
* MakingASplash
* MindRape: Blue's milling ability is often flavored as erasing memories.
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Blue is the only color that can consistently interact with spells on the stack. It's a bit jarring to many players, as most interactions happen with permanents already on the battlefield.
* RedOniBlueOni: Blue Oni
* TheSpock
* TheSmartGuy
'''Black'''
Black's goal is power, no matter the cost--black will do anything to win, even if it means sacrificing its own creatures or LifePoints to power its spells. Black specializes in death and decay; its power over death makes it excellent at both killing creatures and [[TheNecromancer raising them from the dead to fight again]]. It's also the best color at attacking the opponent's hand through MindRape-styled discard effects. Learn more about black [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr109 here]].
* BodyHorror: Anything with "Pay X life..." in it, anything [[spoiler:Yawgmoth]] does, a lot of black auras.
* DarkIsNotEvil: While Black has many villains in its name, and is inherently ruthless, it has also many positive traits and a few characters to embody them.
* DealWithTheDevil: Yawgmoth's Bargain, Necropotence, Greed, Contract From Below, and so on.
* EldritchAbomination: Usually under the creature type "Horror".
* FaceHeelTurn: If a coalition of different-color characters is present.
* TheMario: Black is somewhat TheMario; oddly, black has no enchantment or artifact removal.
* MindRape: Any "discard" card or "cap" effect.
* TheNecromancer
* ReligionOfEvil: Many black cards, while not necessarily [[DarkIsNotEvil evil]], certainly look the part.
'''Red'''
Red is the color of chaos, passion, and emotion. It's aligned with the elements of [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], and [[ShockAndAwe lightning]], and it specializes in direct damage. Red lives in the moment and rarely considers the future consequences of its actions; this theme is frequently shown on effects such as [[http://magiccards.info/10e/en/242.html Threaten]] and [[http://magiccards.info/m10/en/125.html Ball Lightning]]. Learn more about red [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr133 here]].

* ShockAndAwe
* StuffBlowingUp: ''[[http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/details.aspx?name=Kaboom! Kaboom!]]''
* ThirstyDesert: Especially in ''Arabian Nights''.
'''Green'''
Green magic represents [[GreenThumb nature]]. Thanks to its mastery of life and growth, Green is the best color at creating swarms of token creatures, and its creatures tend to be bigger than those of other colors for the same cost. Green also has the ability to boost the size of its creatures, both temporarily and permanently, and is the best color at generating extra mana. Green magic is rarely subtle and often relies on brute force. While it's perfectly willing to destroy the opponent's artifacts, enchantments, and lands, Green has difficulty dealing directly with enemy creatures, preferring instead to outmatch them in combat as nature intended. Learn more about green [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mr43 here]].
* BlowYouAway: Although air is technically Blue's domain, [[WindIsGreen Green wind spells]] are common.
* DishingOutDirt (along with red)
* EverythingTryingToKillYou: Green is the domain of dangerous, hostile places like forests and jungles.
* FertileFeet
* [[GaiasLament Gaea's Lament]]
* [[GaiasVengeance Gaea's Vengeance]]
* GreenThumb
* HungryJungle
* InHarmonyWithNature
* MotherNature
* NatureHero
* ScienceIsBad: And thus, Green gets a lot of anti-artifact spells.
* TheSocialDarwinist: Despite being an enemy to Black, both colors share the philosophy that the weak should die while the strong ascend.

[[folder:Planeswalkers: Pre-Mending]]
'''Urza'''
One of the oldest and most powerful planeswalkers in the multiverse, the artificer Urza was first seen as a mortal in the ''Antiquities'' expansion, where he fought a bitter war against his fellow artificer and brother, Mishra. The disastrous war eventually led to the destruction of most of the continent, Mishra's death, Urza's ascension, and the release of the lock that [[SealedEvilInACan was keeping Phyrexia sealed away from Dominaria]].\\
\\
Urza, recognizing the threat of Phyrexia and blaming them for the corruption and death of his brother, began a crusade to purge them from the multiverse. His campaign spanned millennia, eventually culminating in the ''Weatherlight'' saga and the Dominarian Apocalypse.\\
\\
He eventually died, victorious at last, at the end of ''Apocalypse''.
* AntiHero: He causes multiple cataclysmic magical disasters that completely destroy major landmasses, creates a eugenics program to breed super-soldiers, and is an overall ManipulativeBastard who gets regular WhatTheHellHero moments.
* ArchNemesis: First Mishra, and then Yawgmoth.
* BadassGrandpa
* BigGood: In the sense of leading the good guys, at least. Urza was... [[{{Understatement}} not a]] [[{{Jerkass}} nice man]].
* BlindSeer: Used as a disguise.
* CainAndAbel: The conflict with his brother Mishra [[{{Understatement}} got a little out of control]].
* TheChessmaster
* TheSocialDarwinist
* GadgeteerGenius
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:He betrays his fellow planeswalkers and gives in to Yawgmoth once he has reached Phyrexia.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler:Gerrard, the warrior he has breeded to fight Yawgmoth, beheads him in the Phyrexian Arena.]]
* LosingYourHead: His planeswalker powers mean that he can be beheaded and survive. His disembodied head can later be spotted [[http://magiccards.info/uh/en/131.html relaxing in a hot tub]] in the non-canonical ''Unhinged'' expansion.
* LukeNounverber: He's occasionally referred to as "Urza Planeswalker." This crosses over with SpeciesSurname when you take into consideration that before the Mending, "Planeswalker" was less of a job description and more of an actual race.
* MadScientist: NotSoDifferent from Yawgmoth in the end.
* ManipulativeBastard
* MismatchedEyes: He has a red powerstone for one eye, and a green one for the other.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero
* TheUnfettered
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He may be a dick to everyone, including his allies, but at least his efforts go towards stopping Yawgmoth.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
* XanatosRoulette
'''Bo Levar'''
* TheCaptain
* MundaneUtility: Some old-style Planeswalkers use their power to become GeniusLoci. Some use it to become as gods. Others use it to accrue unending knowledge. Bo Levar uses it to smuggle cigars from one world to another.
'''Freyalise'''
* EyepatchOfPower: Covering a magical eye.
'''Commodore Guff'''
* AuthorAvatar: Uh...see for yourself. From ''Apocalypse'':
--> Madly, he erased. Madly, yes, for what editor erases so fervently the words an author has written? What editor allows his author to write a hundred thousand words only to erase ten thousand of them? Only an editor desperate to get history right. \\
\\
“Bother.”\\
\\
Commodore Guff crouched upon a gnarl of basalt and feverishly applied the massive eraser to the history of the Dominarian Apocalypse. There went a sentence about the death of Eladamri. Just after, Liin Sivi[sic] no longer died, for all the way through she had been paired to him as though she were his gimp leg. And what about this paragraph where Bo Levar lights a cigar in a swamp and is blown to smithereens? Guff didn’t even erase that bit, but crumpled up the whole page and threw it into the lava that seeped from a nearby crack. What else had to go to make this goddamned trilogy work out? How about the legal material, and the dedication and acknowledgments? After all, who gives a goat’s droppings for the editor of an epic? Commodore Guff hurled those pages aside and saw them catch fire. He threw out the teaser too. It had given away the destruction of Dominaria anyway, something that was completely undecided at this point. \\
\\
Commodore Guff turned his face from the ravaged book in his hand and looked skyward. “This would never have happened when I was in charge of continuity.”
* MetaGuy
'''Taysir of Rabiah'''
* TheChosenOne: On Rabiah, at least.
* CoolOldGuy
* FusionDance: A Power Booster example. He originally had five alternate universe counterparts, one for each colour of mana, and became a planeswalker when his Black self pulled this off with all the rest.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: Attempts this on Urza after Urza betrays the Nine Titans and turns to Yawgmoth. In response, Urza kills Taysir in self-defense.
* MinorMajorCharacter: Canonically, he was briefly the most powerful Planeswalker in the multiverse until Urza ascended, due to having five sparks instead of one, and even then he was quite powerful. Most of his time in the limelight is in the time before the Weatherlight saga, where Urza doesn't figure into things much at all, and afterwards he barely even gets mentioned. He comes back for the Invasion block, only to get killed.
* PapaWolf: His aforementioned attacking of Urza was also in part caused by the fact that Urza's recruitment of Tevesh Szat led to his daughter being killed.
* TheRedMage: One of the few Planeswalkers to master all five colours, due to the circumstances of his ascension.
'''Tevesh Szat'''
* EvilSorceror
* TokenEvilTeammate: Deconstructed. He ''does'' end up backstabbing his teammates, which is exactly what Urza wanted, because he needs an ally to drain the soul out of and use it as a bomb. (WhatTheHellHero ensues.)
* WasOnceAMan: Before ascending, he was a human named Tev. Afterwards, he looked like a lizard man's torso on an octopus's tentacles.
'''Lord Windgrace'''
* BadassFurry
* DarkIsNotEvil: Unless you're an artifact.
* [[spoiler: GeniusLoci: implied that his spirit still watches over Urborg]]
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
* PantheraAwesome
* ScienceIsBad: Does not like artifacts.
'''Teferi'''
A blue-aligned planeswalker from Zhalfir specializing in time magic and phasing. The events of ''Time Spiral'' caused him to lose his planeswalker spark, [[DePower making him mortal again]].
* BaldBlackLeaderGuy
* CourtMage: To the court of Zhalfir, specifically.
* {{Delinquents}}: He apparently was one at the Academy, [[{{Understatement}} but he's since grown out of it.]]
* {{Depower}}: He gave up his Planeswalker spark and became a mortal (but still very powerful) wizard in ''Time Spiral'' so that he could close the time rift over Shiv.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* TimeMaster: And one powerful enough to ''warp two countries into an alternate timeline'', no less.
* TykeBomb: Since he was noticed to have great magical potential as a child, he was trained to fight back against the Phyrexians at Urza's Tolarian Academy.
'''Jeska/Phage'''
[[http://magiccards.info/ju/en/93.html Jeska]] first appeared in the ''Odyssey'' block storyline as [[http://magiccards.info/od/en/198.html Kamahl]]'s sister. After suffering mortal wounds at the hands of her brother's [[ArtifactOfDoom Mirari]]-induced insanity, she was resurrected by the Cabal during the ''Onslaught'' storyline, gaining a new life as the fearsome [[http://magiccards.info/le/en/78.html Phage the Untouchable]]. The events of ''Legions'' caused her to fuse with Akroma to form Karona, the False God. When Karona was defeated, Jeska's spark ignited and she re-emerged as a planeswalker, leaving with Karn to travel the multiverse. She later returned in ''Future Sight'' to help seal the time rifts.
* EnemyToAllLivingThings: As Phage, her touch causes organic matter to rot, to the extent she has to wear silk and to sleep on a bed of stone.
* EnemyWithin: Jeska struggles with her alter-ego Phage, both before and after she becomes a planeswalker.
* FieryRedhead
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:In ''Future Sight'', she gives her life to seal the Otarian time rift.]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Phage comes from Ancient Greek ''phageton'', which means ''to consume''. She's also referred to as "the Untouchable".
* NotSoDifferent: From Akroma.
'''Jaya Ballard'''
* BlackMagicianGirl
* DeadpanSnarker
* GogglesDoNothing
* HotBlooded
* LargeHam: Really, Jaya would be right at home in ''GurrenLagann''.
* PlayingWithFire: And ''how.''
* {{Pyromaniac}}: "Of course you should fight fire with fire. You should fight ''everything'' with fire."
* RoleCalled: If you see her name, there's a good chance that "Task Mage" will follow it.
* ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: Well, it isn't a game of Kick-The-Ouphe...
'''Leshrac'''
* TheManBehindTheMan: Behind Tevesh Szat and Lim-Dul during the Ice Age.
* MegaManning: In ''Future Sight'', he steals the black magic abilities from Nicol Bolas and Jeska/Phage.
* SealedEvilInACan: ''Twice''. Once in the Shard of the Twelve Worlds, and once in Phyrexia.

[[folder:Planeswalkers: Post-Mending]]
'''Ajani Goldmane'''
[[http://magiccards.info/m11/en/1.html Ajani Goldmane]] is a white-aligned planeswalker. He first appeared in the storyline as a protagonist in the ''Shards of Alara'' block, where his quest to avenge the murder of his brother led him to discover the nefarious machinations of Nicol Bolas. His specialty is SoulPower: invoking and strengthening the spirits of others.

Read more about him [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Multiverse/planeswalkers.aspx?x=mtg/multiverse/planeswalkers/jace here]].
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Chandra's Red Oni.

* MasterOfIllusion
* MindManipulation

'''Liliana Vess'''
Liliana Vess is a black-aligned planeswalker whose specialty is [[TheNecromancer necromancy]]. She has several long-running debts with demons after a few [[DealWithTheDevil bargains]] she made. Read more about her [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Multiverse/planeswalkers.aspx?x=mtg/multiverse/planeswalkers/liliana here]].
* DealWithTheDevil: Made a contract with some demons in order to gain eternal youth. She eventually killed said demons when they came to do their part of the deal.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Makes the other Black planeswalkers look humble in comparation. Except towards her brother, but he's dead now.
* {{Necromancer}}
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Liliana uses her magic to maintain her youthful appearance and extend her lifespan. She's over a hundred years old, but she looks like she's in her twenties.
* SoulPower: The BlackMagic variant.
'''Chandra Nalaar'''
Chandra Nalaar is a red-aligned [[PlayingWithFire pyromancer]] and the star of ''The Purifying Fire''. She's impulsive, passionate, and has a violent disrespect for authority.

* BeastMaster
* NatureHero
'''Elspeth Tirel'''
Elspeth Tirel is a planeswalker who wields WhiteMagic. Born on a plane dominated by Phyrexia, she escaped after her spark ignited and roamed the worlds looking for a home. When she found Bant, she believed she'd found her true home; after Alara's Conflux, however, she felt that she no longer belonged, and left to roam the multiverse once more. Read more about her [[http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Multiverse/planeswalkers.aspx?x=mtg/multiverse/planeswalkers/elspeth here]].
* CowardlyLion: She is a very strong planeswalker and really wants to help, but she finds herself more often running away than actually helping in any way.
* TheFatalist: She thinks her version of paradise, Bant, will fall to the undead of Grixis, even as the fight isn't yet lost and Ajani tries to convince her to help him.

'''Nicol Bolas'''
Planeswalker. Elder Dragon. Tyrant of Worlds. Nicol Bolas is one of the oldest known beings in the Multiverse—he has lived for many millennia. His malevolence is matched only by his boundless intellect.
* BadassBoast: His entire encounter with Ajani at the end of ''Alara Unbroken'' is basically a long one of these. Trouble is, he really is that good. Best summarized by the quote: "I've survived more apocalypses than you've had ''chest colds.''"
* TheBadGuyWins: The stories of Shards of Alara and Zendikar are both cases of Bolas's plans coming to fruition. He encounters some hiccups along the way, but ultimately achieves his goals.
* BreakoutCharacter: At first, Nicol Bolas was just one part of [[http://www.magiccards.info/query?q=t%3A%22Elder+Dragon%22&v=card&s=cname a cycle of Elder Dragons]]. He's the only one who most people pay attention to nowadays.
* EvilSorcerer: UpToEleven.
* HowTheMightyHaveFallen
* IGotBetter: Twice- first resurrecting himself from his death at the hands of Tetsuo Umezawa, then restoring himself to full strength during the Conflux.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Immortal, supremely powerful, masterfully manipulative wizards bent on total omnipotence.
'''Sorin Markov'''
Sorin Markov is a vampire and a master of sangromancy, a dark corner of [[BlackMagic black mana]] specialization. With this blood magic he can drain the lifeforce of other beings, place curses on enemies, and even possess the minds of others.
* AntiHero
* BloodMagic
* DarkIsNotEvil: He is scheming, paranoid and eats people to survive, but tried as much as possible to fight the [[EldritchAbomination Eldrazi]].
* TheHedonist: When he isn't trying to defeat the Eldrazi, he usually just seeks pleasure and excitement.
* OurVampiresAreDifferent
'''Nissa Revane'''
Nissa Revane wields green magic to muster her people and amplify their might. Recently, she has begun using black mana covertly, believing it a necessary means to move the elves toward their rightful place.
* BlackMagic / GreenThumb: Combines both to great effect.
* HolierThanThou
* OurElvesAreBetter
'''Gideon Jura'''
Gideon Jura is a planeswalker who wields WhiteMagic. Unlike most planeswalkers, Gideon doesn’t hesitate to enter combat. He also practices hieromancy, the magic of holy justice.
* KnightTemplar: Until he learned the [[LightIsNotGood evil]] of his ways and [[LightIsGood was redeemed]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist
* WhipItGood: More specifically, his WeaponOfChoice is a whiplike [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urumi Urumi]].
'''Koth of the Hammer'''
Koth is a planeswalker who wields red magic. His specialty is [[DishingOutDirt geomancy, spells that move mountains, shatter stone and melt iron.]] His earth magic has a special strength in it that allows him to purify metal, which reflects Koth’s own inner desire to bring peace and harmony to his people.
* DishingOutDirt
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
'''Venser'''
Venser is a planeswalker who wields Blue and WhiteMagic. His specialty is [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation magic]] and building his own unique and powerful artifacts. Venser is brilliant and able to think fast on his feet to find a way out of any sticky situation he encounters. He relies on his knowledge of artifice and teleportation to pave his way through the Multiverse, where he satisfies his boundless curiosity of all things mechanical.
* CoolHelmet
* TeleportersAndTransporters
'''Karn'''
A sentient silver golem created by Urza to help with time travel experiments, Karn eventually joined the crew of the ''Weatherlight''. Upon Urza's death, Karn inherited the Mightstone and Weakstone, and integrating them into his body caused him to ascend as the first known artifact planeswalker.
* ActualPacifist: He's depicted in the art of the ''Tempest'' edition of [[http://magiccards.info/tp/en/246.html Pacifism]].
* FallenHero: With the Phyrexian invasion of Mirrodin, the Phyrexians adopted him as their new Father of Machines. Eventually, he managed to escape their clutches, but not before the plane was lost.
* {{Golem}}
* TheMessiah: He's played this role to both the good guys ''and'' [[DarkMessiah the Phyrexians.]]
* NiceGuy

[[folder:Phyrexia]]
Perhaps the most iconic, notorious, [[EvilIsCool be]][[RootingForTheEmpire loved]] and [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel horrifying]] bad guys of the whole franchise, Phyrexia began in Magic's early days as a flesh hating cult, and since then has been [[IncrediblyLamePun fleshed out]] as one of the most disturbing and complex factions of the Multiverse.
Phyrexia was originally a dying, swampy plane designed by a dragon planeswalker. Later came [[BigBad Yawgmoth]], which alongside the members of his civilasation that were banished alongside him after a series of events in his homeworld, turned the plane into a world of seven layers that can best be described as {{Hell}}. The Phyrexian civilasation was a well structured, organised dictatorship that had a vicious, semi-religious philosophy that declared that flesh was imperfect and should be replaced by metal in a various manner of BodyHorror, turning the altered creatures into unrecognisable monstruousities. [[AveMachina Worshipping machines]] (but only those made by Yawgmoth; the rest are heretical mockeries), the phyrexians tried to take over Dominaria, but were ultimately defeated and their plane destroyed.
However, the process of phyresis required an oil created by Yawgmoth himself, an oil that infects creatures and changes their minds, making them want to become Phyrexians. Karn's "heart" had a bit of this oil in it, and it infected his created plane Mirrodin. It infected the guardian of the plane, [[MadScientist Memnarch]], leading him to become insane, and once he died the organisms of the plane became vulnerable to the oil's influence, resulting in the rebirth of Phyrexia.
And even if New Phyrexia dies, [[ParanoiaFuel all that is needed to create a new one]] [[FromASingleCell is a single drop of the oil]]...
[[AC:Old Phyrexia]]
The Ineffable, a.k.a. '''Yawgmoth'''
* AffablyEvil: As a human. A learned, charming man with a penchant for hygiene who [[BreadEggsMilkSquick becomes a nearly invincible creature and plans to create a brand new order]]. He's basically Dominaria's [[BuffyTheVampireSlayer Mayor Wilkins]], only without the MoralityPet.
* AgentScully: He provides the snarking quote for BlackBox.
* AveMachina / CyberneticsEatYourSoul / MechanicalLifeforms
* BadassBoast: An entire chapter of ''Apocalypse'' novel is dedicated to this.
* BigBad
* CCGImportanceDissonance: Despite being one of the most powerful beings--perhaps ''the most'' powerful--in the whole Multiverse, Yawgmoth never obtained his own card (although, that'd be like printing a card of {{God}} in, say, Top Trumps). He is, however, related to the (in)famous pair of [[GameBreaker powerful cards]], [[http://magiccards.info/us/en/171.html Yawgmoth's Will]] and [[http://magiccards.info/ud/en/75.html Yawgmoth's Bargain]].
* [[CelibateHero Celibate]] [[{{Asexual}} Villain]]: Maybe it didn't help that the woman he loved [[SealedEvilInACan sealed him in another dimension for 9,000 years]].
* TheChessMaster
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything:
** ''The Thran'' is dedicated to Dmitri Shostakovich, who, the author states, "''survived a [[JosefStalin real-life Yawgmoth]]''".
** The structure of Phyrexia is composed of nine progressively smaller hollow planets resting inside one another, with each sphere having a specific function and Yawgmoth residing in the ninth innermost sphere. Replace Phyrexia with {{Hell}} and Yawgmoth with {{Satan}}, and you have ''[[TheDivineComedy Inferno]]''.
* EmperorScientist
* EvilGenius / MadScientist / WickedCultured
* EvilutionaryBiologist
* FogOfDoom: His appearance on Dominaria.
* ForScience
* AGodAmI
* GreenEyedMonster: Despite becoming the most powerful being in the Multiverse, he resents planeswalker since he doesn't have the ''spark''. Thinking such powers are generated by a gland, he dissects a planeswalker in order to find it.
* IHaveManyNames: The Ineffable, The Father of the Machines, The Lord of Wastes.
* HeWhoMustNotBeSeen: See CCGImportanceDissonance. Not only does he not have his own card, [[NothingIsScarier he's never depicted in ''any art'' in his true form]], with the sole picture of him being when he was a human. The closest we have is [[http://magiccards.info/ud/en/75.html Yawgmoth's Bargain]], but it's unconfirmed whether or not that's supposed to be him.
* KilledOffForReal: The current story team seems ''very'' intent on making sure he never makes a comeback. While ''Scourge'' features a scene showing him wounded, but alive, but that's since been [[RetCon retconned]] with at least two {{Take That}}s in the ''Time Spiral'' block (Windgrace states that he has confirmed Yawgmoth as dead, and Urborg is known as the Tomb of Yawgmoth), and the leaders of Phyrexia are now explicitly the Praetors.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* NoCureForEvil: It has been stated very clearly that he was a skilled ''[[ForScience surgeon]]'', not healer. [[SarcasmMode Luckily]], ScienceIsBad, so we still get our villain.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Caused by being Sealed In A Can.
* TheScottishTrope: It's generally considered bad luck to speak his true name, hence the various euphemisms. Some fans, particularly [[RootingForTheEmpire Phyrexian symphasisers]], have taken up this custom. It doesn't seem to have any supernatural repercussions, though.
* SealedEvilInACan: For nine millennia.
* StartOfDarkness: ''The Thran''.
* StrawVulcan: In ''The Thran''.
* UltimateEvil: Until the end of ''Apocalypse''.
* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: That is, Phyrexia Justifies The Means. Of course, Yawgmoth's idea of a utopia is [[{{Understatement}} a little different from most people's.]]
* VillainProtagonist: In ''The Thran''. The book has several main characters, but there's no question as to who ends up the most important.
* WasOnceAMan: Not only Yawgmoth himself, but most of the Phyrexians. Many of which ''[[BodyHorror do not resemble the organisms they were made from. At all.]]''
* WellIntentionedExtremist: At least during ''The Thran''.
'''Crovax'''
* TheDragon: To Yawgmoth.
* FaceHeelTurn
* FallenHero
* LoveMakesYouCrazy
* NotSoDifferent: From Gerrard
* TragicVillain: When the love of his life (an angel named Selenia) died, he sided with Yawgmoth to get her back. All he obtained, however, was a ReplacementGoldfish.
'''Tsabo Tavoc'''
The Phyrexian general in ''Invasion''. A half-human half-spider hybrid with mechanical augmentations, with a great lust for battle and death.
* AxCrazy
* BaldWoman
* HeroKiller: [[http://magiccards.info/in/en/281.html Her card]] revolves around destroying legendary creatures.
* TheDragon: To Crovax.
* YouHaveFailedMe
'''Xantcha'''
Not all Phyrexians were turned into machines; some were made humanoid spies. One of said spies, Xantcha, rebelled against her masters, and became a hero, allying herself to Urza.
* DarkIsNotEvil: quite a beloved character, in fact.
* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice]]
* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch
* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: She's a sleeper agent.
[[AC:New Phyrexia]]
After its infection began to spread, many of Mirrodin's natives gathered in the lower layers of the world, and transformed themselves into Phyrexians. After a long period of time rebuilding, they emerged and battled the Mirrans, sparking a war that ended with the [[TheBadGuyWins compleation of Mirrodin into New Phyrexia]].
Unlike the mono-black Old Phyrexia, this one has all colours of Magic under its control, and has factions for each colour, each of them with a '''Praetor''' (essencially a lord) guiding it. The [[LightIsNotGood White]] faction is the [[ReligionOfEvil Machine Orthodoxy]], the Blue faction is the [[MadScientist Progress Engine]], the Red faction is responsible for the mass production of weapons, the Green faction wants to turn the plane in a savage sentient-less world [[TheSocialDarwinist where only the strong thrive]], and the Black faction is just a bunch of [[TheStarscream Starscreams]] trying to usurp the throne, with no observable function to the rest of Phyrexia.
'''Elesh Norn'''
The White Praetor.
* {{Homage}}: Her design, as well the designs of her servants, owe much to SilentHill.
* KnightTemplar
* LightIsNotGood
* ObfuscatingStupidity[=/=]ObfuscatingInsanity: She appears to be a delirious, insane religious lunatic, but she's actually a rather clever [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative bitch]].
* SinisterMinister
* UndyingLoyalty: To Karn, so long as he's the Father of Machines.
'''Jin-Gitaxias'''
The Blue Praetor.
* KnightTemplar: Is obsessed with Phyrexia's perfection.
* MadScientist
* TheRedMage: Besides Blue mana he appearently can make use of Black mana and White mana.
* TheStarscream: He also plots against Karn, although he doesn't mind if someone else takes the throne so long as said person is competent.
'''Sheoldred'''
The Black Praetor.
* DarkIsEvil
* {{Necromancer}}: Appearently she has "necromantic visions".
* OurCentaursAreDifferent: She has a humanoid upperbody attached to an enormous spider like creature.
* TheStarscream: She's survived and dominated the ChronicBackstabbingDisorder-fest that is Black Phyrexia by being a better, more well-informed [[TheStarscream Starscream]] than the rest.
* VaginaDentata: Has a mouth where her "lady parts" would be.
'''Urabrask'''
The Red Praetor.
* TheChessmaster
* DragonWithAnAgenda: Although exactly what his end goals are nobody knows.
* MadArtist: It is implied that he wants to turn Mirrodin/New Phyrexia into what he considers aesthetically pleasing.
'''Vorinclex'''
The Green Praetor.
* TheSocialDarwinist
* VillainousGlutton
'''Geth'''
* LesCollaborateurs: And he brought along the entire Moriok tribe of humans with him.
'''Glissa Sunseeker/Glissa the Traitor'''
* FaceHeelTurn
* FallenHero
* OurElvesAreBetter
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Miscellaneous Non-Planeswalkers]]
'''Toshiro Umezawa'''
Toshiro Umezawa, or "Toshi" for short, is the black-aligned protagonist of the ''Kamigawa'' saga. Toshi's only true loyalty is to himself, and [[PoliticalHero he'll never fight when it's possible to bargain]]. Luckily for the rest of Kamigawa, it's currently in his best interest to save the world.
* AntiHero: Toshi is selfish and underhanded, and his first instinct upon rescuing the princess is to ransom her.
* {{Badass}}: Makes use of intelligence, strength, kanji magic and more to do things from imprisoning powerful snow spirits to slaughtering onis. [[spoiler: He appearently also does pretty fine without sight, up to travelling for miles following the smell of a swamp]]
* BadassBoast: See ToThePain.
* BloodBrothers: Toshi is the founder of the Hyozan Reckoners, a gang of BloodBrothers bound by magical oath to brutally avenge the death of any other member.
* CastingAShadow: Got fused with the Shadow Gate, allowing him to move around freely in all of Kamigawa's shadows.
* DarkIsNotEvil: A prominent example of black taking a heroic role in the storyline.
* DeadpanSnarker
* JustWhistle: Toshi negotiates a bargain of this nature with a giant moth whose life he saved.
* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:At the end of ''Saviors'', the Myojin of Night's Reach blinds him.]]
* PoliticalHero: The quintessential example. In an early scene, he joins a group of assassins contracted to kill the ogre Hidetsugu. While the other assassins jump into the fray, Toshi hangs back. After all his companions are dead, he calmly approaches Hidetsugu and offers to become BloodBrothers instead. (It works.)
* {{Ronin}}
* SealedBadassInACan: The [[AnIcePerson yuki-onna]]. Toshi does the sealing.
* ToThePain: Modus operandi of the Hyozan Reckoners. Toshi delivers a particularly BadassBoast to Kobo's murderer:
-->We will kill you.\\
\\
We will burn your fields, steal your treasure, destroy your house, and enslave your children. We will murder your spouse, poison your pets, and blasphemy on the graves of your ancestors. We will do all this, and the only way to avoid it is if we cannot find you.\\
\\
We've already found you.
'''Akroma'''
An angel created by Ixidor in order to avenge his wife's death at the hands of Phage the Untouchable. One of the main characters in ''Onslaught'' block.
* BadassCreed: ''"No rest. No mercy. No matter what."''
* {{Determinator}}
* AGodAmI: After Ixidor's death, she starts her own religion.
* KnightTemplar: From her point of view, everything is good when done against Phage.
* LightIsNotGood
* MarySue: An in-universe example. She was created by a mage that could turn his fantasies into reality as an idealized homage to his dead lover, and existed primarily to lay waste to his enemies.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Hence the epithet "Angel of Wrath".
* WeCanRebuildHim: Akroma loses both her legs after a particularly nasty brawl with Phage. Ixidor replaces them with the lower body of a panther.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Weatherlight Crew]]
'''Gerrard Capashen'''
* BadassBeard
* CainAndAbel: With Volrath.
* CCGImportanceDissonance: Despite his importance in the story arc, his card is quite weak.
* {{Determinator}}
* [[spoiler:FaceHeelTurn: He bows to Yawgmoth and agrees to fight with Urza to death in order to get Hanna's back.]]
* TheHero: But ''not'' The Captain.
* [[spoiler:HeroicSacrifice]]
* LoveMakesYouCrazy: In ''Apocalypse'', until [[http://magiccards.info/ap/en/27.html this]].
* TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: In ''Apocalypse'', he [[spoiler:beheads Urza.]]
'''Sisay'''
* TheCaptain
* TheGoodCaptain
* TheLancer
'''Hanna'''
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Turns out it was Yawgmoth's bluff.]]
* BadassBookworm: She was the daughter of Barrin, master of Tolarian Academy.

'''Tahngarth'''
* TheBigGuy
* BloodKnight
* BoisterousBruiser
* ProudWarriorRaceGuy
'''Squee'''
* BackFromTheDead: Unfortunately, it's a part of Yawgmoth's reward to Crovax. See NighInvulnerability.
* OurGoblinsAreDifferent
* NighInvulnerability: Post-FaceHeelTurn Crovax amuses himself by killing Squee repeatedly and watching him come back to life.
* PluckyComicRelief
* TeenGenius: At least, for goblin standards.
'''Orim'''

With LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters, it's difficult to describe them. We can, however, describe colors:
'''White''' - White focuses on healing and protection, as well as the chivalrous arts of war. White is known for a lot of Biblical references.
'''Tropes associated with white:'''
* ApocalypseHow: Armageddon, Wrath Of God, Balance...There's a reason Wrath of God is the picture on the EverybodyDies page.
* EvilTwin: with black
* KnightTemplar
* LawfulStupid: Sometimes.
* LightIsNotGood: In this case, light can be a Nazi.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Our angels are medium-sized to large flying creatures.
* RocksFallEverybodyDies
* RulesLawyer: Oh, dear God, ''how''. White ''is'' the color of bureaucracy, so of course white has the most bureaucracy.
'''Blue''' - Blue is associated with the "wet" elements of water and air, and mental magic. Blue's specialty is meta-magic.
'''Tropes associated with blue:'''
* AnIcePerson
* IForgotICouldFly: Rootwater Thief, Faerie Squadron, etc. They literally forget they can fly.
* KillItWithWater
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Blue is the only color that can consistently interact with spells on the stack. It's a bit jarring to many players, as most interactions happen with permanents already on the battlefield.
* TheScrappy: Blue is ''the'' color of the much-maligned control archetype. The components of the basic control deck are very simple: lots of disruption in the form of counterspells and removal, sources of strong card advantage like planeswalkers, Necropotence, Sensei's Divining Top, Ancestral Recall, etc.; and a hard to answer threat like Morphling or Sphinx of Jwar Isle. Because it is so simple to build, players playing less resilient decks or casual decks may find that playing a game against a control player can be very frustrating. Frequent causes of blue hate stem from situations where the non-control player is throwing threats off the topdeck into a control player's full hand of counterspells, or when a powerful combo fails to resolve because a component was bounced back to its owner's hand, only to be counterspelled on the way back down.
* TheSpock
* MindRape: Blue runs off this trope more often than black does. Even more so [[FridgeHorror when you realize milling and discarding cards is the magic version of memory erasing]].
'''Black''' - Black specializes in death and decay. It has some weaknesses; it can only destroy things that were alive in the first place. Black is very self-destructive; expect to see "pay one life:" or "sacrifice a creature:" a lot.
'''Tropes associated with black''':
* BadassNormal
* BodyHorror: Anything with "Pay X life..." in it, anything [[spoiler:Yawgmoth]] does, a lot of black auras.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Yawgmoth]]'s Bargain, Necropotence, Greed
* EldritchAbomination
* EvilTwin: With white.
* FaceHeelTurn: If a coalition of different-color characters is present
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel
* TheMario: Black is somewhat TheMario; oddly, black has no enchantment or artifact removal.
* MindRape: Any "discard" card.
The Ineffable, a.k.a. Yawgmoth [[spoiler: (You fool! You've doomed us all!)]] deserves a list on its own.
* AffablyEvil: As a human.
* AveMachina
* BigBad
* CCGImportanceDissonance: Despite being one of the most powerful beings in the whole Multiverse, it never obtained his own card. It is, however, related to a pair of [[GameBreaker powerful cards]].
* TheChessMaster
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul

* GodOfEvil
* IHaveManyNames: The Ineffable, The Father of the Machines, The Lord of Wastes.
* LawfulEvil
* MechanicalLifeforms
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* NoCureForEvil: It has been stated very clearly that he was a skilled ''surgeon'', not a healer. [[{{Anvilicious}} This lead to]] [[ScienceIsBad some]] UnfortunateImplications.
* [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Phyrexia Justifies The Means]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Caused by...
** SealedEvilInACan: For nine millennia.
* StartOfDarkness: ''The Thran''.
* YourMileageMayVary: Depending on the player, but normally from WellIntentionedExtremist to CompleteMonster.
'''Red''' - Red is the passionate color, specializing in the "dry" elements of fire and earth, as well as chaos. Red is also associated with an artist's passions, though, so red can be destructive.
'''Tropes associated with red:'''
* BreathOfFire: Red dragons are the most fire-prone.
* ChaoticStupid
* DishingOutDirt (along with green)
* DragonRider
* GreatBallsOfFire: ''Blaze'' and ''Fireball''.
* HotBlooded
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons
* KillItWithFire
* PlayingWithFire
* RocksFallEverybodyDies: Jokulhaups.
* ShockAndAwe
* ThirstyDesert: Especially in ''Arabian Nights''.
'''Green''' - Green magic represents nature. Green tends to be fast and have the best creatures. Despite this, green is often considered the weakest color. At least, it was, due to its lack of real combos, but some of the creatures Green has been getting are pretty ridiculous (Terra Stomper, Pelakka Wurm, Primalcrux, Khalni Hydra, etc.). Multi-color decks tend to use a lot of green.
'''Tropes associated with green:'''
* DishingOutDirt (along with red)
* [[{{Ptitle51m69k0w}} Gaea's Lament]]
* HungryJungle
* InHarmonyWithNature
* MotherNature
* NatureHero
* ScienceIsBad
* TierInducedScrappy
Some '''Planeswalkers''' deserve a list on their own.
'''Urza'''
* AntiHero: Destroying large landmasses, starting wars, and conducting a eugenics program just to breed a few warriors for his plan places him firmly as a Type V.

* BlindSeer: Used as a disguise.
* CainAndAbel: The conflict with his brother Mishra [[{{Understatement}} got a little out of control]].

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Gerrard, the warrior he has breeded to fight Yawgmoth, beheads him in the Phyrexian Arena.
* LosingYourHead
* MismatchedEyes: He has a red powerstone for one eye, and a green one for the other.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity
* XanatosRoulette
* YourMileageMayVary: Just like Yawgmoth, from WellIntentionedExtremist to CompleteMonster.
'''Nicol Bolas'''
* BreakoutCharacter: At first, Nicol Bolas was just one part of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?type=+[Elder]+[Dragon]||subtype=+[Elder]+[Dragon] a cycle of Elder Dragons]]. He's the only one who most people pay attention to nowadays.

'''Green''' - Green magic represents nature. Green tends to be fast and have the best creatures. Despite this, green is often considered the weakest color. At least, it was, due to its lack of real combos, but some of the creatures Green has been getting are pretty ridiculous (Terra Stomper, Pelakka Wurm, Primalcrux, Khalni Hydra, etc.). Multi-color decks tend to use a lot of green.
'''Tropes associated with green:'''
* DishingOutDirt (along with red)
* [[{{Ptitle51m69k0w}} Gaea's Lament]]
* HungryJungle
* InHarmonyWithNature
* MotherNature
* NatureHero
* ScienceIsBad
* TierInducedScrappy
Some '''Planeswalkers''' deserve a list on their own.

* ArchNemesis: Mishra, and then Yawgmoth.

* BreakoutCharacter: At first, Nicol Bolas was just one part of [[http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Search/Default.aspx?type=+[Elder]+[Dragon]||subtype=+[Elder]+[Dragon] a cycle of Elder Dragons]]. He's the only one who most people pay attention to nowadays.

to:
'''White''' - White focuses on healing and protection, as well as the chivalrous arts of war. White is known for a lot of Biblical references.
'''Tropes associated with white:'''
* ApocalypseHow: Armageddon, Wrath Of God, Balance...There's a reason Wrath of God is the picture on the EverybodyDies page.
* EvilTwin: with black
* KnightTemplar
* LawfulStupid: Sometimes.
* LightIsNotGood: In this case, light can be a Nazi.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Our angels are medium-sized to large flying creatures.
* RocksFallEverybodyDies
* RulesLawyer: Oh, dear God, ''how''. White ''is'' the color of bureaucracy, so of course white has the most bureaucracy.
'''Blue''' - Blue is associated with the "wet" elements of water and air, and mental magic. Blue's specialty is meta-magic.
'''Tropes associated with blue:'''
* AnIcePerson
* IForgotICouldFly: Rootwater Thief, Faerie Squadron, etc. They literally forget they can fly.
* KillItWithWater
* MyRulesAreNotYourRules: Blue is the only color that can consistently interact with spells on the stack. It's a bit jarring to many players, as most interactions happen with permanents already on the battlefield.
* TheScrappy: Blue is ''the'' color of the much-maligned control archetype. The components of the basic control deck are very simple: lots of disruption in the form of counterspells and removal, sources of strong card advantage like planeswalkers, Necropotence, Sensei's Divining Top, Ancestral Recall, etc.; and a hard to answer threat like Morphling or Sphinx of Jwar Isle. Because it is so simple to build, players playing less resilient decks or casual decks may find that playing a game against a control player can be very frustrating. Frequent causes of blue hate stem from situations where the non-control player is throwing threats off the topdeck into a control player's full hand of counterspells, or when a powerful combo fails to resolve because a component was bounced back to its owner's hand, only to be counterspelled on the way back down.
* TheSpock
* MindRape: Blue runs off this trope more often than black does. Even more so [[FridgeHorror when you realize milling and discarding cards is the magic version of memory erasing]].
'''Black''' - Black specializes in death and decay. It has some weaknesses; it can only destroy things that were alive in the first place. Black is very self-destructive; expect to see "pay one life:" or "sacrifice a creature:" a lot.
'''Tropes associated with black''':
* BadassNormal
* BodyHorror: Anything with "Pay X life..." in it, anything [[spoiler:Yawgmoth]] does, a lot of black auras.
* DarkIsNotEvil
* DealWithTheDevil: [[spoiler:Yawgmoth]]'s Bargain, Necropotence, Greed
* EldritchAbomination
* EvilTwin: With white.
* FaceHeelTurn: If a coalition of different-color characters is present
* HighOctaneNightmareFuel
* TheMario: Black is somewhat TheMario; oddly, black has no enchantment or artifact removal.
* MindRape: Any "discard" card.
The Ineffable, a.k.a. Yawgmoth [[spoiler: (You fool! You've doomed us all!)]] deserves a list on its own.
* AffablyEvil: As a human.
* AveMachina
* BigBad
* CCGImportanceDissonance: Despite being one of the most powerful beings in the whole Multiverse, it never obtained his own card. It is, however, related to a pair of [[GameBreaker powerful cards]].
* TheChessMaster
* CyberneticsEatYourSoul
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: ''The Thran'' is dedicated to Dmitri Shostakovich, who "''survived a [[JosefStalin real-life Yawgmoth]]''".
* EmperorScientist
* AGodAmI
* GodOfEvil
* IHaveManyNames: The Ineffable, The Father of the Machines, The Lord of Wastes.
* LawfulEvil
* MechanicalLifeforms
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast
* NoCureForEvil: It has been stated very clearly that he was a skilled ''surgeon'', not a healer. [[{{Anvilicious}} This lead to]] [[ScienceIsBad some]] UnfortunateImplications.
* [[UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans Phyrexia Justifies The Means]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Caused by...
** SealedEvilInACan: For nine millennia.
* StartOfDarkness: ''The Thran''.
* YourMileageMayVary: Depending on the player, but normally from WellIntentionedExtremist to CompleteMonster.
'''Red''' - Red is the passionate color, specializing in the "dry" elements of fire and earth, as well as chaos. Red is also associated with an artist's passions, though, so red can be destructive.
'''Tropes associated with red:'''
* BreathOfFire: Red dragons are the most fire-prone.
* ChaoticStupid
* DishingOutDirt (along with green)
* DragonRider
* GreatBallsOfFire: ''Blaze'' and ''Fireball''.
* HotBlooded
