White vs. Black Vampiric Ideologies in MTG 

you must be the Belmont

It's _still_ Nosferatu.

The vampires from the VtM lore. There are too much good characters there to pick one, though Beckett and Malkav are great.

The Witcher. Beings from another world that understand how fragile humans are and go to great lengths to hide, not out of fear but out of an understanding that they are just too few compared to humans. I love that it takes away the human origins, something that I believe deepens the humanity they display.

Kain, Vorodor, Nosferatu, Mr Barlow and Rene's vampire mentor character from "My Best Friend is a Vampire."

"I have no malice for my prey; does a wolf hate the elk? I am just a predator of a different sort."

​@@Gigadramon6 "why would I hate someone weaker than myself?"

Honestly I love them. I think it just works so well. Like placing the need to feed into the need for conquest is super cool

Very much agreed, that take on vampire is brilliant - they feel like vampires, the tribe we know so well, yet are so innovative in that regard. It's also a fun twist on the traditional vamps who are talked about as spawns of hell, where now they're the church!

Well I am thinking of doing something similar with werewolves in the coming weeks

i believe markov waltzer and odric are white red only vampires

" Infinity war is the biggest crossover "

you made a great addition to an already interesting video, so thank you

Which clan was Black/White/Red in color?

@@kolbyyoung8525 Brujah and the Ministry (aka Followers of Set), because I actually had to use each of the ten colour pairings more than once in order to represent all of the clans. Brujah because they are passionate idealists and iconoclasts who fight to overthrow the status quo and implement a system that they believe to be right, which is their Boros basis, but they're still vampires and are by the very nature selfish creatures (which is where Black comes in), so what they may believe to be right for the collective is ultimately only right for themselves. The same can be said for any politically involved Kindred, but the Brujah are a special case, as they have deluded themselves into believing that they are the clan most in touch with their Humanity, and therefore their ways are the most humane and morally superior, though they are actually just potential tyrants of a different stripe. Ministry, on the other hand, approach Mardu from a Rakdos basis, as they are all about tempting people away from their established beliefs and into the pursuance of their vices. Where White comes in for them is in their clan's organization and their belief that the work they do is in service to their god Set. Even in the rebranded Ministry, which more or less takes Set out of the equation for many members, they still feel it is their obligation and duty to lead others into sin, but who they rationalize this obligation to be to is subjective to each Minister. I went back and forth between Mardu and Rakdos for the Ministry for awhile, but in the end decided that this sense of obligation that they feel made them just a little bit White, and went with clan Baali for the second Rakdos entry.

Please do, I would adore that. Very curious as to what you'd mark Nosferatu?

@@garlicg4532 I went a few different ways with the Nosferatu at first, but eventually settled on Blue/Black for them, and more in the classic Dimir aspect of the pairing. They are generally the spies, saboteurs, information gatherers, and information brokers of any given city, silently slinking through the shadows, surreptitiously sussing out secrets. They may not have the more direct mind manipulation powers of the Lasombra, but they can still be plenty manipulative through their control of the information flow. I could see adding Green to them to make them Sultai, based on many of them adapting to living in the sewers and communing with the vermin found therein, but unlike the Gangrel who are very much in tune with the natural world, I find that Nosferatu generally have a relationship of convenience with it, using rats, bats, and other small critters as simply a further means of gathering information, rather than through any desire to actually bond with them. At their base, most Nosferatu are bitter about the circumstances that are thrust upon them, being that they are forced to stay out of everyone else's sight, but the smart ones find ways to adapt and turn these regrettable circumstances to their advantage, which I feel is itself a very Blue/Black thing to do.

For sure. There is a lot of room for exploration here.

There were a couple of GB vampires in Strixhaven.

@@michellemoore7829 There's exactly one, I've looked it up. So... still a lot of space for Golgari vamps!

im playing a sultai based dhampir ranger in dnd, hes a very calculating character who sees everything in relation to predator/prey relationships. Hes constantly training to become an apex predator in the wild. i love using the color pie to flesh out my characters :D

@@kerithkordas7041 Right!

You started to get your wish

Really? I find his delivery quite good. His dramatic readings on his channel are some of the best out there. If anything, I would say that about the Lorebrerians

@@lirangorgon i guess it just comes down to a matter of taste after all, but yeah they both kinda were huh

Yeah, loreseeker is a long-time friend of the channel. Check out my video on nissa he helped a lot on that one.

@@DiceTry no way!!!super cool , I will

I think of a vampire that appears feral, but has just abandoned all pretense and chooses to hunt like that. Maybe tap into the wolf and bat familiars. Going Solo so as not to over hunt an area, and only taking as needed. Taking no joy in killing, but brooking no resistance.

Well share them with your friends we will get there

Strixhaven had black and Green Vampires

I actually did take it. I have a video covering it. If we are talking about the same one then I think it's a great quiz. I found it pinned my beliefs down pretty well. I also like that it shows your score for all colors as I do think people are 5 color it's just we lean more into a couple of them a bit more.

@@DiceTry oh wow, I just recently found your channel, I’m going have to go look for your video know, I just found the quiz today and it’s been making my mind buzz nonstop.

Well I love to hear that. The color pie is honestly such a fascinating mechanism

Those spooky folks who need a few days in the sun?

@@DiceTry yeah, like Lore and Lore 😂

Nevermind Dimir

Oh man now I won't be able to hear anything else

Greatest crossover since avengers

Not if you lean into their rolls as hunters. Green sees a place for everything. Mix that with vampires, and they will see their role as apex predator as almost a holy vocation prescribed by mother nature herself. Though undead, they are given a new life, and they will use it, even if it's corrupted, much like how vampirism and Black corrupt White's values into a mere excuse for conquest.

@@fightingleaf That's a great idea. Could easily work. :D
