Speaking of Temur I believe it is the color combination Ugin had before he became colorless. Specifically he was born with the Temur color combination centered in Blue. Here are my reasons for it: 1. He always had a desire to explore and learn (B,R) everything about the multiverse while preserving and protecting it (G) like when he didn't want the gate watch to eliminate the eldrazi because they might hold and important role in the multiverse (G). 2. Being Nicol Bolas twin brother and sharing an egg with him it would make sense that they shared more than one color, in their case Blue and Red. 3. If I remember correctly he's powers revolved around creating living things from mana like the dragons of Tarkir from the dragon storm. The Temur color combo has always been the color capable of creating things from nothing and manifesting things like dreams, spirits and illusions into reality and giving life and sentience to natural forces like elementals. 4. There's also the whole thing about Ugin being "the soul of Tarkir". Ugin, a pre mending plains walker AND an Elder Dragon would have the power to either create the plane or molded it in his image. If he is a wedge color dragon then that might explain why Tarkir is a wedge color centered plane. And remember, where was he in fate reforged fighting Bolas?, in or close to Temur territory. 5. Put his main planswalker card next to the Temur/rBg apex predator of Ikoria, Illuna. They clearly look as if they might be related or in other words born out of the same mana combination. And what are her powers? O yes creating life, in her case beasts, out of nothing. 6. One thing we must remember about the shard color elder dragons are that their main color that their personalities revolve around is the one at the center. Chromium is an Esper combo centered on Blue, Bolas is Grixis center on Black and so on. Some people forget this ehen in regards to the wedges because in the Tarkir story lines the Kahn's had one of their allied colors as their center instead of the enemy color. This was because they were planning on creating the Dragon Supremacists timeline otherwise known as the Sarkhan is a F'ER TIMELINE from the very beginning. You know the one were the complex clans were erased from existence and substituded with a bunch of unbalanced dragon "broods" and more to the point where the enemy color of the factions are removed. But that case was unique to tarkir and was made clear in Ikoria that the center color for each wedge was the enemy color. In that case logic would dictate that the Wedge color Elder Dragons would also have their personalities center around the center color and in the wedges that would be the enemy color. Meaning that if Ugin was a Temur themed dragon his personality would fall into Blue. So here are my main points for Blue: a) Ugin is more cerebral and contemplative than emotional. The only times were emotions got the better of him were under very dire circumstances. First upon realizing that Bolas, his twin, doesn't give a crap about him and in the Eldrazi incident. Most of the time his is all chilled and stoic. and b) Let us remember the goal of Blue, to improve and evolve via knowledge, to become more than one is by choice and application. Ugin would fit into this. He study mana and it's nature to the point that he literally evolved beyond, or better yet transcendent the color wheel itself. He also transcendent death itself practically giving it the finger using manipulation and time travel both of which are main characteristics of Blue.
I was confused for a few seconds until k realized you meant blue and red, blue’s single letter is U, but i agree it probably was Ugins original color and if they continue the ED cycle from Legends into wedge color combinations would probably it would be ugin in the URG slot
@@BloodDracolich Oh I'm not saying we need less dragons, what I say that *WE* *NEED* *THE* *FULL* *CYCLE* *OF* *WEDGE* *ELDER* *DRAGONS* *C'MON* *WOTC!!!*
Probably because they lost their enemy color when the dragons took over and stripped the clans of their identities. Temur lost their shamanic wisdom, mardu lost their code of honor, jeskai lost their passion for learning, sultai lost their respect for the cycle of life and death, and abzan lost their connection to their ancestral past.
Temur is my favorite tarkir clan, but i still feel they are just cold gruul, or snow gruul haha, i dont see the blue color só present to make an actual difference
It's basically both colors getting modified by green. Green can be the beastial savage (red) and the wise shaman who looks to nature and the past for answers (blue).

Let's go Temur! Thanks for covering my favorite three color combination.
Hope I did them justice!
@@TheLorebrarians you did :)
I really liked the clans, and most of the time it felt like their unique flavor was lost with the dragons
Being a dragon guy, I'm in no hurry to go back to the khans.

Thanks for the mini heart attack at the start, i heard the raptor call and despite knowing better instantly thought i was about to be attacked
Couldn’t place it, thx for the recognition!
Ohhhh ho ho new 5 part series boiiiiis
Cool video man, loving your content!
Appreciate it!
I first started playing MTG during KTK and Temur was my starter deck, good old times.
Very cool. Can't wait for the Azban video.
Can't wait to see the rest of the Clans!!!!! My favorite is Jeskai!!!
I don't recall, is there a episode about this whole realm? or are we getting more of these on this plane?
I haven't yet done a plane of tarkir explained. Would love to cover it in the future
Suggestion: You already made Nikol Bolas and Niv Izzet. Make Ugin next please
Great work like your lore videos... better than the actual story😅
