Hogwarts Legacy, the highly anticipated role-playing video game set in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, has stirred up excitement among fans. However, recent reports suggest that the game's portrayal of Hogwarts as an ancient hotspot for witchcraft may not be entirely accurate. While Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry is undoubtedly a hub for magical education in the Harry Potter series, the notion of it being an ancient hotspot for witchcraft is not entirely supported by historical records. **Historians have pointed out that the roots of witchcraft and its practice are much older than Hogwarts.** Witchcraft has been an integral part of human history for centuries, with its origins dating back to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Ancient Greece. **These early civilizations had their own rituals, spells, and beliefs associated with witchcraft.
Perish affects only Green creatures, leaving the Black player who casts it with his army intact, and for the quite reasonable cost of just 3 mana.
As a beginner, blue can be among the hardest colors to play, but stronger players can scare the crap out of you with it when you go against a strong blue deck.

Colors that are designed to work together:
Now I'm not sure how many of you guys actually know this . but the back of a Magic Card actually tells you which colors are designed to work together!
All 5 colors are represented on the back of the card. Wizards of the Coast (WOTC) does their best to make adjacent colors easier to work together. Here's a larger image to help make things easier to see:
In this illustration (created by Pojo writer EBM many moons ago), the thick green lines between the colored circles indicate the harmonious flow of Mana. Colors are most easily combined when aligned with their immediate neighbors. The magenta-colored arrows indicate disharmonious, opposing colors: in this case White is opposed by both Black and Red. So Wizards tries to make white work well with green and blue, and hate for red & black. You'll see a lot of examples of this when you look at your cards in detail.
What do I mean by "Hate"? Here's a great example in the black card, Perish:
Perish affects only Green creatures, leaving the Black player who casts it with his army intact, and for the quite reasonable cost of just 3 mana.
That's not saying that you can't make a powerful deck that includes opposite colors, because you certainly can. WOTC just tries to make it easier for you to combine neighbors, with great "Hate" cards in opposing colors.
