Magic and Music: Intet (Blue-Red-Green)

http://www.lala.com/#memberplaylist/47893P81267/

This is one of my favorite lists, for although it doesn't really have a strong flavor Magically or musically, it holds up well as a compilation. Like the Simic, the biggest issue with compiling is that you have neither white nor black; all moods must be firmly in the middle. It's almost all green Izzet and red Simic, as blue Gruul is one of the most antithetical combinations around (though "Lush 3.1" pulls it off). I think of the five wedges, this is the one that most feels like it's the colors it is. If I asked you, "this CD is made of three Magic colors - what are they?", you'd probably do a fine job at getting them. This one surprised me with its high quality, I'm proud to say.
