Zombies are mindless, and as they say ignorance is bliss right? So aren't zombies technically the happiest of all creatures? The most peaceful? Sure they eat unsavory things but so do crows and we've been through that arguement. They also form very tight knit groups as mentioned. I also see many white resurrection cards too, like  {Necromancer's Covenant}  {Sun Titan}  {Marshal's Anthem}  {Unburial Rites} and  {Defy Death}. Zombies could def be white in my eyes

I think Drewy3 makes some very valid points. It's important to think about what color certain creature types COULD have been. So important.

In literature (including the movies) zombies infect people and turn them into a zombie. Does this seem like peace or order or community? And I know wht your going to say that there bringing people to there community

But one of the definitions of community is agreements as goals. I don't think a persons goals is to be turned into a zombie. So zombies are not what embodies community

Well yes, zombies spread their orderly peace around. Once you get infected by a zombie, you rest in peace for a while, then you become part of the orderly zombie community. How is that not white?

One of the definitions of community is to be like-minded. Zombie being brain dead are obviously like-minded, true or false?
like-minded doesnt mean everyone thinking the same thing. I garuntee you only one thought is on a zombies mind "brains!" A community, takes many different ideas, as well as many similar ideas, and uses them to work towards a common goal

Zombies may be numerous in bodies, but there only one thought does not feel like community

I can see them as red though

Zombies create chaos.

Not at all, they bring the uniformity and this is the ultimate type of order. Zombies win, everyone is the same, part of the same community. Very white if you ask me.

you do make some interesting points Piotr. And your pushing mind in new directions just to defend my point. And for that you get +1

Anyway, isn't it better for order to be had at the free will of those that are part of it? Black imposes on free will, zombies impose on free will. I know white makes laws, but it doesn't force someone to obey them. It punishes when someone breaks them

Zombies could also be green, because they are the rebirth of humans and elves, which are species in nature, which is green o.o

I need to disagree with this, most of the laws that I know of, specifically use force in prevention of law breaking. In fact, I believe iMtG Law to be quite unique in that aspect.

zombies can't be green because green does not use death unnaturally

your probably trying to trap me Into using your argument that zombies are peaceful or something like that. The truth of the matter is though, that all the colors use brutality in some way shape or fashion. Plus, zombies are pretty brutal

Plus, the brutality usually comes after te law is broken

Oh but it does. The nature is all about eat or be eaten, nature causes death as one of its main functions. Like, a cat eats a mouse and the mouse is quite dead in the process.

So i think its settled that zombies are most certainly not black and it was a mistake

im not arguing that green doesn't kill. Yes green does kill to eat. According to Mark Rosewater, green doesn't understand unnatural death outside of the natural cycle.

How do you explain  {Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord} and the rest of the GB Zombies.

Well having your brains eaten out will quite naturally cause a death of yours. I don't know who Mark is, but Charles Darwin once famously said, "To kill an error is as good a service as, and sometimes even better than, the establishing of a new truth or fact."
