It would've been great if the free peoples of Middle-Earth had been Rakdos-colored and the tyranny of Sauron and Saruman had been based on white mana.
The Lidless Eye is working towards homogeny and stagnation. Kind of a missed opportunity to break from the "black magic is evil" trope 🤷🏻♀️ @mtg

It seems to me there's usually mixes in Middle Earth.
Like order can be good (Aragorn is a healer and acclaimed monarch) but it can also be tyrannical and against the natural order (Sauron and Saruman are all about absolute control, and Rings of Power seem to have an element of prolonging things beyond their natural span).
And Sauron may be about control, but Morgoth seemed more about corruption and wanton destruction (more Black?).

Yeah, and Dovin in Kaladesh.

It'a the fact that they occasionally do it that makes me wish they'd have done it here, too. It would've been lagomly radical.
