What of the five colors would be the most likely to say these things?
"Power should require price." "The heroes are the winners!"
make a decision first before reading
I think the first quote would be red. Red doesn't like the idea of someone having power over other people while having complete disregard to those other individuals' needs or wants. Black and white would take power that would disregard the needs and rights of individuals. Green and blue would likely be indifferent to such a cause, and green especially believes in predetermination, which is cost-free power sometimes.
The second quote seems like it belongs in white. It has that "we'll show the power of teamwork" feel on top of showing off white's darker side. In history, the people that win are often praised for however long their system rules, and even further beyond that for some civilizations. White would probably use that to its advantage, and would know that as long as they win, their way is the right one. Only black could compare to that, but would fear counter-revolution too much to say this.

I'm not sure what the first quote means. If it is like "Power is worth any price" that is black. If it is more like "Power comes with responsibility" that is white because they believe everyone with power should use it to make the world better for everyone, and anyone using power selfishly should have that power taken away.
The second one sounds black. Your one and only responsibility is to survive. Any question about whether your actions make you a hero can wait until we know who is alive at the end. I could also see red saying this but they care more about actions than results.

Eh, the first sounds like blue describing a situation that occurred to black. Blue would be curious and seek to understand the mechanics that gave black a sudden influx of power.
The second sounds quite green to me. I guess you could see it as white believing that they will prevail over its enemies due to the purity of its ideals. However, being the hero because you won is totally green "survival of the fittest"

I tend to agree that both of these sound black.

The second really depends on the context. If it's "heroes have the righteousness to win", then it's . If it's "heroes are just another word for winners", then it's .
what color(s) would come across one group of people committing a crime against another group...and kill everyone connected to both groups on the grounds that: the criminals were doing harm, and that those done harm by the criminals would become criminals themselves (by seeking revenge against those who wronged them).

Pure unadulterated power is more of a black thing but that is not what that sentence is saying. Power requiring price is restriction, balance, a tax even, it's clearly white.
The second one is really hard to nail down because I am not sure what context its being used on. It can really be several colors.

might probably do that.
doesn't care. would not use that logic to kill two groups of people. doesn't care.
would sacrifice a few to protect many. is a utilitarian.

preemtive justice seems like a really twisted form of jeskai to me. alone wouldn't be so hasty to wreak that kind of destruction
