The white one is always completely awful or dead. Black is very strong, but it's unlikely to live long enough to be more than just a slow, sorcery speed vamp. The blue one is decent, but there are much better sorcery speed card drawers, and much better creatures. Combining the two looks a lot better than it actually is.

The red one, though, is amazing. It helps defend you, rather than making you a target. Its ability is actually much stronger than it looks, since it can function as damage, board control, or even a nifty way to give haste to the guy you just cast (not that you should be playing your spell before attacking, so that's limited to pretty much just Arcanis).

The white one isn't awful, it just has a life expectancy that's less than a turn.

The black and blue ones are removed very early, but they're both strong.  I don't think I've ever seen the blue one get active, but I know the only time I've seen the black one do its thing, the game ended.  (I believe this was Carl, and he had Beacon of taking another turn.  Oops!)

The red one is only annoying.  In a two person game, it can be a real bomb, but in a game with a couple different players in it, this guy is just kinda okay.

I think we can all agree the green one is turd.  I don't even run him anymore.

This happened in a multiplayer Prismatic (5color) game on MTGO, but I was somehow able to get White Bringer recursion on Door to Nothingness going and I was able to knock out 3 players before the Bringer got killed.

i think the white bringer has potential to be the most powerful. white bringer with cards like mindslaver, grinning totem, bosh, etc etc make it really fricking good. there are just so many powerful artifacts that so frequently end up in your graveyard, white bringer on the board becomes a threat you just have to deal with. blue bringer is also nice becuase it usually lives for at least a few turns, and a few turns drawing 3 cards instead of 1 will put you in a pretty good position most of the time.
