A deck using U/B/G to do a lot of fun stuff.
--- end description ---
Yep. I’ve lost it. U/B/G?
But really, it is a logical choice. Observe following combo.
Bitterblossoms
Essence Warden
QED.  And then Green has the PERFECT stuff to leave mana open, Black has the creatures and U has Notorious Throng. So let’s get started.
Secluded Glen x 4
Llanowar Wastes x 4
Yavimaya Coast x 4
River of Tears x 4
Forest x 4
Swamp x 2
Essence Warden x 4
Oona’s Blackguard x 4
Scion of Oona x 3
Bitterblossoms x 4
Fertile Ground x 4
The Rack x 4
Notorious Throng x 4
Familiar’s Ruse x 3
Cryptic Command x 2
Garruk Wildspeaker x 4
Liliana Vess x 2
Notice that this WOULD be Lorwyn Block if not for the Essence Wardens (and the lands, of course). So if you cut those for, say, Primal Command (7 life is nice, though not as much as Essence Wardens) and fix the mana base, then you’d be good to rock Lorwyn Block. |

It’s good... though you should say what decks it would be great against and what decks it would be destroyed by. Looks good though.  |

I don’t know that until I’ve tested it. Is that like, your generic feedback?
How about it would crush any of yours?
The deck’s designed to handle just about anything. Its faster than most control decks, and not all that creature intensive. Post wrath comeback is solid. Plus the ability to generate creatures all at once and go aggro within a turn means you’re usually churning out your creatures all at once, without giving them time to draw their removal. You should be able to prowl a Notorious Throng, leaving your the PERFECT opportunity to slam with the same effect as haste
Aggro helps you. You like creatures hitting play. Especially since yours actually deal damage, whilst theirs don’t.
Big creature aggro (giants) gets countered.
So basically, it doesn’t excel against any one decktype and doesn’t die to any one decktype either. Except maybe mill. Or targeted removal and flying creatures that can block (but I don’t see that that much). |

Yes, because not everyone seems to put strengths/weaknesses. Thanks for adding it though.

Hmm, it would have a tough time against my mono  land deck. Not even a joke. |

| You play too many Throngs and Garruks, 2 and 3 would do it. Also one less Bitterblossom. And I’d personally cut The Rack entirely. |
