Before FNMs, a lot of us have been messin around with LBC as of late. I put this together and it has been smashing the aggro tribal decks, and has a strong game against Faeries. Here's my list.

4 Firespout
2 Primal Command

4 Fertile Ground

3 Garruk Wildspeaker

4 Devoted Druid
4 Kitchen Finks
4 Deus of Calamity
4 Cloudthresher

4 Punctured Bolt
4 Lash Out

4 Vivid Grove
2 Reflecting Pool
4 Fire-Lit Thicket
9 Forest
4 Mountain

SB
2 Primal Command
4 Hurly-Burly
3 Chameleon Colossus
3 Spitebellows
3 Spring Cleaning

Is the faerie mu realy good, doesnt seem to be great, they can counter/take over your stuff. I dont think Garruk is good in this deck, just because a lot of decks can burn and faeries fly over him, maybe you can try another thread like Chameleon colossus or something in its place. Other then that i like the build, i love turn 3 deus.

Faeries doesn't have as many counters in Block as it does in Type2, no Rune Snag or Flashfreeze after board, so the match-ups better with 8 main-deck hate cards, then 7 more comeing in. And for Faeries you side out the Garruks for Colossus but in the other match-ups Garruk is amazing and helps to accelarate, does some sick things with Fertile Ground that allows for Turn 4 Cloudthreshers, or yea, turn 3 Deus with Devoted Druid is a beating.

i play most of the stuff you do but i play wg for oversoul of dusk and oring plut austere command. i splash the red part of firespout with fertile ground and vivid lands. its awesame especially since most of the time you just need the g to damage flyers. has a better faerie matchup and red deck wins matchup and just generally has unbeatable threats like oversoul and better more general removal as well as better sb cards. devoted druid is definitly the best card you have never played in block constructed.

I could see that, I love O. Ring in LBC, or atleast I did when I it was just Lorwyn, seems the formats little more aggressive now, similiar to T2 so the Planeswalkers aren't as good. So O. Ring might not be as strong as it once was, but still a great card that deals with any creature in the format. I think I just stuck to R/G as the formats pretty fast so the burn helps to keep control of the early game, before my spells outclass them in a turn or so. And Turn 3 Deus is just GG against a lot of decks, especially Game 1.

the thing is oversoul of dusk is more of a gg since it cant be removed by anything but w and g removal. deus is a great threat but a sowerable eyeblightable blockable one. also there is alot of reomoval in w thats just as good or better and in your deck that doesnt get outclassed like lash out and puncturing bolt does. the formats fast but its not fast enough to play subpar removal because its a turn faster.
