Deck Challenge: One Allied Enemy

The Shards of Alara theme was 3 colours that work together, this challenge is similar.
Take the magic colour wheel and chose a colour, now look at it's "enemy" colours and take

them both. you should have one of the following colour combonations:
:manaw::manar::manag: or :manau::manag::manar: or :manab::manag::manaw: or :manar::manaw::manau: or :manag::manau::manab:

Now make a themed deck using these colours similar to the way the shards where done, eg:

WUB (Esper) = Artifacts, RGW (Naya) = Big creatures (power 5 or greater), etc. But unlike

the shards, that are standard, you can use any legal format you want (standard, extended,

etc.)

To sum up the challenge is to make a themed 3 colour deck using one of the colour

combonations above.

This is a very open challenge in terms of restrictions but still very interesting.
I am only going to post one deck for this competition:

The Banned Deck

This one was finished a while back. It is all about abusing blinking effects.

Cool deck, but not quite what I was going for. If I read the colours rite, they are not of the colour concomations I wanted. I could have read it wrong (I am using my cell to check this at the moment), but your deck is WUB.

I've saw this one when you posted it and I like it, just never commented on it because I was pissedoff with that Lalala guy and I don't want to comment when I'm in a bad mood.

I'm sorry mate here is the alternative then. It is :manau::manab::manag: so it should fit in with your specifications.

Don't mind the comments on the deck page because I might be wrong in terms of deck strategy.

It is a very nice deck whitey_mcfly.
Thankfully idiots like Lalala can easily be removed once someone reports them.

A nice deck. Let me see if I can get this rite, you use the hacker to make the Hatchling enter the battlefield with 4 +1/+1 counters, then double them with Gilder Bairn. I like the idea.

For this deck challenge I felt that the best block to focus in was the Lorwyn and Shadowmoor block due to the dual color creatures and as I randomly selected which color set to use I found I was looking at alot of elves. So here is an elf deck using mostly green with some black and white to help it along.
