[QUOTE=metawarlord]I have a few decks that I have or want to build for Standard 2011 legal. They are Mono Green, Black/Blue Control, and Mono Red. I may do Blue/White control instead if it is better than Blue/Black control, but I'm leaning towards Black rather than White. Basically, I want to know about how I can build the Blue/Black Control and Mono Red to work well in Standard, as well as make sure that my green deck will work all right.

Mono Green :manag:

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Viridian Emissary
4 Elvish Archdruid
4 Dungrove Elder
4 Bellowing Tanglewurm
4 Thundering Tanadon

4 Rampant Growth
4 Titanic Growth
4 Beast Within

20 Forests

Will this work in Innistrad and would a mono red or black/blue control deck work well in standard?[/QUOTE]

I'm not much on rating decks but I'll try.

Really, I have no idea what you're trying to do with the mono green, you should really mostly focus on one thing. I'm not sure if it'll help but try this:

4 Llanowar Elves
4 Viridian Emissary
4 Elvish Archdruid
4 Dungrove Elder
4 Bellowing Tanglewurm
4 Naturalize

4 Asceticism
4 Titanic Growth
4 Beast Within

20 Forests

The thing this deck needs is more defense. Just 4 beast withins won't cut it. Having Asceticism helps against most removal and naturalize can help to deal with a pesky artifact or enchantment.

Well, I did what i could.
