Someone move this to Developmental, please.

Oh, by the way, welcome to The Source!

Okay, this will certainly be moved to Developmental, but here are some suggestions for your deck:

- You have not enough draw (Add something like Brainstorm, etc. Standstill alone is most likely not enough)
- Fetchlands are good, even if you don't run Duals since they make you shuffle after a Brainstorm
- Life from the Loam and Gaea's Blessing. This is not good since you will end up milling Blessings into your grave, thus making your Loam engine useless.
- Speaking of which, where are your Cycling lands (Lonely Sandbar, Tranquil Thicket)? They are a solid draw engine with LftL.

Welcome to the Source. :)

This deck needs some creature defense, too. I think any heavy aggro would roll you. Maybe add white for swords and wrath (good synergy with manlands, too). Mesmeric Orb + Loam should give you access to much mana. Speaking of which, loam plus coliseum plus frequent threshold might make cephalid coliseum good here as a one-fer or two-fer. Without the duals or fetches I don't think you can support the factories -- especially if you add white. You could maybe run Jotun Grunt instead of the blessings if you wanted to cut green altogether. Regardless of fetches, brainstorm would be good with the orb.

I'm guessing that you are using the LFTL to also mill the blessing in the grave. While an interesting tactic, it is unneeded. Take a look the version I am currently working on.

4 counter spell
4 force of will
4 mesmeric orb
2 stifle
4 swords to plowshares
3 wrath of god
4 brain storm
3 thirst for knowledge
2 sensies devining top
2 isocron scepter
2 orims chant
2 gaes blessing
4 flooded strand
2 polluted delta
4 tundra
4 tropical island
1 forest
6 plains
3 islands


Probably not optimal, but hey, its a start. Hope this helps.

Edit: mabey this does not belong, because I am not running stand still.

I would reduce the number of Blessings to 1 if not zero. You only really need one as a backup win condition.

Also if youre dumping so much stuff in your graveyard you should probably be running graveyard abuse like crucible of worlds, or flashback stuff like deep analysis.

The biggest problem with straight U/G is removal or lack there of. I really feel you need something for removal. Even if it's some form of bounce. Straight aggro decks like Goblins can really give you fits. So if you expect Goblins to be there I would probably splash a 3rd color or cut green for a different color.
