Description of deck by it's author (quoted):
The problem with adding nice Ravnica block deck cards is that two of the three color combinations here (U/G and U/W) haven’t seen print yet. With this version, I de-emphasized the amount of Blue in the deck. There are now only six cards with double-Blue in the casting cost.

I kept many of the same cards of the previous incarnations of the deck – Eladamri's Call, Panther, Equilibrium, Snake, Battlemagi, Dismantling Blow, and Birds. However, many other cards appear, modifying the deck significantly.

Out come the Meddling Magi. Sure, they can shut down cards, but they are less reliable outside of tournament play. In go the efficient Watchwolves. 1GW to play a 3/3 and bounce a creature? That's golden, and their size will keep early creatures at bay.

The deck adds a pair of tutors at the cost of a pair of Fact or Fictions. I found the Facts were often competing with countermagic and Panthers for extra unused mana, so I wanted cheaper tutors to get the Equilibrium. I have a Sterling Grove to protect one while it is in play, or to tutor for one, plus the nice and cheap Enlightened Tutor.

I also tossed in Loxodon Hierarch. It adds some nice lifegain, has synergy with the Panthers and Equilibrium, and can help the team survive against some forms of mass removal.

A single Tolsimir Wolfblood is featured as a way to pump your creatures. Remember, every creature in this deck is either White or Green. In fact, a majority of the creatures in this deck are both, thus making Tolsimir a winning condition of his own as Watchwolves become 5/5, Panthers become 5/6, and Hierarchs become 6/6. You can also bounce his wolf token with the Panther when you don't want to return any creatures to your hand and just need a kitty instead of a doggy.

I added Mana Leaks in the place of previous Counterspells because they are easier to play and just as effective in the early game.
